6,000 Metres of Diamond Drilling Commences

6,000 Metres of Diamond Drilling Commences at the Coldstream Property, Ontario




Vancouver B.C., February 1, 2011, Alto Ventures Ltd. (ATV: TSX-V) ("Alto") and Foundation Resources Inc. (FDN: TSX-V) ("Foundation") or together "the Companies" are pleased to announce the commencement of a 6,000 metre diamond drilling program on the Coldstream Property (“the Property”) in northwestern Ontario. Foundation is the operator of this program and owns a 60% interest in the Property and Alto owns the remaining 40%. The three priority targets for the drill program are:



(1) Expand the East Coldstream Gold Deposit ("the Deposit") laterally by targeting 3D-induced polarization (IP) anomalies identified during the 2010 summer exploration program. These IP anomalies are located a few hundred metres both south and east of the Deposit.



(2) Test the Iris Zone by targeting historical IP anomalies with coincident surface gold values. The Iris Zone is located approximately 1.5 km northeast of the Deposit. Historic drilling results (e.g., 1.27 g/t gold over 5.2 m and 0.74 g/t gold over 12.5 m, including 1.19 g/t gold over 4.0 m) and Foundation’s 2009 and 2010 surface exploration results (up to 25.0 g/t gold in grab samples) correspond well with the historical IP anomalies. These targets are very encouraging as they have not been tested in detail.



(3) Test the possible extension of the Moss Lake Gold Deposit onto the southern-most claims of the Property. Historical drilling by Inco Ltd. (now “Vale”) in the early 1980s returned anomalous gold values (e.g., 0.99 g/t gold over 24.5 m and 1.5 g/t gold over 3.5 m) suggesting a potential extension of the Moss Lake Gold Deposit (QES Zone) onto the Property.


In addition to the drilling, a 3D-IP survey is planned on the Span Lake claims adjacent to the Moss Lake Gold Deposit (1.1 million ounces in 'Indicated' and 520,000 ounces in 'Inferred' categories).


Approximately 10,000-metre of diamond drilling was completed during the 2010 winter and summer exploration programs on the East Coldstream Deposit. The recent drilling has confirmed the continuity of gold mineralization between widely spaced historical holes and has extended the down-plunge and lateral continuity of the Deposit. In 1991 Noranda calculated the Deposit to contain a non-NI 43-101 compliant historic resource of 5.1 million tonnes grading 1.4 g/t gold (234,000 ounces contained gold)*.


In addition, surface exploration work consisting of a 3D-IP survey adjacent to the Deposit and litho-geochemical sampling and prospecting in the Iris Zone were carried out. Both the drilling and surface programs generated very positive results and the current 2011 winter drilling program is designed as a follow up to these favourable exploration results.


Encouraged by the positive drilling results, the Companies strongly believe that the 2010 drilling programs were executed successfully and appear to have increased the area of gold mineralization. The drilling planned in 2011 will continue to advance the deposit towards a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate. Furthermore, with planned drilling of several 3D-IP targets this winter, the Companies believe there is potential for lateral extension to the east and south of the Deposit.


*A Qualified Person (QP), as defined in NI43-101, has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as current mineral resources. Alto is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources, as defined in NI43-101, and thus the historical estimate should not be relied upon.


Results of 2010 Winter and Summer Drilling Programs


Results from the 2010 winter and summer programs (38 holes, totalling 10,107 metres) were very positive as they represent some of the best grades and widths drilled on the Property to date (see Alto’s 2010 news releases on its website: www.altoventures.com). Of the thirty-eight holes, 36 were drilled to test the Deposit and two holes were drilled in the northern part of the Span Lake area. Drilling of the two Span Lake holes yielded wide mineralized intercepts with anomalous gold grades (e.g., 0.34 g/t gold over 39.55 m in hole SL-10-TW and 0.23 g/t gold over 73.0 metres, including 0.49 g/t gold over 14.1 m in hole SL-10-01).


The 36 holes (C-10-14 through C-10-49) that were completed to test the Deposit demonstrated potential for increased grades and widths as compared to the historical drilling. Hole C-10-14 intersected 4.88 g/t gold over 27.3 m and C-10-16 cut a wide section of mineralization averaging 1.12 g/t gold over 111.3 m. Both of these holes were drilled to test the Main Zone. In addition, hole C-10-49 returned two significant intercepts of 45.6 m averaging 1.04 g/t gold and 49.9 m averaging 1.01 g/t gold. These intercepts occur at vertical depths of approximately 180 m and 260 m respectively in an area of the Main Zone that had not been drilled previously. These are encouraging results as they increase the potential for hosting additional gold mineralization in the Main Zone.

Drill hole C-10-39 tested the Sanders Zone and returned 35.6 metre-wide zone averaging 2.10 g/t gold. Three additional holes were drilled and yielded similar results confirming gold mineralization extends down-plunge and remains open at depth. Results from the four holes testing the Sanders Zone are significant as this zone was not part of Noranda’s historical holdings and the mineralization was not included in their historical resource estimate in 1991. The Sanders Zone is located on strike approximately 500 m northeast of the Main Zone.


The East and North zones, which occur parallel to both the Main and Sanders zones, are the other two of the four zones comprising the 1.5 km long East Coldstream Deposit. Wide intervals of gold mineralization similar to the Main and Sanders were also intersected in the East and North zones. Drill hole C-10-32 intersected a 34.8 metre-wide section averaging 1.84 g/t gold in the East Zone. In the North Zone, hole C-10-18 intersected 67.9 m averaging 1.1 g/t gold and C-10-23 cut 34.5m averaging 1.93 g/t gold. These results confirm gold mineralization extends down plunge and remains open at depth.

Corp update - January 31, 2011

With Rig One, Burns Block Rainy River drill hole RR11-4 was completed to 280m.

Hole was drilled from same collar as RR10-32, 25m north of high grade hole RR10-15. Intercepted the foliated, sericite altered zone from 155m to 187m down hole. Hole RR11-5 is being drilled from same collar with a dip of 65 degrees. This is the final hole to complete a three fan from the RR10-32 site. Hole RR11-5 is at 45m this morning with target depth of 145m to 175m downhole.

With Rig Two, Burns Block Rainy River drill Hole RR11-3 was at 454m this morning. Second hole of a planned three hole fan located 130m east of west boundary on the south boundary of the Burns. Intercepted the foliated, sericite altered zone at 380m.

We will then steepen the next hole and start the final hole from this location at around 85 degrees.

On the "C" Block, we are constructing a winter road for planned drilling.

Extract from Casey's International Speculator

My latest hidden gold nugget could make 448% returns look like chicken feed.

Global gold mining takeovers have already set a record thisyear. Now, with the Chinese and their billions fully backingacquisitions abroad, the outlook for takeover candidates isastronomical.

My latest gold nugget find is about as straightforward apotential takeover story as I've ever seen. And because of itssignificant discoveries, it's highly likely to make you a ton of money,whether it's acquired or not.

I can't tell you how excited I am about this. It's truly oneof the few virtual "no-brainer" calls I've ever seen, and another hugeDOUBLE-WIN opportunity for those who get in quickly. Let me explain.

Rainy River Resources (V.RR) has been advancing a large(5.1Moz Au) and growing gold resource in northwest Ontario. But I'vediscovered recent drill results that show RR's mineralization extendsfrom their property right onto an adjacent claim block owned by anothersmall junior miner.

Armed with the drill results, this small company recentlyraised C$4 million in a private placement to carry out its drillprogram.

One of two things is guaranteed to happen to this small company:


1. With its known extensions to RR's gold deposits, this company is ripe for being taken over by RR. But RR itself is a candidate for takeover by any large gold mining company looking for big deposits in a stable mining jurisdiction. That means this tiny, virtually unknown gold nugget could be the winner of a no-holds-barred bidding war that would drive its stock prices into the stratosphere.
2. If it doesn't get taken over, the company has excellent potential to drill off a substantial gold resource of its own, and to discover even more. This work can provide extraordinary returns to investors on its own.


You see why I'm excited? This is more than just a great discovery story -- it's also a clear takeover waiting to happen. And either way investors who get in now – while virtually nobody else knows what's going on – stand to win big!

Sincerely,

Louis James, Editor
