James R. Porter, previously Alamos' Vice President of Finance, has been promoted to Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

'Jon has been an integral part of the Alamos team since the very beginning, having joined in early 2004 when we were the only two employees in the head office. I sincerely thank Jon for his leadership and dedication through the financing, construction and subsequent growth of our operations in Mexico and through the acquisition of our Turkish assets. Jon has played an instrumental role in helping transition the Company from a developer to the intermediate producer stage. I wish him all the best in his retirement.'

As part of the transition of the Chief Financial Officer role, Alamos has retained Mr. Morda on a part-time consulting basis.
