Companies in the news:

Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI). Down 19 cents, or 1.3 per cent, to $13.96. A $514-million expansion of its Island Gold mine in northern Ontario will increase production while taking the cost per ounce of producing gold to industry leading lows, says Alamos Gold Inc. The Toronto-based miner says its decision to proceed is based on a study of several options that concluded the best path forward was to implement a mill upgrade and shaft expansion to increase ore extraction to 2,000 tonnes per day from the current 1,200 tonnes by 2025. Despite target price upgrades by several financial analysts who watch the company, Alamos shares traded lower on Wednesday. In a research report, analysts at Stifel GMP said the expansion is a “low risk, low operating cost project” that would make sense even if gold prices were lower than the current multi-year highs. They raised their target share price to $20 from $15.
