Alio Gold Inc. provided the results of the second and third drill hole from its surface drill program at its 100% owned Ana Paula project in Guerrero, Mexico. The 3,800 metre surface diamond drill program was initiated in January 2018 and consists of six drill holes of 600 to 700 metres each targeting the complex breccia extension below the proposed open-pit. Both the second hole (AP-18-284) and third hole (AP-18-285) returned positive results from the near surface hydrothermal breccia south of the proposed pit and on the southern edge of the alteration halo. Both holes also intersected the complex breccia below the proposed pit. The Company has initiated an extensive exploration program at Ana Paula which includes in addition to the surface drill program: Exploration drilling from an underground decline targeting an extension to the high-grade breccia below the proposed open pit and a skarn target below the breccia. Surface drilling to test a high priority target that is 100 metres north of the proposed open pit. Regional exploration work on the 56,000 hectare land package including an airborne magnetic survey targeting further breccia or skarn targets. The current program from surface continues to advance with 3,102 metres of the proposed 3,800 metres program drilled to date. The fourth and fifth hole have been completed and the last hole in the program is underway.
