Escondida - El Victor Mineralized Trend Extended into San Carlos Area, Mulatos Deposit, Mexico

Alamos Gold Inc. (Alamos) (TSX: AGI) announces resultsof a recently completed drilling program in the San Carlos area, whichhas delineated an extensive area of blind mineralization extending aminimum of 600 meters to the northeast from the El Victor projectarea. Significant gold-bearing intervals include 35.0 m of 2.99 g/t in06SC008 and 48.8m of 4.69 g/t in 06SC018, as well as more restrictedhigh-grade intercepts of 4.6m of 36.11 g/t in 06SC010. Drill holecomposite intervals are summarized below:

The San Carlos area was selected as a high-priority explorationtarget due to having similar geologic characteristics to the EscondidaHanging Wall Zone. It is located along the same 2-km regionalstructural trend controlling the gold occurrences from Mina Vieja toEl Victor. It also has a similar stratigraphic setting of animpermeable horizon overlying a highly favorable unit, which was thegold trapping mechanism at the Escondida Hanging Wall Zone. San Carloshas been sporadically mined at a small scale by locals and was awell-known source for spectacular high-grade gold specimens.Historical San Carlos underground channel sampling records (1960) shownarrow high-grade gold intervals, including 2.13 m of 253 g/t Au and1.9m of 259 g/t Au. Widely spaced Kennecott drilling at San Carlos inearly 90's encountered both low grade and high-grade gold intercepts,but no further drilling has been completed since then. The Alamos GoldPhase I drilling program was designed to test projections ofidentified high-grade structures and associated hanging wall andfootwall mineralization, particularly where favorable stratigraphy wasprojected, offset previous high-grade Kennecott intercepts, and testfor lower-grade bulk-tonnage stratiform mineralization.

The Phase I drilling program consisted of 33 surface reversecirculation holes (6303 meters) and four underground core holes(353.3m). Two surface reverse-circulation (RC) and one underground rigwere allocated to the project in an attempt to complete as muchdrilling as possible before rising monsoon season river levels blockedaccess. Drill holes to date have outlined an extensive area of thickintensely silicified hydrothermal breccias concealed by post-mineralvolcanic cover. The silicic alteration occurs over an area greaterthan 300m wide, 400m along strike, and over 150m thick. Sixteen holeswere terminated in strong silicic alteration, due to caving conditionsand/or excessive water at depth. The system is open to the east andnorth with the highest grade-thickness intercepts located at theextreme northeastern edge of the drilled area. Highest-grademineralization occurs at the near at the top of the stratiform silicicalteration, a similar relationship to the Escondida high-gradeoccurrence. Drill hole intercepts are believed to approximate truewidths based on sectional work indicating stratigraphic-hostedmineralization, but need additional drilling to confirm zone geometry.High-grade intercepts were also encountered, including local visiblegold, but they appear narrower and more structurally confined than theEscondida Hanging Wall Zone. Higher-grade intercepts were generallyuniform in the 10-20-g/t range. All assay results to date, however,are fire assay with atomic adsorption finish, which tend underestimategrade in a coarse gold situation. Higher-grade intervals will bere-run by screen fire assay to analyze for coarse gold.

The San Carlos area appears to be a separate mineralization centerdue to the generally higher grades in comparison with El Victor,multi-stage alteration and mineralization events, and the abundance oflate mafic dikes spatially related to mineralization. Hydrothermalbreccias and the dikes are rare to absent in the Mulatos deposit. Thefeeder zone of the multi-stage breccias has not yet been located.Classic multi-stage epithermal textures suggest further potential forhigh-grade mineralization in the system.

Additional drill holes are strongly warranted, but will need towait until river levels drop in October or November. The San Carlosproject area will mostly likely be the next project added to theresource expansion project pipeline. The success of the San Carlosproject is believed to increase the likelihood of finding additionalhigh-grade mineralization in the Gap area, where a similar structuraland stratigraphic setting exists in a largely untested area ofmineralization. A 7500 hectare concession was also recently added tothe land position to cover potential extensions of mineralized trend,as well as two other areas of alteration.

The San Carlos exploration program is being carried out under thedirection of Ken Balleweg, P. Geol, BSc. Geological Engineering, M.S.Geology, Alamos' Vice President of Exploration and the QualifiedPerson as defined by National Instrument 43-101 of the CanadianSecurities Administrators. Drilling method was reverse circulationusing a center return bit and 1.5 meter sample intervals. Strictsampling and QA/QC protocol are followed, including the insertion ofstandards and blanks on a regular basis. Samples are sent to ALSChemex Inc. in Hermosillo, Mexico for sample preparation and then toVancouver, British Columbia for analysis. Analytical method is fireassay with atomic adsorption finish and gravimetric finish forindividual samples with a gold concentration greater than 3.0 g/t. A0.5g/t cut-off grade was used for calculation of composite intervals,with only a single 1.5m interval of sub-0.5 g/t material allowedwithin a composite interval.
