(TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today reported results of the Expansion Study (“IGD Expansion”) completed on the Island Gold District operation, located in Ontario, Canada. Compared to the Base Case Life of Mine Plan (“Base Case LOM”) released in June 2025, the IGD Expansion incorporates a 30% increase in Mineral Reserves, and an expansion of the Magino mill to 20,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) supporting increased processing rates of 3,000 tpd of high-grade underground ore, and 17,000 tpd from the open pit. This is expected to drive production higher and create one of the largest, longest life, and most profitable gold operations in Canada. “The evolution and growth of Island Gold continues with another substantial increase in Mineral Reserves supporting another high-return expansion of the operation. The IGD Expansion is starting to unlock the true potential of the Island Gold District with the increase in mining rates expected to drive production to more than 530,000 ounces per year at among the lowest costs in the industry. The IGD Expansion has driven the value of the operation to over $12 billion at gold prices of $4,500 per ounce, up from a combined acquisition cost for Island Gold and Magino of $1.4 billion. Given our significant ongoing exploration success within the main Island Gold structure and spectacular high-grade results we are seeing within the nearby Cline-Pick targets, we are confident there is further growth and upside to come,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer. IGD Expansion Study Highlights: Increased production: average annual production of 534,000 ounces over 10 years post expansion (2028+), a 27% increase from the Base Case LOM, and 113% increase from 2025 Average annual production of 490,000 ounces over 15 years during which both the open pit and underground are operating (based on Mineral Reserves only) Low-cost structure: averag...
