"The exercise shows a strong commitment from our shareholders and provides additional financial flexibility to accelerate exploration at the Tijirit property. Our objective is to further advance exploration of the Tijirit property throughout the fourth quarter of this year and through early 2017, with additional assay results expected in late Q4 2016," said Francois Auclair, Algold's President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are very appreciative of our shareholders' continued support."

Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) 

Analytical work for drill core and chips, geochemical samples and rock chip samples is being carried out at the independent ALS Laboratories Ltd. in Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland, an ISO 17025 (2005) Certified Laboratory. Samples are stored at the Corporation's field camps and put into sealed bags until delivered by a geologist to the ALS preparation laboratory in Nouakchott, Mauritania, where samples are sieved and prepared for shipping. Until the end of 2015, samples were analysed at ALS facility in Bamako, Mali. Since early 2016, samples are analysed at the ALS in Ireland. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and finely crushed to better than 70%, passing a 2 mm (Tyler 9 mesh, US Std. No.10) screen. A split of up to 1,000 g is taken and pulverized to better than 85%, passing a 75 micron (Tyler 200 mesh) screen, and a 50-gram split is analysed by fire assay with an AA finish. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference material (standards) are being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
