The company said that Goldak Airborne Surveys has conducted an airborne gamma spectrometer survey over the property and has identified several areas that indicate radioactive anomalies attributed to uranium.

To follow up on the results of the Goldak and previous V-TEM and magnetometer surveys, a prospecting program has been started at Carpenter Lake.

Radon-in-soil and soil geochemical surveys will also be carried out, to enhance targets identified as part of the 2014 winter program.

Alpha Exploration said, in a statement, "The radon-in-water and lake sediment uranium anomalies identified in the winter 2014 surveys are important indicators for locating potential buried uranium mineralization or uranium boulder fields in a ‘down-ice’ direction from potential bedrock sources of uranium.

"Overall, field work this summer will focus on those areas with the strongest integration of airborne radiometric anomalies, geochemical anomalies and the location of cross-cutting features on regional conductors, as defined by the recent airborne VTEM survey."

Located approximately 85km west of the past-producing Key Lake uranium mine, the Carpenter Lake property comprises 20,637 hectares within five contiguous mineral dispositions.
