Alamos Gold Extends Gold Mineralization Below Mineral Reserves and Resources at Young-Davidson

Jul 13, 2021


Alamos Gold Inc. today reported results from the ongoing underground exploration drilling program at Young-Davidson which has been successful at extending gold mineralization outside of Mineral Reserves and Resources.

  • Gold mineralization extended 150 metres (“m”) below existing Inferred Mineral Resources (YMEX21-8960-021). This follows a 220 m extension of gold mineralization in 2020 which contributed to an increase in Inferred Mineral Resources in the year-end update. New highlights include:   
    • 5.32 g/t Au (3.35 g/t cut) over 39.20 m (34.57 m true width) including 21.96 g/t Au (9.78 g/t cut) over 6.20 m (5.47 m true width) (YMEX20-8960-008)1;
    • 5.42 g/t Au over 12.75 m (11.25 m true width) including 32.30 g/t Au over 0.65 m (0.57 m true width) (YMEX21-8960-016); and
    • 4.36 g/t Au over 9.00 m (YMEX21-8960-021).
  • High-grade mineralization intersected 200 m outside of the syenite in the hanging wall (YMEX20-8960-014), as well as in the footwall of the deposit (YMEX20-8960-011) highlighting significant near-mine exploration potential outside of the known ore body. New highlights include: 
    • 5.79 g/t Au over 13.70 m including 24.14 g/t Au over 1.85m (YMEX20-8960-014); and
    • 8.32 g/t Au over 6.30 m (3.84 m true width) including 22.50 g/t Au over 1.20 m (0.73 m true width) (YMEX20-8960-011)1. 

“With improved access from the lower mine, we have begun testing the potential below the existing deposit which remains open at depth and to the west. The early results are very promising, extending similar style gold mineralization below Mineral Reserves and Resources within the syenite that hosts the existing ore body. High-grade mineralization was also intersected in structures outside of the syenite in both the hanging wall and footwall. Both demonstrate the significant potential to add Mineral Reserves and Resources below the existing deposit, and at potentially higher grades within adjacent structures,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
