Minera Alamos Inc.
(TSXV: MAI) (the
"
Company
" or "
Minera Alamos
") is pleased to announce the appointment of Carolina Salas as Vice President - Technical
Services.
Ms. Salas, who has worked with the Company's senior management group at previous Mexican gold operations, will
oversee final preparations related to the construction of commercial scale gold production facilities at the Santana Project
("
Santana
") in Sonora.
Her addition will add further project development and operations expertise to an already strong in-
country team with a proven track record successfully developing low capex gold projects.
"We are excited to welcome Carolina back to our team," said Darren Koningen, CEO of Minera Alamos.
"Her broad project
experience at all stages of project advancement from initial process development through construction and into final operations
will prove invaluable as we make our final plans to move the Company's Santana and La Fortuna gold projects into commercial
production.
Over the early part of this year as the Company awaits some final project permit documentation we have been
actively involved with making final construction preparations.
In addition, the next phase of exploration plans are now complete
and we are excited to demonstrate the team's belief in the scale of overall mineralization at Santana throughout the remainder of
the year. The ability to bring onboard someone with the experience and capabilities of Carolina to assist with our efforts is a
huge opportunity for the Company and further confirmation of the potential for Minera's existing asset base to deliver significant
organic production growth in the years ahead."
Carolina Salas has a Master's Degree in Metallurgical Science from the University of Sonora.
She is currently based in
Hermosillo, Sonora but will be dividing her time as required between the Company's 100%-owned projects in Sonora and
Durango.
Ms. Salas brings almost 15 years of mining industry experience in increasingly senior engineering and management
roles.
Immediately prior to joining Minera Alamos she was a senior account manager in Mexico for Outotec, one of the world's
largest mining process equipment suppliers and focussed primarily on gold and copper projects.
Prior to that her experience
included roles at production operations with Minera Columbia de Mexico and Peñoles.
As Process Manager at the Lluvia de
Oro gold heap leach project in Sonora, Mexico Ms. Salas was responsible for the effective oversight of all gold processing and
recovery facilities as well metallurgical testwork programs and the design/construction of new processing systems.
