quality Mexican assets, including the 100%-owned Santana open-pit, heap-leach mine in Sonora that is
currently going through the start-up of operations at the new Nicho Main deposit. The 100%-owned Cerro

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This press release includes certain "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable
Canadian securities legislation. All information herein, other than information of historical fact, constitutes
forward-looking information. Forward-looking information is frequently, but not always, identified by
words such as "expects", "anticipates", "believes", "intends", "estimates", "potential", "possible", and
similar expressions, or statements that events, conditions, or results "will", "may", "could", or "should"
occur or be achieved. This information is based on information currently available to Minera Alamos and
Minera Alamos provides no assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations.
Forward-looking information in this press release includes, but is not limited to: statements with respect
to the proposed use of proceeds of the Offering; the timing and ability of the Company to satisfy the
customary listing conditions of, and receive final acceptance of the Offering from, the TSX Venture
Exchange (if at all); statements concerning future exploration plans at the Company's mineral projects;
the Company's proposed business strategy; and the development and condition of the Company's
mining assets; the completion of the Acquisition; the consideration payable under the Acquisition; the
expected closing dates of the Acquisition; the timing and ability of the Company to complete the
Acquisition and satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions (if at all); the timing and ability of the Company to
obtain all necessary approvals in respect of the Acquisition; the appointment of Jason Kosec to the
chairmanship of the Company; and future production, operations and growth and a result of the
Acquisition.
The forward-looking information is based on assumptions and addresses future events and conditions
that, by their very nature involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from
those currently anticipated in forward-looking information for many reasons. Minera Alamos' financial
condition and prospects could differ materially from those currently anticipated in forward-looking
information for many reasons such as: an inability to complete the Acquisition; an inability to receive
requisite permits for mine operation, exploration or expansion; an inability to finance and/or complete
updated resource and reserve estimates and technical reports which support the technical and
economic viability of mineral production; changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the
financial markets; changes in demand and prices for minerals; litigation, legislative, environmental and
other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational
difficulties encountered in connection with Minera Alamos' activities; and other matters discussed in this
press release and in filings made with securities regulators. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that
may affect any of Minera Alamos' forward- looking information. These and other factors should be
considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Minera Alamos' forward-looking
information. Minera Alamos does not undertake to update any forward-looking information that may be
made from time to time by Minera Alamos or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable
securities laws.
The Company does not have a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and
technical viability for the Santana project, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of
achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, including increased
risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a
much higher risk of economic and technical failure.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THIS RELEASE.
