Alto Ventures Confirms Kimberlite Indicator Minerals on the Gefa Property Adjacent to Pikoo, Northern Saskatchewan

LogoAlto Ventures Ltd. (ATV: TSX-V) is pleased to announce recovery of significant Kimberlite Indicator Minerals (KIMs) from till samples on the GEFA Diamond Property, located adjacent to the east of the North Arrow Minerals Inc. Pikoo diamond discovery in Northern Saskatchewan. The KIMs include Cr-rich chromites, Mg-ilmenites, Cr-pyrope garnets and one diamond associated eclogite garnet (Diamond Indicator Mineral "DIM"). Recovery of such an eclogite garnet in till is consistent with an indicator dispersion train having a potentially significant diamondiferous source. Cr-pyrope, eclogite garnet, and Mg-ilmenite KIMs have been particularly useful in this part of Saskatchewan defining the drill targets that resulted in discovery of diamond bearing kimberlite in 2013 on the adjacent Pikoo property.
