(OTCBB: ALTO) announced today its intention to move forward towards the drilling phase within the Nkwanta Concession in Ghana, West Africa pending the completion of the concession assignment process with Castle Peak Mining Company ("Castle Peak"). The process to conclude the concession assignment with Castle Peak is underway and, as outlined in the Company's Joint Venture Agreement, will be the final step before the Golden Arrow drilling program can be initiated.

Furthermore, Ghana's population provides broad availability of low-cost labor as well as an ample supply of highly trained workers for mining and infrastructural support. Management looks forward to developing an increased presence in the country. In related news, Company management further wishes to announce plans to mitigate potential geographic, political and concentration risks for shareholders through the proposed acquisition of additional exploratory projects into the Company's portfolio.
