of the Company into a diversified intermediate producer with a
high-quality asset base and leading growth profile. Peter’s strong
operational stewardship has positioned the Company to deliver
growing production and declining costs well into the future while
reducing its overall environmental footprint.
“On behalf of the Board and entire team at Alamos Gold, I would
like to thank Peter for his dedicated service and invaluable
contributions to the Company. Peter has been a tremendous leader at
Alamos and has helped instill a culture of safety first and
continuous improvement, such that the outlook for all three of our
operations and entire Company has never been stronger,” said John
