Alamos’ current drill program is focusing on the high sulfidation gold mineralized area in the south, where gold mineralization was identified in Aloro’s initial drill program. Drill hole LVRC-012 cut 32m of blind strong silicic alteration with brecciated vuggy silica and sulfides containing the best gold intercept of 4.57 meters of 1.72 gpt Au. The intercept was interpreted to be at the margin of concealed felsic dome by the Company’s Technical Advisors at the time. (See news release of February 05, 2019)
