Alto Sells 100% Interest in the Windfall East Project, Quebec for Cash, Shares and Private Placement

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 24, 2017) - Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSXV: ATV)is pleased to announce the sale of a 100% interest in the 299 hectare Windfall East project to Beaufield Resources Inc. (TSXV: BFD) adjacent to Osisko's Windfall deposit and on trend from Osisko's new Lynx discovery in Urban-Barry Township, Quebec.

Terms of the acquisition:

• Beaufield will pay Alto $300,000 cash.
• Beaufield will issue 2.75 million Beaufield shares to Alto.
• Alto will retain a 1% Net Smelter Return Royalty ("NSR") on the property with a buyback provision for 0.5% of the NSR by Beaufield for $1 million.

Concurrently with this acquisition, Beaufield will subscribe for 2,916,667 shares of Alto at a price of $0.12 per share for proceeds of $350,000. The transaction is subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Rick Mazur, CEO of Alto commented, "Beaufield is well positioned and focused on its Urban property with expertise in exploration of the emerging Windfall Gold Camp. Alto will have significant exposure to their exploration success through the Beaufield shares received and the royalty retained on the property. The cash received from the sale of this asset will be deployed on our Oxford Lake Banded Iron Formation gold deposit in Manitoba. Oxford Lake has tremendous potential to be a large gold deposit similar to other Canadian BIF mines and developments such as Musselwhite, Lupin, Back River, Meladine and Meadowbank. We are looking forward to this summer's exploration program at Oxford Lake."
