Minera Alamos Inc. (“Minera” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MAI) is pleased to announce the positive results of an independent Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for its Cerro de Oro Project (the “Project”) in Zacatecas The PEA was prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) by Scott Zelligan A Technical Report with the details of the PEA will be filed on SEDAR under the Company’s profile within 45 days of the date of this news release (Note to reader: Unless stated all currency references are in US dollars) “Leaning on our team’s collective experience in mine building in Mexico with capital and operating costs informed by the recent construction and ramp up of the Santana gold mine the Cerro de Oro PEA is a game changer for Minera as we strive to reach our initial target of a +100,000 oz/y gold producer,” commented Doug Ramshaw “Given the rampant inflationary pressures across the industry it is a testament to Minera’s smart and nimble business model that a new mine could be developed at Cerro de Oro for the low capital intensity presented in the PEA.” Readers are cautioned that the PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred resources that are considered too speculative to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves There is no certainty that the PEA results will be realized  Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability Additional work is needed to upgrade these mineral resources to mineral reserves Total pre-production capital costs at the Cerro de Oro Project are estimated at $28.1 million Sustaining capital costs over the LOM are estimated at $14.7 million for a total Project capital cost of $42.8 million The pre-production capital cost estimate includes the construction of a stand-alone gold recovery (to carbon) facility Phase 1 of the heap leach pad construction and all necessary site infrastructure to bring the mine into production Preliminary site layouts for the project were completed and included suitable areas for life of mine leach pad areas required pond volumes and other infrastructure items in addition to the process plant and crushing operations Cost estimates are primarily based on cost factors/data obtained from the company’s recent project construction experience in Mexico including the Santana gold project completed in 2021 To reduce initial capital requirements all open pit mining operations and associated capital costs are the responsibility of an independent mining contractor the company plans to utilize (with some modifications) an existing crushing plant purchased previously and personnel will stay in the local municipality eliminating the requirement for any significant mine site camp facilities The total unit operating cost for the Project is estimated at US$ 6.66/t of mineralised material (including general and administrative costs – “G&A”)   Operating costs were developed based on first principles where possible including estimated staffing levels reagent consumptions and power requirements are based on data from current Minera Alamos facilities (Santana gold project) and other similar heap leach operations in Mexico Power requirements for the process operation (excluding crushing) were estimated based on operating equipment motor sizes and plant availability and costs assume diesel generation with a delivered diesel fuel cost of US$1.10/litre (approx Power for the crushing system is assumed to be taken from the nearby power grid at a price of US$ 0.13/kWh An overall contingency of 20% was applied to the operating cost totals to account for additional cost items such as outside contractors All mine operating activities are assumed to be the responsibility of a third-party mining contractor blasting and transportation of the waste/ore Costs for the Company mine services group were prepared separately and included LOM operating costs are summarized in Table 3 below Actual annual costs in the economic models for the project will vary based on the proposed annual mine schedule and utilize the unit costs detailed below As part of the PEA an updated Cerro de Oro project Mineral Resource Estimate was completed to reflect a higher gold price of US$1,700/oz which is more reflective of the three-year trailing average price This reflects a change in the “reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction” due to the current market conditions Other than the change to the gold price assumption the remainder of the estimate methodology remain identical to that utilized in the previous NI 43-101 report “Mineral Resource Estimate for the Cerro de Oro Project” by Scott Zelligan The block model was constrained using an economic pit shell at the updated gold price resulting in the new and current Mineral Resource estimate as presented in Table 4 The Mineral Resource estimate has been wholly classified as Inferred The estimate represents the oxidized portion of the Cerro de Oro deposit Although drill spacing is locally sufficient for Indicated classification there remain necessary revisions and updates to the geological logs; better definition of the limit between the oxides and fresh rock; understanding of mineralization controls; and bulk density measurements The reported inferred resources are estimated with an average drilling grid of approximately 85m by 85m Table 5 shows the open pit constrained Mineral Resource sensitivity to the gold price The reader should be cautioned that the figures provided in Table 5 should not be interpreted as a Mineral Resource statement The reported quantities and grade estimates at different gold prices are presented for the sole purpose of demonstrating the sensitivity of the resource model to the selection of a reporting gold price The gold price of $1,700/oz that was used to report the Mineral Resources (the base case) for Cerro de Oro is highlighted in bold Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability The Cerro de Oro Project is planned as a conventional open pit operation that will utilize 100-t haul trucks and front-end loaders before being loaded and hauled to a waste dump Mining activities will be completed by a contractor who will supply all of the required mine equipment and personnel working under the supervision of the Company’s technical staff Using a nested pit shell that is based on a gold price of $1,500/oz and the economic parameters applied to the resource estimate as a guide Upon completion of the ultimate pit designs a check was completed that considered both revisions to the Company’s gold price forecast and its operating cost estimates for the Project A LOM gold price of $1600/oz was selected for use in the final mine planning economics Based on available metallurgical data for the project and an evaluation of the host rock lithologies it was assumed that the majority of mineralization mined will be placed directly on the heap leach as run-of-mine (“ROM”) with approximately 30% of the mineralization reporting to the crusher for size reduction (equivalent to crushing cut-off grade of approximately 0.40-0.45 g/t Au) The mine production schedule anticipates that mining starts at the beginning of year 1 following the completion of all required earthworks activities such as road Due to the low LOM strip ratio (0.30:1) and the size of the mineralization the PEA did not adjust the planned mining physicals to account for mining losses or dilution (magnitude of losses likely similar to dilution) Mine planning efforts going forward will be aimed at cut-off grades and the smoothing of the mining activities later in the mine life that may provide additional economic upside for the project Over the life of mine of 8.2 years a total of 59Mt of mineralization grading 0.37 g/t gold (~700koz of contained gold) are anticipated to be mined Pit bench heights were selected at 5m intervals in order to provide good ore/waste selectivity although use of larger bench heights in zones of primarily waste and on final open pit walls should be considered as part of future optimization studies Overall average pit slopes with the benches/ramps in place range between approximately 30-43 degrees in the north pit and 34 – 38 degrees in the south pit It is assumed that all drilling/blasting/loading/hauling operations at the Project are planned to be completed via an open pit mining contractor Mining costs were developed for the project utilizing recent Mexican cost information for similar heap leach operations and as part of the Company’s recent work at its Santana mine Contractor availability in northern Mexico is currently high and rates are competitive   An additional cost was applied to the mineralized material to account on average for longer hauls to the heap leach pads over the mine life Mine planning and supervision activities will be performed by Company personnel and these costs are excluded from contractor rates The process flowsheet for the Cerro de Oro project is similar to that utilized by the Company at their recently constructed Santana gold heap leach project Metallurgical testwork completed to date on samples from the Cerro de Oro deposit indicate that the gold mineralization is well disseminated throughout the host rock and that the oxide mineralization responds positively to cyanidation Residual gold contents following leaching in multiple series of bottle roll tests (conventional and coarse particle) appear to trend towards a typical range of ultimate values near 0.10 g/t Au Leach kinetics were generally rapid in nature with low to moderate reagent consumptions (lime and cyanide) A limited number of column tests have been completed resulting in leach extractions consistent with those observed from bottle roll studies Additional studies have been recommended to better define leaching parameters and any variability that may exist between the different mineralized zones and lithologies The process design for the Cerro de Oro gold project includes crushing of high grade material to less than 3/4-7/8” (30-35% of total with remaining low grade sent to leach pad as run-of-mine) solution ponds and carbon column recovery of gold from pregnant leach solutions The current design excludes carbon desorption and gold refining facilities as gold-loaded carbon will be shipped off-site for final dore production The overall plant design was based on a nominal rate of 7,000,000 tonnes per year of mineralized material stacked to the leach pad at an average grade of 0.4 g/t Au Sufficient excess capacity is included in the design to allow for expected annual variations in mine production around these nominal values   Base case leach solution flow rate to the carbon column recovery area was set at 800 m3/h with allowances to expand to 1,200 m3/h to accommodate increases in annual production rates and/or an expansion in the overall project resources The overall Cerro de Oro gold recovery facilities consist of the following unit operations and support facilities: The Cerro de Oro Project is accessible by road from the city of Saltillo in neighbouring Coahuila State a driving distance of approximately 165 km The exit to Melchor Ocampo is off Federal Highway 54 approximately 5 km northeast of the town of Concepción del Oro The site access road is approximately 2.5 km east of Melchor Ocampo and itself is a 3 km gravel road that provides access to the Project site All roads to the town are paved and in good condition Based on preliminary engineering a total of approximately 11km of new access roads are required for initial site development and early mine production Roads will consist of gravel surface suitable for the operation of mining trucks and general purpose vehicles An allowance has also been included for some upgrading of existing roads including the widening of sections that pass through/near the project mining operations in order to better accommodate two-way truck traffic Details of the complete modifications to the existing crushing system previously purchased by the company have not yet been completed but the arrangement will include a truck dump hopper/feeder two stage crushing and screening as well as required transfer conveyors and area sufficient for short term material stockpiles It is planned that “grasshopper” style conveyors will be utilized to transfer crushed rock to a mobile stacker located at the leach pad for final stacking/placement In total an allowance has been included for a connected load of approximately 1.5 MW to power all the major crusher and transfer equipment unit operations An existing 2MW backup diesel generator was acquired as part of the overall used crushing circuit equipment and will be installed as a backup The nearest federal electricity (“CFE”) connection to the planned crushing area is a local line approximately 0.5 km to the east The main line supplying the town of Melchor Ocampo runs along the primary access road to the town approximately 2 km to the south The company is currently discussing the project requirements with the CFE to confirm sufficient capacity exists within the local network and to confirm acceptable locations for connection to the power grid It is assumed for the foreseeable future that all power required for the Cerro de Oro gold leaching and recovery plant operations will be generated at site via diesel generators The total maximum operating plant power load is estimated at 780 kW (actual draw will vary over LOM and as leach pad evolves) which will be supplied via a single diesel generator unit (1 MW) A backup generator (300-400 kW) will also be installed to manage basic requirements during maintenance periods or periods of reduced solution pumping Generators are to be located within close proximity to the processing plant area so transmission line requirements will be negligible smaller power consumers not associated with the processing plant (i.e. local offices) will be self-contained with local diesel hydraulic/electric generation At current fuel prices in Mexico diesel generation is equivalent to an electric power cost in the range of $0.30/kWh which has been used for budgeting purposes in the PEA Should the project resources continue to grow further studies would be warranted to investigate the economics of extending grid power to the process plan area The sources of process water available for the Cerro de Oro project consist of groundwater wells a hydrogeological consulting group was retained by the Company to perform reviews of the Cerro de Oro area and to better understand the regional water flows around Melchor Ocampo A series of reconnaissance visits were completed to review available regional geology maps for the area and to make local field investigations (including electromagnetic geophysical surveys – TEM) Seven (7) high priority targets have been selected by the company for test drilling down to a maximum depth of 300 meters The majority of the target areas are located north of the planned leach pad/processing plant facilities and at a distance of less than 5km Preliminary estimates were completed to calculate the total amount of material to be excavated during the overall site preparations Of this total approximately 40% will be moved short distances and utilized as compacted fill The remainder will be moved to one of the site waste storage dumps Other general infrastructure to be constructed at the project includes offices No capital allowance has been made for the truck shop area as these facilities are typically provided by the mine contractor as part of the contract for mining operations Simple buildings are planned with a combination of trailers/container units and locally constructed concrete block structures Only very basic lab services are planned for the site focusing exclusively on production samples (mine blastholes and process solutions) Other samples/testwork/analysis to be completed for the project will be completed at third party facilities located in Zacatecas or Durango The PEA model is based on the assumption that Minera Alamos will provide overall site management technical support and surface and processing plant personnel Mining and crushing activities will be completed by contractors and all personnel other than high level supervision and planning are included in the contractor costs It is anticipated that wherever possible basic operations labour will be sourced locally from the Melchor Ocampo area or other small nearby villages Management and more skilled personnel that are not locally available can be sourced from the Concepcion de Oro general area which is a local center for a number of mining operations Minera Alamos will provide basic transportation services (by road) for operations personnel Minera Alamos plans to maintain a local operations office in Melchor Ocampo and will have some accommodation facilities in the town that can be utilized by visiting management personnel and outside consultants No permits have been granted for the development of the Cerro de Oro Project The Company intends to advance efforts related to the application for these documents prior to a decision being made to develop the Project The primary applications under consideration include: the Company will submit these applications to the appropriate government agencies including the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) A prerequisite for these submissions is the completion of a surface agreement(s) that covers the development areas of interest Agreements were finalized by the company in 2022 and work is currently underway to prepare the MIA/ETJ application documents In total the Company is in possession of two surface rights rental agreements covering a period of 25 years – 656 Ha from the Melchor Ocampo municipality and an adjacent 160 Ha from the local Ejido Following the completion of the ETJ/MIA process a number of other registrations and local/state permits are required in advance of various site development stages and the start of commercial production A sensitivity analysis was conducted on the base case (after-tax) NPV for the Project using the following variables – metal price/recovery Table 7 and Figure 1 summarize the sensitivity analysis results As illustrated the Project NPV is most sensitive to changes in metal price/recovery and less sensitive to initial CAPEX and OPEX Figure 1 – Sensitivity Analysis of Project NPV (5% discount / after-tax) The PEA identifies several project opportunities to further enhance project economics The PEA identifies several recommendations to advance the development of the Project The 2022 PEA was

enough arrivals now that the monarch butterfly sanctuaries can open their doors to visitors in México state and Michoacán Weather conditions in northern Mexico delayed the arrival of the migratory insects to the forests where they spend the winter but specialists expect that all the butterfly colonies will be set up for the season by late November The southern wintering forests are comprised mostly of oyamel fir trees located at 3,000 meters or more above sea level where temperatures range between 0 and 10 C during the season Visitors will be able to tour the sanctuaries every day between 9:00am and 5:00pm on designated walking paths Warm clothing and and comfortable shoes are advised The sanctuaries in Michoacán are El Rosario and El Asoladero in Melchor Ocampo; Senguio in the municipality of the same name; and Sierra Chincua in Angangueo tourists can visit the sanctuaries of Capulín and Macheros in Donato Guerra; La Mesa in San José del Rincón; and Piedra Herrada in San Mateo Almolola Visitors can also enjoy the region’s natural landscapes and the rich variety of food The forests of México and Michoacán states also offer sustainable tourism activities like horseback riding Visitors to the sanctuaries last season numbered 230,000 people 40% more than those registered the previous five seasons Source: Milenio (sp) luxurifying streets of high-grade tourism in the middle of Colonia Roma resides a market to harken at least a few decades back in the history of Mexico City utilitarian but gourmand-applicable market is colloquially referred to as Mercado Medellín because it runs along Medellín street Yet the name is also appropriate as it features a number of South American and Caribbean imports before the Jehovah’s Witnesses have had a chance to set up their kiosk at the “food court” entrance on Coahuila you enter to the sound of chopping carrots A kid consolidates bottles of hand sanitizer At Cocinas Juanita e Hijas – as the name suggests – the women are in charge razzing a young coworker about his T-shirt featuring a bird in a gas mask “What’s with the bird on your shirt?” one of them asks They’d made their point: the shirt is dumb Under Juanita’s clear plastic tablecloths pamphlets from the Secretary of Social Welfare are on display with information to ensure that as the pension system moves into the digital era seniors aren’t duped out of their rightful payments each sporting a variation of Spider-Man-themed gear hung proudly from rafters or across shelves Produce vendors shine and stack everything neatly – best product to the front It’s nice to enjoy the quiet market mornings At Las Delicias juicery they offer straight-up squeezed and pressed juices as well as a number of proprietary blends designed to cure the hangover or the prostate – and morning is certainly the best time to take care of either they serve some of the neighborhood’s best espressos and lattes and it’s one of the few cafés that’s (almost consistently) open by 8:00am the butchers begin to chop and sewing machines whir practical man running the housewares and furniture section in the back might just be the only market vendor in the whole of Mexico City that can consistently make change The flower vendors are always the most assertive dealers: self-confident egomaniacs certain that everyone needs some “more goddamn flowers in their lives.” there are a number of beautiful fruit and vegetable stands to price shop as their prices seem to vary quite a bit from location to location Local Verde 63 – the hippie shop with handmade soaps and lotions fresh herb crackers and crystal bracelets – truly has the best eggs in the market perfectly oviform and crack gorgeously into the frying pan I’d always assumed Nicolas Cote was the owner because he was the only one I’d ever seen at the hair chair even though he’s been cutting hair for 72 years he’s only been working at Medellín for eight Morelia – Cote rode his scissors through a big piece of Mexico but the shops seemed to close down wherever he went He’s deliberate with the clippers and will make conversation if you want to Cote wears his soft wrinkles kindly and has that beautiful full head of white hair that makes for a trustworthy barber you think his special brand of tonic might just work this time Restaurante Cha-Cha-Cha provides an uncommon Decked out with cutouts and giant photos of film stars of years gone by Cha-Cha-Cha’s Yucatan and Central American specialties are good and cheap with the full-coursed comida corrida running from 50 to 70 pesos right up in the rafters overlooking the bright green foliage of the plant vendors a chance for a rare look at a market unselfconsciously just “hanging out.” and seafood – most of them coming from right inside the market – are seared to order on the hot flattop grill They were originally just outside of Centro Médico but the ‘85 earthquake forced them to move wonderfully prepared 250-gram ribeye with fixings for 170 pesos is the real reason to come but Las Tablas is known for their alambres (usually grilled steak They have 17 alambres on the menu with ingredients ranging from standard to offbeat: chiles shrimp and  even pineapple create unique combinations that can mix and match into dozens of options Rosa Martha Jasso has been managing Las Tablas Roma since 2001 and is one of Medellín Market’s more well-known personalities She says Sunday is without a doubt her favorite day in the market because it’s family day friendly clientele on a daily basis,” says Jasso and I enjoy sharing good food and conversation they specialize in housemade Italian and Spanish-style sausages and imports from Argentina and Uruguay Or take home a bone of serrano ham for the perfect DIY broth Other shops specialize in European cheeses But still holding strong to the market’s identity as “Little Havana,” Helados Palmeiro Cuban ice cream keeps a steady crowd throughout the afternoon Coconut and mandarin appear to be among the favorites a traditional Cuban vanilla custard from grandma’s secret recipe you dive deeper into the dedicated Latin American imports: whole cacao; famed Caribbean rums; anise-flavored Colombian aguardiente; dozens of sweets and snacks; and coffee deep-fried empanadas and sweet and salty dough ball buñuelos could be claimed by any number of flags flown throughout the market But the tradition is solidly Mexican – a comfortable hybrid at least I realize as I chat with a man about his experience selling at Mercado Medellín “This is the largest Colombian community in the city,” he says friendly and forthcoming until his father intervenes asking me for identification and rebuking his son for putting their lives in danger talking to a nosy journalist I show them a previous article from Mexico News Daily with my name attached “What’s the name of your business?” I ask the son hoping he’ll warm up after his father walks off • Mercado Medellín is located at Medellín 234 Mexico City and is open 8:00am to 7:00pm Monday through Saturday and 8:00am to 6:00pm Sundays This is the 15th in a series on the bazaars By Allen Pusey one of several popular nightspots he owned in the Pronaf section of Ciudad Juarez when a couple of friends wandered in and told him they were hungry so he offered to send one of his bodyguards out for pizza The Mexican city of 2 million was averaging more than 100 murders per month markets and restaurants were reducing their hours or closing their doors judges and policemen—even the city’s mayor—were moving across the river to the safer environs of El Paso Spanish-style ranch home in El Paso’s Country Club neighborhood He strolled casually into the V-Bar parking lot to dispatch one of his protectors for a couple of late-night pies Shots were fired from the car in a slow-motion drive-by he was dead by the time he reached the city’s General Hospital Wilfredo Moya Estaco and his fam­ily had been fixtures in the nightlife of Juarez for decades But his murder barely made news the following day In the hours before and after his assassination nine others were killed in far-flung parts of the city Three bodies were found in the Melchor Ocampo neighborhood inside an abandoned ’92 Dodge—two stuffed in the trunk a man was shot at the wheel of his Toyota bearing Texas plates A couple cruising in their late-model Mer­cedes were hit with bullets from an AK-47 as they slowed for a stop sign The months of murders were attributed to a turf war between drug cartels Two thousand people were slaughtered in a little more than a year The killings took place at all hours and in every gruesome way imaginable the Mexican government mobilized 3,200 federal troops manned the dispatch boards and typed police reports was dismissed and replaced with new officers with no ties to Juarez—or former officers who would pass lie detector tests The killings slowed almost im­mediately to a trickle and an uneasy quiet returned to the streets of Ciudad Juarez But even as the narco-violence was on the rise the situation was more complex than the screaming headlines would lead one to believe was the result of mere thugs taking advantage of a community destabilized by the drug wars and burdened by a justice system that lacked public trust in courtrooms and prosecutors’ offices there was hope that a profound transformation of the Mexican justice system now under way may help the police and courts act as a bulwark the next time crime begins to spin out of control Click here to read the full story online from this month’s ABA Journal.
