(TSXV: ALEX, listed 2021) explores its 100%-owned, 771km2 Kerkasha Project in Eritrea, comprising four areas of colonial-era workings and six artisanal gold-mining prospects plus 17+ other gold prospects. Its district-scale Aburna Gold Project (>=7km long, 2km wide gold system) is the current focus, with core and reverse-circulation drilling commenced 15 July 2026 (a fully funded ~6,500m phase-one 2026 campaign) after earlier RAB drilling expanded prospect targets.

Lifecycle Milestones
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal the underlying research identifies — whether a major already holds a JV, earn-in, or 5–19.9% strategic stake — isn't tracked yet and is absent from this score.

Insiders, Investors & Smart Money
Notable shareholders and insiders whose involvement is worth knowing about, plus what we're seeing from institutional/large-investor activity.
One person, Berhane Soquar, has been buying Alpha Exploration steadily on the open market — sixteen separate purchases on file, thirteen of them in the last twelve months, roughly 1.2 million shares in all, and not a single sale ever recorded. It is a genuinely clean pattern, but it is one buyer holding around 1% of the company, and the rubric's stronger band needs two. Euro Pacific Asset Management -- Peter Schiff's gold-and-resource-focused fund -- holds a real 6.89% stake, the one named specialist on the register. Beyond that we found nothing: the C$8 million placement at C$0.60 completed in two tranches in 2026 named no subscribers, and no producer or joint-venture partner is disclosed on the Kerkasha project in Eritrea.
