Alto Ventures Provides Update on Oxford Lake Project,

Manitoba

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 22, 2017) - Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSXV:

ATV

) has decided, after

careful consideration, not to proceed indefinitely with an exploration program at Oxford Lake in Manitoba. This decision was

made in light of recent changes in position of the Bunibonibee Cree Nation toward the proposed exploration, and related

challenges the company faced in obtaining clear and timely information regarding the Government of Manitoba's position on

Aboriginal consultation and permitting matters. Alto has in past had a constructive relationship with the Bunibonibee Cree Nation

and had planned to use a number of its members and companies for a range of services including line cutting, ground

geophysics, ice road maintenance, camp person, cook and fuel from the community.

Alto remains open to working with the Bunibonibee Cree Nation to resolve the issues outstanding to continue to advance the

Oxford Lake Project in the future.

For the foreseeable future, Alto will refocus its exploration efforts to the Miner Lake and Mud

Lake Projects in northwestern Ontario and the Destiny Project in Quebec.
