NEWS RELEASE
ALTO COMMENCES SUMMER EXPLORATION ON THE MINER LAKE AND
BROOKBANK EAST PROJECTS, BEARDMORE, ONTARIO
Vancouver, B.C., July 11, 2018. Alto Ventures Ltd. (ATV: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that summer
exploration worked has started on the Miner Lake and Brookbank East properties in the Beardmore -
Geraldton gold camp in Ontario . Surface exploration at Miner Lake includes geological mapping,
detailed structural mapping , prospecting, sampling, and ground VLF surveying in preparation for
diamond drilling. A diamond drilling program is anticipated to start in September, 2018.
Miner Lake
Detailed structural mapping of the main mineralized trend and ground VLF consisting of five lines,
totaling 10 km of surveying have already been completed. Alto’s previous work at Miner Lake included
nine diamond drill holes in 2011; gold was intersected in each of the holes with one hole cutting a wide
zone of 39.2 m averaging 0.6 g/t gold including 4.24 g/t gold over 1.5 m (see Alto news release dated
October 18, 2011). Assay results from surface saw cut channel samples include 6.79 g/t gold across 1.0
m; 4.14 g/t gold across 1.4 m; and 1.78 g/t gold and 0.11% copper across 19 m. This last interval contains
two higher grade sections of 3.36 g/t gold and 0.24% copper across 5.0 m and another section of 6.29
g/t gold and 0.08% copper across 2.0 m.
Brookbank East
The property was staked by Alto in April, 2018. Surface exploration work at the Brookbank East
property will cons ist initially of geological mapping and prospecting. Records in the government
assessment files from the surface geological work and diamond drilling indicate that favourable geology
and alteration are similar to the Brookbank Gold Deposit, a 50/50 joint venture between Centerra Gold
and Premier Gold.
The Brookbank Deposit is reported to include open -pit Measured and Indicated Resources of 2.64
million tonnes averaging 2.02 g/t Au and containing 172,000 ounces. Underground resources are
reported to include Measured and Indicated Resources of 1.86 million tonnes averaging 7.21 g/t Au and
containing 430,000 ounces of gold (www.premiergoldmines.com).
Results from some of the historical work on Alto’s Brookbank East property include 10 g/t Au over 0.91
m intersected in a 1992 drill hole at the southeast end of the property. Grab samples up to 7.68 g/t Au
were reported in 1988 from altered quartz veins in historical trenches near the centre of the property.
