Osisko purchased 22.0 million common shares for $3.3 million. In June 2017, Alamos closed a $5.4 million private placement with which to fund work at La Fortuna. The La Fortuna site is an intermittent former producer. The current measured and indicated resource at a 0.5 g/t cut-off is estimated to be 4.8 million tonnes grading 1.99 g/t gold and containing 308,100 oz.
