NEWS RELEASE
ALTO STAKES CLAIMS ON TREND FROM CENTERRA/PREMIER GOLD JV
BROOKBANK GOLD DEPOSIT, BEARDMORE, ONTARIO
Vancouver, B.C., May 2, 2018 . Alto Ventures Ltd. ( ATV: TSX -V) is pleased to announce the
acquisition through staking of 63 claim units totaling 1,300 hectares located in the Beardmore-Geraldton
gold belt, approximately 25 km east from Beardmore and 55 km west from Geraldton (the “Brookbank
East Project”).
The Brookbank East property lies along an easterly trend of numerous gold occurrences, including the
Brookbank Gold Deposit held in 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 2.6 4 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). The Brookbank Gold Deposit is located at or
near the sheared contacts between mafic volcanic rocks and metasediments, including a large component
of polymictic conglomerates. Gold mineralization occurs with multiple quartz -carbonate stringers,
veinlets and/or stockworks that give rise to broad zones of mineralization 20 to 50 m wide closer to
surface and continuing to 700 m depths.
Brookbank East is located approximately 15 km east of the Brookbank Gold Deposit and is underlain by
easterly trending mafic volcanic rocks in contact with a sequence of polymictic conglomerates from 300
m to 700 m thick. Results from some of the historical work include 10 g/t Au over 0.91 m intersected in
a 1992 drill hole at the southeast end of the Broo kbank East property. Grab samples up to 7.68 g/t Au
were obtained in 1988 from altered quartz veins in historical trenches near the centre of the property .
Some of these trench areas were drilled in 1998 . Records from the diamond drilling in the government
assessment files indicate that favourable geology and alteration similar to the Brookbank Gold Deposit
were intersected but no sampling was carried out at the time of drilling.
"We are very pleased to continue expanding our portfolio of highly prospecti ve gold properties in the
Beardmore-Geraldton gold belt" stated Rick Mazur, Alto Ventures CEO and Director. "Brookbank East
will be prospected this summer after we start our summer exploration program at Miner Lake. We expect
to start geological and structural mapping at Miner Lake in mid -May with diamond drilling planned in
August or early September after drill targets have been prioritized".
