Mulatos Operating Performance Update

In the month of May 2011, daily average crusher throughput increased significantly relative to prior periods, establishing a new monthly record. Crushed ore was stacked on the leach pad at an average rate of 15,300 tonnes per day in the month of May, a 29% increase from the first quarter of 2011. In addition, the Company was able to maintain a crusher product size of approximately 90% less than three-eighths of an inch.

The Company is also pleased to announce that Thomas McGrail has joined Alamos as General Manager of the Mulatos Mine. Mr. McGrail has over 35 years of experience in the mining industry in North and Latin America. Prior to joining Alamos, Mr. McGrail was the Vice President of Operations for Aura Minerals Inc.

Commenting on the improvement in crusher throughput, Manley Guarducci, Alamos’ Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer, stated “This past month’s increase in crusher throughput is a direct result of improved operating and maintenance practices and is a testament to the calibre of new hires who recently joined our operating team in Mexico. I am very pleased that we’ve achieved an average rate of 15,300 tonnes per day during the month of May, and I am confident that we can maintain this level of throughput going forward.”

The Company is maintaining its 2011 annual production guidance of between 145,000 and 160,000 ounces of gold at a cash operating cost per ounce of gold sold of between $365 and $390, exclusive of the 5% royalty. Inclusive of the 5% royalty and assuming an average realized gold price of $1,500 per ounce, the total cash cost range for 2011 is $440 to $465 per ounce of gold sold.

Cautionary Non-GAAP Statements

Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company believes that investors use certain indicators to assess gold mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. “Cash operating costs per ounce” and “total cash costs per ounce” as used in this analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of “cash operating costs per ounce” as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, “cash operating costs per ounce” reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of gold sold in the period. “Cash operating costs per ounce” may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, waste-to-ore ratios, grade of ore processed and gold recovery rates in the period. “Total cash costs per ounce” includes “cash operating costs per ounce” plus applicable royalties. Cash operating costs per ounce and total cash costs per ounce are exclusive of exploration costs.
