Alamos Gold to Commence Trading on the New York Stock Exchange
Under AGI Ticker Symbol
Toronto, Ontario (February 11, 2013)
Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX: AGI)
(Alamos or the Company) is pleased to announce that its common shares have been authorized for
listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) under the ticker symbol AGI. The common shares will begin trading on February 13, 2013, when senior management from Alamos will visit the NYSE to ring the opening bell.
The Companys common shares will continue to trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX) in Canada under the ticker symbol AGI.
The listing of Alamos shares on the NYSE underscores our strong progress from a start-up company to a highly profitable gold producer that is currently one of the worlds lowest-cost gold
miners. In 2012, less than a decade after the Companys establishment, we generated our billionth dollar of revenue and produced our millionth ounce of gold, said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alamos.
Over the next few years we plan to more than double our production, while continuing our track record of generating strong returns for our shareholders.
We welcome Alamos to the community of New York Stock Exchange listed companies, said Scott Cutler, Executive Vice President, Head of Global Listings, NYSE Euronext. We look forward to a
long-term partnership with Alamos and its shareholders, and to providing the superior liquidity, services and visibility associated with listing on the NYSE.
