VANCOUVER, Nov. 10 /CNW/ - Amerigo Resources Ltd. ("Amerigo", TSX:ARG)
announced today its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid through
the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange. Under this issuer bid, Amerigo's
board of directors has authorized the acquisition of 2,612,815 of Amerigo's
common shares during the one year period commencing on November 14, 2006 and
ending on November 13, 2007.
As of November 10, 2006 Amerigo had 93,969,744 common shares issued and
outstanding. The shares that may be repurchased under this issuer bid
represent 3% of Amerigo's public float, which is estimated to be 87,093,841
common shares.
The actual number of shares that may be purchased during the one year
period and the time of such purchases will be determined by Amerigo. All
shares purchased under the issuer bid will be cancelled. During the 12 month
period prior to the date of this press release, Amerigo purchased 186,100 of
its common shares pursuant to the Normal Course Issuer Bid in place during the
period from November 14, 2005 to November 13, 2006.

market price of its common shares does not reflect the underlying value of
Amerigo.
