Alamos Gold Inc. ("Alamos" or the "Company") today announced the purchase of 25,300,000 common shares (the "Shares") of Corex Gold Corp. ("Corex"), representing approximately 19.07% of the outstanding common shares of Corex (the "Transaction"). The Shares are being acquired by Alamos by way of private placement at a price of C$0.10 per Share.
Alamos carried out the Transaction for investment purposes and may increase or decrease its investment based on market conditions.
