Amato Announces Strategic Approach to Precious Metal Reserve Acquisition

TORONTO, Jan. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - Amato Exploration Ltd. (the "Company" or "Amato") (TSX-V:AMT) is pleased to announce that as a result of the current low valuation of precious metal reserves, Amato has initiated a strategy to aggressively identify and seize opportunities to acquire such reserves on a long term horizon, with the full support and backing of its major shareholder.

The company will not continue to exhaust past exploration approaches that have led to lackluster market interest and devaluation, but will instead inventory and strategically develop each prospective project with particular attention to acute project development timing, minimizing dilution to shareholders and executable exit strategies.

In a statement from Kieran Prashad, President and CEO of the Company, he says that "We are inherently optimistic and driven to be at the vanguard of discovery and scientific advancement in this industry, although too often we forget to ask before spending a dollar to fly a survey, drill a hole, or build a mine – who will buy it and why? For many of these projects and companies we can be their last attempt at creating value for their shareholders but not without keeping in mind our own end game."
