VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 22, 2012) - Alphamin Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AFM) (the "Company" or "Alphamin") is pleased to announce that it has received all mandatory permits from Authority of Civil Aviation ("AAC") allowing the contracted helicopter to operate throughout the North Kivu Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC"). The Company now plans to commence with a 2,800m diamond drilling programme to test tin mineralisation below the extensive artisanal workings on Bisie Tin Project ("Bisie"). Tin was discovered at Bisie in 2004 and was mined extensively by artisanal miners up to 2010 when the DRC Government introduced restrictions on tin sales in the eastern DRC causing an exodus from the area of all involved in the informal mining operations.
The Bisie tin deposit is located within the Walikale District roughly 140km west-northwest of the regional centre of Goma in one of the world's principal Precambrian orogenic-metallogenic provinces. Tin mineralization is within a set of north-south trending quartz/cassiterite veins in schists exposed over 1km along a ridge which transgresses the project for more than 9km. Accredited ACME Laboratories, Vancouver, Canada reported high grade tin results of 50-95% SnO2 (cassiterite) for Bisie ore and significant grades in surrounding host rock confirming potential for a mineralized halo surrounding high grade veins. The mineralization at Bisie was determined to be unique from other known tin deposits due to its high grade and presence of hematite and rare earth elements up to 0.5%. These potential quantities and grades are conceptual in nature. Insufficient exploration has been done to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
Rock Drilling Congo (DRC) SPRL has been contracted and is expected to be on site before the end of the quarter. The Company will also initiate a soil sampling programme to better define the extent of tin mineralization along the 9km ridge.
