Alamos Gold Intersects Additional High-Grade Mineralization Across the Island Gold Deposit and Adjacent to Multiple Nearby Past-Producing Mines

Core Viewpoint - Alamos Gold Inc. continues to report significant exploration success at the Island Gold Mine, with high-grade gold mineralization being extended both underground and at surface levels, indicating strong potential for future growth in Mineral Reserves and Resources [1][2][19]. Exploration Results - The Island Gold Mine has seen an increase in its Mineral Reserve base for 12 consecutive years, with ongoing exploration supporting expectations for continued growth [2][19]. - High-grade mineralization has been extended outside of existing Mineral Reserves and Resources in various zones, including the E1E and C-Zones, with notable drill results such as 15.87 g/t Au over 2.72 m in the E1E-Zone and 37.26 g/t Au over 2.86 m in the B Zone [3][4][6][28]. Regional Exploration - The regional exploration program has successfully intersected high-grade gold mineralization at the past-producing Cline-Pick and Edwards mines, located seven kilometers from the Magino Mill, which may serve as additional sources of higher-grade ore [1][15][44]. - Significant drill results from the Cline-Pick Mines include 8.22 g/t Au over 21.13 m and 19.22 g/t Au over 4.65 m, while the Edwards Mine reported 55.95 g/t Au over 2.12 m [15][48][53]. Future Plans - A budget of $27 million has been allocated for exploration at the Island Gold District in 2025, an increase from $20 million in 2024, with plans for 41,500 m of underground drilling and 18,000 m of surface exploration [19][21][22]. - The focus will be on defining new Mineral Reserves and Resources near existing production horizons and infrastructure, as well as expanding mineralization at the Magino site [21][22][23]. High-Grade Mineralization - Ongoing drilling has confirmed the continuity and extension of high-grade gold mineralization in various zones, with over 1,500 intersections above 3 g/t Au reported outside of existing Mineral Reserves and Resources [9][39][40]. - New highlights from the Island East Footwall zones include 21.42 g/t Au over 4.00 m and 31.44 g/t Au over 8.27 m, showcasing the potential for further high-grade additions [32][35].
