Minera Alamos Inc.: Drilling at Los Verdes North Deposit Returns Values in Excess of Existing South Resource

“Not only were we encouraged by the significant copper equivalent grades at the North Deposit but also by an unexpectedly high silver content – over five times that experienced in the South Deposit,” said Darren Koningen, President, Minera Alamos Inc. “The real surprise, however, was how close the deposit came to surface making it ideal for open pit mining. The top six metres of all nine holes had a collective average grade of 0.79% copper equivalent.”
