Each whole warrant will allow the bearer to purchase one common share at a price of $8.00 before July 20, 2018. The underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for additional gross proceeds of C$387,500. Alio is working on a feasibility study to be completed in Q1 2018. An open pit and conventional gravity-CIL mill is planned. Proven and probable reserves stand at 13.4 million tonnes grading 2.36 g/t gold containing 1.0 million oz. Gold production will average 116,000 oz. annually. The capital cost of development is estimated to be US$150.6 million. Read about the history of the historic Ana Paula mine at www.AlioGold.com.
