Alamos Gold Reports Record Third Quarter 2017 Production

12.10.2017  |  Marketwired

Record 55,800 ounces Produced at Young-Davidson


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Oct 12, 2017) - Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI) (NYSE:AGI) ("Alamos" or the "Company") today reported record third quarter 2017 gold production of 107,000 ounces. Quarterly revenues totaled $129 million from the sale of 100,551 ounces of gold at an average realized price of $1,281 per ounce.

"Operationally we delivered a strong third quarter with record production and significant milestones achieved at both our key operations. This included the completion of the MCM waste pass at Young-Davidson, contributing to higher underground mining rates in September, and initial production from our La Yaqui mine in the Mulatos district. We expect both will be key drivers of strong free cash flow growth in the fourth quarter and we remain well positioned to achieve full year guidance," said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
