FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMENDMENT TO OPTION AND ROYALTY AGREEMENT ON
MAUN LAKE MINERAL CLAIMS
ALTON VENTURES, INC. – RICHMOND, BRITISH COLUMBIA –(BUSINESS WIRE) September 15, 2006 – The Board of Directors ofALTON VENTURES, INC.(“Alton” or the “Corporation”) (OTC-BB: ALVE) today announced that the Corporation has entered into an amendment to the Option to Purchase and Royalty Agreement pertaining to the Maun Lake Claims in northern-western Ontario such as to give the Corporation an extra eighteen months in which to complete the next phase of work on our optioned property.
Although the Phase I Exploration Program on the Maun Lake Mining Claims Property did not return the results we were initially seeking, the Board of Directors sought an amendment to the Option to Purchase and Royalty Agreement (the “Agreement”) entered into between the Corporation and R. T. Heard dated May 07, 2004, as amended June 30, 2005. We sought to extend the time permitted for completion of phase II of the planned three-phase exploration program so as to allow the Corporation more time to both make a decision on moving forward with the project and to continue to seek avenues of capital raising for the next phase and for further acquisitions.
As a result, the Agreement has been extended such as to continue the June 30, 2006 deadline for the completion of the second phase of the exploration program from June 30, 2006 to December 31, 2007 and to extend all subsequent dates by at least one year.
We continue to seek avenues to raise capital to continue with the exploration program. At the same time, we are seeking additional projects or other business opportunities for Alton.
