Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI) ("Alamos" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding
providing for Alamos to acquire 100% of the Agi Dagi and Kirazli gold
projects from Fronteer Development Corp. ("Fronteer") (TSX: FRG)(NYSE
Amex: FRG) and Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") (TSX: TCK.B)(NYSE:
TCK), through the acquisition of certain Turkish subsidiaries held by
Teck and Fronteer.
Alamos is to pay a total of US$40 million and issue a total of four
million shares to the vendors in consideration for these two
projects. In addition to statutory compensation that may apply to the
projects, a third party has a 2% Net Smelter Return Royalty on
production from the Agi Dagi project.
Fronteer and Teck have agreed to negotiate exclusively with Alamos.
Completion of the transaction is subject to 60-day due diligence
period, the execution of definitive agreements, and the approval of
Alamos' Board of Directors and the TSX.
Agi Dagi and Kirazli are advanced-stage gold exploration projects
that form part of the Biga Mineral District, a recently established
gold-copper mineral district, which is located in the Biga Peninsula
of northwestern Turkey. The Biga Mineral District features a growing
number of high-sulfidation epithermal gold and associated porphyry
copper-gold deposits, drawing comparisons to world-class districts
such as Yanacocha, Pierina, and Alto Chicama in Peru.
Agi Dagi is located about 50 kilometres ("km") southeast of Canakkale
near the town of Can. Kirazli is located approximately 25 km, by
paved road, northwest of Agi Dagi. The region is well-serviced with
electricity, transmission lines, and electrical generating
facilities.
In June 2007, Fronteer published NI 43-101 compliant resources for
the Agi Dagi and Kirazli gold properties. Fronteer defined three gold
deposits that collectively contain measured and indicated oxide
resources of 1.293 million ounces of gold and 8.4 million ounces of
silver, plus inferred oxide resources of 702,000 ounces of gold, and
5.254 million ounces of silver at a cut-off of 0.5 grams of gold per
tonne ("g/t Au"). These oxide resources are open for expansion and
summarized in Table 1. In addition to the oxide resources,
significant sulphide resources are also contained within these three
deposits.

Since publishing these results, Fronteer and Teck have completed an
additional 81 holes of core and reverse-circulation drilling on the
three main mineralized zones. Based on Alamos' initial review, it is
expected that these drill results will add to the resource when
incorporated into the model.
In addition to the defined gold resources, only five holes have been
completed on other targets on these concessions.
