TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today reported new results from underground and surface drilling at the Island Gold Mine. Exploration drilling continues to extend high-grade gold mineralization across the Island Gold Deposit, as well as within several hanging wall and footwall structures. The ongoing success through 2024 is expected to drive another year of growth in Mineral Reserves and Resources within the year-end update to be released in February 2025.

"Our drilling program at Island Gold over the past year has been one of the most successful in the history of the asset in terms of the magnitude of high-grade intercepts across the lateral extent of the main deposit, and within the numerous newly defined hanging wall and footwall zones. We expect this to drive another year of growth in combined Mineral Reserves and Resources, marking the ninth consecutive year, with grades also increasing over that time frame. Island Gold has established itself as one of the highest-grade and fastest growing deposits in the world. With the main structure open laterally and down-plunge, and significant high-grade results being intersected within emerging and yet to be defined zones in proximity to the main structure, we see excellent potential for this pace of growth to continue,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Island Gold Main zone exploration highlights: high-grade mineralization extended outside of Mineral Reserves and Resources in the E1E and C-Zones. These zones are the main structures which host the majority of currently defined Mineral Reserves and Resources at Island Gold. New highlights include1:

  • Island West (C-Zone)

    • 67.68 g/t Au (16.07 g/t cut) over 3.61 m (790-479-62);

    • 31.59 g/t Au (31.59 g/t cut) over 4.18 m (890-461-58);

    • 16.58 g/t Au (16.58 g/t cut) over 5.56 m (890-461-40);

    • 40.21 g/t Au (21.69 g/t cut) over 2.08 m (790-479-69);

    • 22.71 g/t Au (11.48 g/t cut) over 2.14 m (890-461-54); and

    • 20.09 g/t Au (20.09 g/t cut) over 2.13 m (1025-497-08).

  • Island East (E1E-Zone)

    • 55.50 g/t Au (45.31 g/t cut) over 3.87 m (MH40-02);

    • 49.26 g/t Au (49.26 g/t cut) over 2.07 m (540-578-05);

    • 31.55 g/t Au (31.55 g/t cut) over 2.92 m (MH40-03); and

    • 26.25 g/t Au (26.25 g/t cut) over 2.57 m (540-578-08).

Island Gold Hanging Wall and Footwall exploration highlights: high-grade gold mineralization intersected within new and recently defined hanging wall and footwall zones across the main Island Gold Deposit. These zones represent significant opportunities to continue to grow near mine Mineral Reserves and Resources which are low-cost to develop and produce from, given their proximity to existing infrastructure.
