Alio Gold (TSX:ALO) (NYSE AMERICAN:ALO) (“Alio Gold” or the “Company”), is pleased to provide the results of the first drill hole from its surface drill program at its 100% owned Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico. The 3,800 metre surface diamond drill program was initiated in January 2018 and consists of six drill holes of 600 to 700 metres each targeting the complex breccia extension below the proposed open-pit.

The first hole (AP-18-283) returned positive results from the near surface hydrothermal breccia south of the proposed pit and on the southern edge of the alteration halo. This first hole intersected the western edge of the complex breccia.

Greg McCunn, Chief Executive Officer, said:

“The results of our first drill hole targeting the high-grade breccia below the proposed pit validate our decision to commence the surface drill program ahead of drilling from the underground decline. The results will allow us to more fully understand the geometry of the complex breccia and the nature and extent of the mineralization ahead of drilling from the underground decline which is expected in Q3 2018.

An added objective of our program was to test a lower-grade hydrothermal breccia structure lying south of the proposed pit which have shown positive results from this initial hole. The lower-grade hydrothermal breccia lies outside of the proposed PFS pit outline.”
