Alamos Gold Reports First Quarter 2024 Results
Mr. John McCluskey reports:
All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated.
TORONTO, April 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today reported its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
“We delivered another strong start to the year across a number of fronts, following a record performance in 2023. Costs were in line with guidance for the quarter and production exceeded guidance led by record production from La Yaqui Grande. With the solid first quarter, we are on track to achieve our full year production and cost guidance. We also continued to demonstrate our long-term track record of value creation through exploration and M&A. Our Mineral Reserves increased for the fifth consecutive year, and we expect to unlock significant value through our acquisition of the Magino mine and its integration with Island Gold. We expect the combination to create one of Canada’s largest and lowest cost gold mines, drive significant synergies, and solidify our unique positioning as a Canadian focused intermediate gold producer, with growing production and declining costs,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
First Quarter 2024 Operational and Financial Highlights
Produced 135,700 ounces of gold, exceeding quarterly guidance and representing a 6% increase from the first quarter of 2023. This was driven by another strong performance from the Mulatos District, including record quarterly production from La Yaqui Grande
Sold 132,849 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $2,069 per ounce, generating record quarterly revenue of $277.6 million, a 10% increase from the first quarter of 2023
Total cash costs1 were $910 per ounce, all-in sustaining costs ("AISC"1) were $1,265 per ounce, and cost of sales were $1,307 per ounce. As previously guided, costs were above full year guidance in the first quarter, with AISC also impacted by an increase in share-based compensation reflecting the Company's higher share price in the quarter. Costs are expected to decrease through the remainder of the year to be consistent with full year guidance
Strong ongoing free cash flow1 generation of $24.4 million, while funding the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold, and net of $45.3 million of cash tax payments in Mexico
Cash flow from operating activities of $108.9 million (including $134.9 million, or $0.34 per share before changes in working capital1)
Realized adjusted net earnings1 for the first quarter of $51.2 million, or $0.13 per share1. Adjusted net earnings includes adjustments for net unrealized foreign exchange losses recorded within deferred taxes and foreign exchange of $4.5 million, and other adjustments, net of taxes totaling $4.6 million.
Reported net earnings were $42.1 million, or $0.11 per share
Cash and cash equivalents increased 7% from the end of 2023 to $240.2 million, with no debt and $16.3 million in equity securities
Paid dividends of $9.8 million, or $0.025 per share for the quarter
Reported year-end 2023 Mineral Reserves of 10.7 million ounces of gold, a 2% increase from 2022, with grades also increasing 1%. This marked the fifth consecutive year Mineral Reserves have grown for a combined increase of 10% with grades also increasing 9% over that time frame. Additionally, Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources increased 12% to 4.4 million ounces, with grades increasing 9%, and Inferred Mineral Resources increased 3% to 7.3 million ounces, at 1% higher grades
Announced a definitive agreement to acquire Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut") and its Magino mine, located adjacent to the Company's Island Gold mine in Ontario, Canada. The integration of the two operations is expected to create one of the largest and lowest cost gold mines in Canada and unlock significant value with pre-tax synergies expected to total $515 million2 through the use of shared infrastructure
On April 4, 2024, announced the closing of the previously announced non-brokered private placement for common shares of Argonaut, representing approximately 13.8% of Argonaut's outstanding common shares for CAD $50 million
Completed the acquisition of Orford Mining Corporation ("Orford") on April 3, 2024, through which the Company consolidated its existing ownership of Orford shares and added the highly prospective Qiqavik Gold Project, located in Quebec, Canada
(1) Refer to the “Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures” disclosure at the end of this press release and associated MD&A for a description and calculation of these measures.
(2) Synergies are pre-tax and undiscounted. On a discounted basis, this represents an after-tax net present value of $250 million

Interview with John A. McCluskey, President & CEO of Alamos Gold Inc.
Recording date: 21st November 2023
Driving Returns Through Operational Excellence and Focused Growth
Alamos Gold is a growth story and represents a unique investment opportunity within the gold mining space, combining steady free cash flow generation with extensive visible production growth. Since its founding in 2003, the company has created significant value for shareholders by converting high-margin assets into expanding low-cost gold output.
Led by mining veterans, management has systematically built a portfolio of Tier 1 operating mines during periods of market dislocation. These high-grade cornerstone assets in mining-friendly North American jurisdictions provide sector-leading cost performance. Supported by peer-low All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) of around $1,000 per ounce, the company generates substantial cash flows throughout metal price cycles.
Unlike most mid-tier peers focused nearer-term on mine site exploration or marginal acquisitions, Alamos’ growth trajectory centers around fully-funded low-risk expansions. These construction projects add scale while lowering costs through operational leverage. The largest endeavor currently underway involves expanding Island Gold underground operations, which promises to increase output over 115% by 2026 once complete. Supporting further growth, existing infrastructure provides processing flexibility, extensive tailings capacity, and lower capital intensity for future development.
Beyond current mines, the company also controls what it believes is the best undeveloped gold deposit in Canada at Lynn Lake. Taken together, management targets boosting total production capacity 60% over coming years from 500,000 ounces currently to 800,000 ounces in 2028. Such growth promises significant cash flow expansion as gold prices rise.
Alamos Gold appears primed for future rerating as the market recognizes both high-quality assets and sector-leading growth. Exposure to rising gold prices with less risk forms a compelling opportunity for precious metals investors.

Alamos Gold Announces US$1 Billion Investment Treaty Claim Against the Republic of Turkey
DOWNLOAD PRESS RELEASE
PDF FORMAT (OPENS IN NEW WINDOW)
PDF 131 KB
TORONTO, April 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or, including its direct and indirect subsidiaries, the “Company”) regrets to announce that its Netherlands wholly-owned subsidiaries Alamos Gold Holdings Coöperatief U.A, and Alamos Gold Holdings B.V. (the “Subsidiaries”) will file an investment treaty claim against the Republic of Turkey for expropriation and unfair and inequitable treatment, among other things, with respect to their Turkish gold mining project. The claim will be filed under the Netherlands-Turkey Bilateral Investment Treaty (the “Treaty”), and is expected to exceed $1 billion, representing the value of the Company’s Turkish assets.
Alamos has had an active presence in Turkey since 2010. Over that time frame, the Company’s Turkish operations have met all legal and regulatory requirements, complied with best practices relating to sustainable development including meeting the highest environmental and social management standards, created hundreds of jobs, and developed trusting relationships with the local communities. Alamos and the Subsidiaries have invested over $250 million in Turkey, unlocked over a billion dollars worth of project value, and contributed over $20 million in royalties, taxes and forestry fees to the Turkish government. Over the life of the project, government revenues alone are expected to total $551 million. Additionally, Alamos and the Subsidiaries have invested $25 million to date towards various community and social initiatives.
In October 2019, well into construction of the Kirazli Gold Mine (“Kirazli”), the government failed to grant a routine renewal of the Company’s mining licenses, despite the Company having met all legal and regulatory requirements for their renewal. This past October, the Turkish government refused the renewal of the Company’s Forestry Permit. The Company had been granted approval of all permits required to construct Kirazli including the Environmental Impact Assessment approval, Forestry Permit, and GSM (Business Opening and Operation) permit, and certain key permits for the nearby Agi Dagi and Çamyurt Gold Mines. These permits were granted by the Turkish government after the project earned the support of the local communities and passed an extensive multi-year environmental review and community consultation process.
In its effort to secure the renewal of its mining licenses, the Company has attempted to work cooperatively with the Turkish government, has raised with the Turkish government its obligations under the Treaty, has sought to resolve the dispute by good faith negotiations, and has made considerable effort to build support among stakeholders and host communities. The Turkish government has failed to provide the Company with a reason for the non-renewal or a timeline for renewal of its licenses.
The failure to renew the Company’s mining licenses will result in the loss of over a half a billion dollars in future economic benefits to the Republic of Turkey, including tax and other revenues, and thousands of jobs within Turkey. In addition to the lost job opportunities, this will also have a lasting impact on the local population through the disruption of ongoing investments into community projects.
“Alamos began investing in Turkey in 2010, warmly welcomed by the Turkish government through its foreign investment office. After 10 years of effort and over $250 million invested by the Company we have been shut down for over 18 months in a manner without precedent in Turkey, despite having received all the permits required to build and operate a mine. The Company has worked in Turkey to the highest standard of conduct with respect to social and environmental best practices. Despite this effort, the Turkish government has given us no indication that relief is in sight, nor will they engage with us in an effort to renew the outstanding licenses. We are hopeful that the arbitration process will bring about the engagement that we have sought from the Turkish state, and lead to an equitable resolution to this impasse,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alamos Gold.
Alamos and the Subsidiaries are being represented by the leading Canadian law firm Torys LLP, with a team that includes John Terry and former Canadian Supreme Court Justice, the Hon. Frank Iacobucci. The Company is also being supported by its strategic advisor John Baird, former Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Senior Advisor to Bennett Jones LLP.
Bilateral investment treaties are agreements between countries to assist with the protection of investments. The Treaty establishes legal protections for investment between Turkey and the Netherlands. The Subsidiaries directly own and control the Company’s Turkish assets. The Subsidiaries invoking their rights pursuant to the Treaty does not mean that they relinquish their rights to the Turkish project, or otherwise cease the Turkish operations. The Company will continue to work towards a constructive resolution with the Republic of Turkey. If required, Alamos and the Subsidiaries are confident in the Subsidiaries’ ability to recover and enforce any favourable judgement pursuant to this Treaty, which will be rendered by three independent international arbitrators. Although timelines with respect to bilateral investment treaty arbitration can vary depending on procedural steps and delay tactics employed by nation states, it is estimated to have finality within five years. A portion of the cost of such an arbitral process is expected to be recovered as part of the arbitration process.
The failure by the Republic of Turkey to renew the mining licenses in the 18 months since their expiry, the failure of discussions with the Republic of Turkey to date to resolve the situation, and the resulting current decision to proceed with a bilateral investment treaty claim is an impairment trigger for accounting purposes. As a result, Alamos and the Subsidiaries expect to incur an after-tax impairment charge of approximately $215 million, which will be recorded in the second quarter financial statements. The non-cash charge reflects Alamos’ and the Subsidiaries’ entire net carrying value of the Turkish assets.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This News Release contains statements about expected or anticipated future events, financial results and litigation outcomes that are forward-looking in nature and, as a result, are subject to certain risk and uncertainties such as the inherently uncertain nature of potential and ongoing litigation proceedings including outcomes and costs, general economic, political, market and business conditions, regulatory processes and actions, new legislation, government actions or inactions, technical issues, potential delays or changes in plans, the occurrence of unexpected events and the Company’s capability to execute and implement its future plans.
The Republic of Turkey has recently experienced significant political, social, legal and regulatory instability. The impact of the change in political climate in Turkey in recent years is not fully known, but may include heightened control of the judiciary, bureaucracy, media and the private business sector. While the Company is taking the actions described in this News Release to mitigate the effects of the actions of the Turkish government in respect of the Company’s assets and gold mining projects in the Republic of Turkey, there can be no assurance that such mitigating actions will be effective or successful. If unsuccessful, the Company’s assets and gold mining projects in Turkey may be subject to resource nationalism and further expropriation; the Company may lose the full value of its assets and gold mining projects in Turkey and its ability to operate in Turkey. Even if successful, there is no certainty as to the quantum of any damages award, recovery of all, or any, legal costs. Any resumption of activities in Turkey, including renewal of the requisite operating licenses or permits, or even retaining control of its assets and gold mining projects in Turkey can only result from agreement with the Turkish government. The litigation described in this News Release may have an impact on foreign direct investment in the Republic of Turkey which may result in changes to the Turkish economy, including but not limited to high rates of inflation and fluctuation of the Turkish Lira which may also affect the Company’s relationship with the Turkish government, the Company’s ability to effectively operate in Turkey, and which may have a negative effect on overall anticipated project values.
Additional risk factors affecting Alamos and the Company’s ability to achieve expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this News Release and in general are set out in the Company’s latest 40F/Annual Information Form and Management’s Discussion and Analysis, each under the heading “Risk Factors” available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) or on EDGAR (www.sec.gov). The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Alamos Gold Acquires Trillium Mining Consolidating Large Land Package Adjacent to Island Gold Mine
December 17 2020 - 05:00PM
GlobeNewswire Inc.
Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed an agreement to acquire Trillium Mining Corp. (“Trillium”) for cash consideration of C$25 million. Trillium holds a large land package comprised of 5,418 hectares (“ha”) directly adjacent to, and along strike from the Island Gold Deposit within the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt.
The acquisition has significantly expanded the Company’s land package around the Island Gold mine to 14,929 ha, a 57% increase (see Figures 1 and 2). This newly acquired land includes significant exploration potential in proximity to existing high-grade Mineral Resources and regionally.
Near Island Gold mine exploration potential
Based on the current geological interpretation of the E1E structure which hosts the Island Gold Deposit, there is strong potential for the structure to extend onto the Trillium mineral tenure. This is further supported by recent drilling, including the best surface exploration hole to date, MH25-04 grading 28.97 grams per tonne of gold (“g/t Au”) (26.89 g/t cut) over 21.76 metres (“m”) true width, and MH25-03 grading 15.38 g/t Au (14.19 g/t cut) over 15.02 m (both previously reported).
These intercepts extended high-grade gold mineralization over significantly greater widths up to 100 m down-plunge from the nearest Inferred Mineral Resource block in Island East. The deposit remains open laterally and down-plunge (Figure 2).
Regional exploration potential
The Trillium land package also provides significant regional exploration potential, adding 10 kilometres of strike extent within the Goudreau Lake Deformation Zone (GLDZ), a primary control on gold mineralization within the Goudreau-Lochalsh segment of the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt. Alamos’ consolidated land package now covers a total of 17 kilometres of highly prospective structures and stratigraphy within the GLDZ. In addition to the Island Gold and Kremzar Deposits, this now includes two past producing gold mines (Cline and Edwards), as well as several historic high-grade gold showings, including the Markes and Vega Zones (Figure 1).
The larger consolidated land package will allow for Alamos to apply a systematic, district scale approach to exploration with targeting based on greenstone belt scale structural and stratigraphic controls on gold mineralization.
Included within the Trillium land package is the Highland Property which is in the final year of a five year option agreement. Following the exercise of the option, expected on February 26, 2021, Alamos will own 100% of the Highland Property.
“The acquisition of Trillium is consistent with our strategy of consolidating prospective land in proximity to our Island Gold mine where we have had tremendous exploration success over the last several years. Island Gold’s Mineral Reserve and Resource base has more than doubled since 2017. We see excellent potential for this growth to continue given ongoing exploration success. The acquisition of these claims ensure we maintain full ownership over future growth of the existing deposit and regionally where there have been a number of high-grade gold occurrences including two past producing mines,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.

blackcat thanks; Gold Wave Forecast – Is Gold Going To $3750 Or Higher?
December 5, 2020 Chris Vermeulen Technical Analyst, Trader, & Founder of Technical Traders Ltd
28
Watching Gold fall to recent lows over the past few weeks has been heartbreaking for Goldbugs. We know the real value of Precious Metals has continued to be under-appreciated over the past 24+ months – even though gold has rallied from $1165 to over $2085 (an incredible 79%). The recent 15% decline in gold has shaken some investors away from the longer-term opportunities, so we wanted to share our research and highlight some simple Elliot Wave structures with you.
My research team and I believe the recent downward price trend in gold is an ideal setup for an Intermediate Wave 4 pullback of a broader Wave 3 advance. In other words, we believe gold is in the midst of a broad advance cycle that may eventually push price levels to $5000 and above. But, we’ll focus on right now and what we believe is setting up from a Technical Analysis perspective.
The first thing to remember about Elliot Wave Analysis is that we must consider the broad market trends, the intermediate market trends, and the short term wave formations. With almost all types of Technical Analysis, we focus on different time perspectives of price trends and setups to help us better determine opportunities and outcomes.
Simple Elliot Wave StructureS Explained
For those of you unfamiliar with Elliot Wave theory and structure, please pay attention to the example chart below.
Generally, price advances or declines move in three basic shapes:
(1) A straight rally or decline with no visible price corrections within it
(2) An ABC wave formation – which consists of an Impulse wave, a moderate correction, then a final conclusion wave that reaches a new price high or low.
(3) An ABCDE wave formation – which consists of an ABC wave formation followed by an additional moderate correction wave, then another final conclusion wave that reaches a new price high or low.
In the first example, above in black, you can see a very simple detail of the overall (ideal) five total waves that make up every major Elliot Wave structure. In theory, every price advance or decline attempts to follow this structure, BUT, of course there are variances in this structure that often take place.
This is where the second example of a wave, the more detailed wave structure in blue and red, shows how Wave 1 was completed with an ABCDE wave structure and Wave 2 was completed with an ABC wave structure. As you continue to explore how these waves set up and interlink with one another, you can start to imagine how many variations there are within each wave structure. Every segment in each of these examples is considered a Wave Leg, thus every one of these could continue to generate multiple smaller wave structures as we dig deeper into the data.
Elliot Wave Analysis – quarterly gold chart
In this first Quarterly gold chart, below, we are focusing on the broader long-term trends in Gold. This chart spans nearly 30 years of gold price activity and the purpose of starting with this chart is to highlight the Elliot Wave setup showing the Wave 1, Wave 2, and new Wave 3 formations. Our research team believes the end of the DOT COM Equities appreciation cycle (near 2000) prompted a gold appreciation cycle that lasted until 2009~10. The Excess Phase (Blow Off Top) that took place between 2010 and 2013 represented the “unwinding” of the enthusiasm for gold at that time. Then, Gold entered a depreciation phase that lasted from 2009 to 2018~19. That is when we believe a new gold Appreciation phase begun and is still currently a driving force in the continued rally in Precious Metals.
If our research is correct, we are in the midst of a longer-term Wave 3 upside price trend that has recently completed an Intermediate Term Wave 4 downside correction. This suggests that we are now setting up for an Intermediate Term Wave 5 rally that may be equal to the previous Wave 3 rally (roughly $920). If this takes place, gold will likely end the next rally phase near $2700 – where it will enter a new corrective price wave formation – completing the initial Intermediate-term Wave 1 leg.
Confirmation of this setup would come when a solid price bottom sets up above $1725 in gold and when we see price levels rally above $1975 – establishing a recent new price high. As technical traders, we understand that Elliot Wave and Fibonacci Price theories inter-twine with one another. Elliot Wave theory is a process of attempting to mathematically illustrate Fibonacci Price theory at work – creating patterns in price. We believe there are underlying energy frequencies in each wave that prompt current and future price rotations and targets. We are still researching and learning about much of this technique as we further develop our Fibonacci Price Amplitude Arc theory and others.
ELLIOT WAVE ANALYSIS – WEEKLY GOLD CHART
The following Weekly gold chart highlights where we believe a bottom in price must setup to efficiently confirm the Wave 4 correction structure and begin to prompt a new Wave 5 advance to $2700 or higher. Any future breakdown in Gold price levels on this chart below $1715.50 would potentially negate the Wave 4 structure and set up a potentially deeper price correction phase (possibly the end of the longer-term Wave 3 setting up for a deeper corrective wave). As long as gold prices bottom and begin to rally anywhere above the $1715.50 level, we believe the Wave 4 corrective wave is validated – prompting the start of a new Wave 5 advance.
Be sure to sign up for our free market trend analysis and signals now so you don’t miss our next special report!
Given the foregoing, it is important that we watch that $1715.50 level as gold prices continue to hammer out a potential bottom and this broad Elliot Wave pattern continues to unfold. If our research is accurate, then we will see a big upside price trend begin somewhere near December 7, 2020. Our Fibonacci Price Amplitude Arcs (visible on this Weekly chart) show where we believe energy frequencies align (see the starting point of the GREEN ARROW). These alignment areas in price energy typically result in potentially strong price impulse moves.
Any bottom forming near the MAGENTA drawn levels, before the GREEN & BLUE energy frequencies would align with our thinking that gold has retraced nearly 50% of the recent trend (from the March 2020 COVID lows to the recent highs) and therefore may be setting up for a Wave 5 advance targeting $2700 or higher.
As exciting as this may seem, please remember this is a very long-term forecast for gold. This is not something that will happen in a few days or weeks – this trend will likely take place over weeks, months, and years. Still, if you consider the implications to the global market and potential trends, then you will begin to understand that a rally in gold to levels above $2500 suggests that certain pressures and uncertainties will continue to unfold over the next 24+ months in the US and global markets. Gold rallies when fear and uncertainty are present in the markets.
In closing, it may be a very good Christmas rally in gold to close out the end of 2020. There will be lots of great trading opportunities in gold over the next few years as the price of gold works through the different waves discussed above.

Alexander Gold Project
Red Lake, Ontario
is claimed by Goldcorp to be
the richest gold mine in the world
The Alexander Property is situated within 2 kilometres of more than
28 million ounces of gold from past production and current resources
and within 400 metres of Goldcorp’s Far East Zone gold discovery.
The Alexander Property is of ample size to accommodate a high-grade
gold deposit at depth as repetition of the adjacent deposits at
Goldcorp’s Red Lake gold mine.
The stratigraphy under the property remains essentially untested
below 700 metres depth.
The richest gold bearing ore zones exist below a vertical depth of
1,300 metres in the High Grade Zone at
the Goldcorp Red Lake gold mine which is less
than 800 metres from the property boundary.
Conquest's target on the Alexander claims is an extension,
or repetition, of the mineralization at the Red Lake mine.
The Red Lake mine is claimed by Goldcorp to be
the richest gold mine in the world with
approximately 28,000,000 ounces of historic
production and current reserves.
https://www.conquestresources.com/project/alexander-gold/
Location and Property Description
Conquest's Alexander Property comprises 27 patented claims
covering 448 hectares (1,107 acres) adjoining
Goldcorp's Red Lake mine.
Conquest’s land is situated just beyond the security gate at
Goldcorp’s Red Lake gold mine and is almost completely
surrounded by Goldcorp's Red Lake mine property.
The Alexander claim holdings are patented and do not
require any annual minimum expenditures, other than
nominal property taxes.

Alamos Gold Announces Repurchase of 3% NSR Royalty on Island Gold Mine and Corresponding Reduction in 2020 Cost Guidance
T.AGI | 10 hours ago
TORONTO, March 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire and cancel a 3% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty payable on production from the Island Gold mine (the “Royalty”) for total cash consideration of C$75 million ($54 million).
The Royalty was acquired from a privately held company and is payable on gold production within four patented claims (the “Subject Claims”) that comprise the majority of currently defined Mineral Reserves and Resources within the Island Gold deposit.
The acquisition and elimination of the royalty will immediately reduce operating costs and increase operating cash flow while providing increased exposure to Island Gold’s significant exploration potential.
Transaction highlights:
Acquisition and cancellation of the Royalty on all future gold production from the Subject Claims that comprise the majority of the Island Gold deposit. As of December 31, 2019, the Subject Claims contained:
• 0.9 million ounces of Mineral Reserves, representing 71% of Island Gold’s total Mineral Reserves, and
• 1.1 million ounces of Inferred Mineral Resources (see Table 1)
$40 per ounce, or 7%, decrease in Island Gold’s 2020 total cash cost guidance to between $480 and $520 per ounce and $40 per ounce decrease in mine-site all-in sustaining cost guidance to between $740 and $780 per ounce
Increased exposure to Island Gold’s substantial exploration potential with combined Mineral Reserves and Resources having doubled to 2.0 million ounces within the Subject Claims since the end of 2016, including:
• 0.5 million ounce increase in Mineral Reserves to 0.9 million ounces, net of 0.3 million ounces of mining depletion. This reflects the discovery of new Mineral Reserves and strong conversion rate of Inferred Mineral Resources to Reserves of 83% since the end of 2016, and
• 0.5 million ounce increase in Inferred Mineral Resources to 1.1 million ounces
Increased exposure to higher gold prices. At spot gold prices of approximately $1,530 per ounce, Alamos will save $46 per ounce on production from the Subject Claims. In 2019, royalty payments to the Subject Claims totalled C$8 million
Reduction in effective NSR royalty rate on Island Gold’s Mineral Reserves to 2.2% from approximately 4.4%
“The acquisition of the royalty further reduces costs at what is already a low-cost operation while also increasing our exposure to the tremendous exploration upside. Since we acquired Island Gold in 2017, the Mineral Reserve and Resource base has doubled with the deposit approaching four million ounces across all categories. With the deposit open laterally and down-plunge across several areas of focus, we see excellent potential for this growth to continue at a greatly reduced royalty on future production,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Island Gold and Consolidated 2020 Cost Guidance Reduced with Elimination of Royalty
Mineral Reserves within the Subject Claims currently account for 71% of total Mineral Reserves at Island Gold. In 2020, over 90% of Island Gold’s gold production is expected to come from within the Subject Claims. With the elimination of the Royalty and associated cost savings, the Company has lowered its 2020 total cash cost and mine-site all-in sustaining cost guidance by $40 per ounce. On a consolidated basis, total cash cost and all-in sustaining cost guidance has also been reduced by $13 per ounce as detailed below.
2020 Initial Guidance 2020 Revised Guidance
Island Gold
Gold Production 000 oz 130-145 130-145
Cost of Sales(1) $/oz $880 $840
Total Cash Costs(2) $/oz $520-560 $480-520
Mine-site AISC(2) $/oz $780-820 $740-780
Consolidated – Alamos Gold
Gold Production 000 oz 425-465 425-465
Cost of Sales(1) $/oz $1,130 $1,117
Total Cash Costs(2) $/oz $770-810 $757-797
Mine-site AISC(2) $/oz $1,020-1,060 $1,007-1,047
(1) Cost of sales includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense, and is calculated based on the mid-point of total cash cost guidance.
(2) Refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP" disclosure at the end of this press release and the Q4 2019 MD&A for a description and calculation of these measures.

Cautionary Note
This news release includes certain statements that constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws ("forward-looking statements"). All statements in this news release, other than statements of historical fact, which address events, results, outcomes or developments that Alamos expects to occur are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally, but not always, identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “continue”, "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", “guidance” or “potential” or variations of such words and phrases and similar expressions or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved or the negative connotation of such terms. In particular, this news release contains forward-looking statements with respect to the anticipated benefits of the acquisition and cancellation of the Royalty including associated cost savings.
Alamos cautions readers not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements which are not guarantees of future events as a number of factors could cause results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, outlooks, expectations, goals, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to: fluctuations of the price of gold and foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar); changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; changes to production estimates (which assume accuracy of projected ore grade, mining rates, recovery timing and recovery rate estimates and may be impacted by unscheduled maintenance, labour and contractor availability and other operating or technical difficulties); disruptions affecting operations; risks related to obtaining and maintaining necessary permits, licenses and authorizations required to carry out planned exploration or development work; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined;availability of and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labour; contests over title to properties; employee and community relations; changes in national and local government legislation (including tax legislation), controls or regulations and risk of loss due to sabotage and civil disturbances.
For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, see the Company’s latest 40-F/Annual Information Form and MD&A, each under the heading “Risk Factors”, available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com or on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors – Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates
All Mineral Resource and Reserve estimates included in this news release or documents referenced in this news release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. The terms "Mineral Reserve", "Proven Mineral Reserve" and "Probable Mineral Reserve" are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards. These definitions differ materially from the definitions in the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) Industry Guide 7 ("SEC Industry Guide 7") under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Exchange Act. Under SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a "final" or "bankable" feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. The terms "Mineral Resource", "Measured Mineral Resource", "Indicated Mineral Resource" and "Inferred Mineral Resource" are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards; however, these terms are not defined terms under SEC Industry Guide 7 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into Mineral Reserves. "Inferred Mineral Resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, except in very limited circumstances. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of "contained ounces" in a Mineral Resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute "reserves" by SEC standards as in place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures.
The SEC has adopted final rules, effective February 25, 2019, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act (the “SEC Modernization Rules”). The SEC Modernization Rules replace the historical property disclosure requirements included in SEC Industry Guide 7. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “proven mineral reserves” and “probable mineral reserves” to be substantially similar to international standards. The SEC Modernization Rules will become mandatory for U.S. reporting companies beginning with the first fiscal year commencing on or after January 1, 2021.

Alamos Gold Declares Quarterly Dividend and Adopts Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
T.AGI |
TORONTO, March 03, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of US$0.015 per common share and introduced a Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan (“DRIP”).
Quarterly Dividend Increased 50%
As announced in December 2019, the Company has increased its quarterly dividend by 50% to an annual rate of US$0.06 per common share. The increase is a reflection of the Company’s strong free cash flow outlook with the lower mine expansion at Young-Davidson on track to be completed in June 2020. This represents the Company’s 11th consecutive year of paying a dividend during which time the Company has returned $161 million to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks.
The dividend is payable on March 31, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 17, 2020. This dividend qualifies as an “eligible dividend” for Canadian income tax purposes. For shareholders that elect to participate in the DRIP as outlined below, common shares granted as part of the March 31, 2020 dividend will be issued from treasury at a 2% discount to the prevailing market price.
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
The Company has implemented a dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan. This will give shareholders the option of increasing their investment in Alamos, at a discount to the prevailing market price and without incurring any transaction costs, by electing to receive common shares in place of cash dividends.
Shareholders who elect to participate in the DRIP will also have the option of acquiring additional common shares in the Company (subject to limitations) at a discount to the prevailing market price, and without incurring additional transaction costs.
The Company has the discretion to elect to issue such common shares at up to a 5% discount to the prevailing market price from treasury, or purchase the common shares on the open market including the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, and will advise as such with each dividend declaration.
Enrollment in the DRIP is optional. Further information on the plan, including the forms needed to enroll are available on the Company’s website at http://www.alamosgold.com/investors/Dividend-Reinvestment-Plan. In order to be eligible to participate in the March 31, 2020 dividend, enrollment must be completed by 4:00 pm EST on the fifth business day prior to the March 17, 2020 dividend record date.
