About Minera Alamos Inc.
Minera Alamos is a gold production and
development Company. The Company has a portfolio of high-quality
Mexican assets, including the 100%-owned Santana open-pit,
heap-leach mine in Sonora that is currently going through the
start-up of operations at the new Nicho Main deposit. The
100%-owned Cerro de Oro oxide gold project in northern Zacatecas
has considerable past drilling and metallurgical work completed and
the proposed mining project is currently being guided through the
permitting process by the Company’s permitting consultants. The La
Fortuna open pit gold project in Durango (100%-owned) has a
positive, robust preliminary economic assessment (PEA) completed,
and the main Federal permits are in place. Minera Alamos is built
around its operating team that together brought three open pit heap
leach gold mines into successful production in Mexico over the last
14 years.
The Company’s strategy is to develop very low
capex assets while expanding the projects’ resources and continuing
to pursue complementary strategic acquisitions.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This news release may contain forward-looking
information and Minera Alamos cautions readers that forward-looking
information is based on certain assumptions and risk factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from the
expectations of Minera Alamos included in this news release. This
news release includes certain “forward-looking statements”, which
often, but not always, can be identified by the use of words such
as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “estimates”, “may”,
“could”, “would”, “will”, or “plan”. These statements are based on
information currently available to Minera Alamos and Minera Alamos
provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s
expectations. Forward-looking statements include statements
regarding anticipated completion of the Offering, and the proposed
use of proceeds of the Offering. Since forward-looking statements
are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions
that, by their very nature involve inherent risks and
uncertainties. Actual results relating to, among other things,
results of exploration, the economics of processing methods,
project development, reclamation and capital costs of Minera
Alamos’ mineral properties, the ability to complete a preliminary
economic assessment which supports the technical and economic
viability of mineral production could differ materially from those
currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons. Minera
Alamos’ financial condition and prospects could differ materially
from those currently anticipated in such statements for many
reasons such as: an inability to finance and/or complete an updated
resource and reserve estimate and a preliminary economic assessment
which supports the technical and economic viability of mineral
production; changes in general economic conditions and conditions
in the financial markets; changes in demand and prices for
minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and other
judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments;
technological and operational difficulties encountered in
connection with Minera Alamos’ activities; and other matters
discussed in this news release and in filings made with securities
regulators. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may
affect any of Minera Alamos’ forward-looking statements. These and
other factors should be considered carefully, and readers should
not place undue reliance on Minera Alamos’ forward-looking
statements. Minera Alamos does not undertake to update any
forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by
Minera Alamos or on its behalf, except in accordance with
applicable securities laws.
The Company does not have a feasibility study of
mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability
for the Santana project, and, as a result, there may be an
increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery
of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased risks
associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit.
Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and
technical failure.
NEITHER TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE NOR ITS REGULATION
SERVICES PROVIDER (AS THAT TERM IS DEFINED IN THE POLICIES OF THE
TSX VENTURE EXCHANGE) ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR
ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
