Alto Ventures Completes Drilling ON Gefa Property Adjacent to Pikoo Diamond Discovery, Saskatchewan
NEWS RELEASE
ALTO VENTURES COMPLETES DRILLING ON GEFA PROPERTY ADJACENT TO
PIKOO DIAMOND DISCOVERY, SASKATCHEWAN
Vancouver, B.C., February 9, 2017. Alto Ventures Ltd. (ATV: TSX-V) (“Alto”) has completed a
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program on the GEFA claims immediately adjacent to the Pikoo
diamond discovery. The program tested four high priority diamond targets identified from Alto's 2015
high resolution aeromagnetic survey that are interpreted to be consistent with kimberlite intrusions.
Some of the aeromagnetic targets are up-ice from Kimberlite Indicator Mineral (KIM) dispersion trains
delineated during the 2014 glacial till sampling program.
Three of the four aeromagnetic targets are related to locally increased magnetite concentrations in
metasedimentary gneiss. The fourth target is related to an ultramafic intrusive body surrounded by
quartz-feldspar-biotite gneiss. The program did not locate any kimberlites and the source rocks to the
KIM dispersion train remain unknown. There are numerous other high priority aeromagnetic targets
on the GEFA property that are worthy of follow-up. Further work will require detailed glacial till
sampling for KIMs to prioritize the aeromagnetic targets prior to drilling.
Alto is working to earn a 60% interest in the 13,150 ha property by completing an aggregate $750,000
in exploration work and making cash payments totaling $60,000 before July 20, 2017.
Alto’s President, Mike Koziol, P. Geo. is a qualified person under the provisions of National
Instrument 43-101 and approves the technical data and conclusions in this news release.
