("AMO")(TSX VENTURE:AMO.P), a Capital Pool Company ("CPC") trading on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding letter of intent dated July 6, 2011 (the "Agreement") regarding a proposed transaction (the "Transaction") with Altan Rio Minerals Limited ("Altan Rio"), a privately held company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), which operates as a mineral exploration company with various mineral exploration interests in Mongolia. It is intended that the Transaction will constitute AMO's "Qualifying Transaction" in accordance with Policy 2.4 of the Exchange. AMO and Altan Rio are at arm's length; accordingly the Qualifying Transaction is not a "Non-Arm's Length Qualifying Transaction". As such, it is anticipated that the approval of the shareholders of AMO will not be required. Subject to any regulatory, director or other approvals that may be required, the completion of satisfactory due diligence by AMO and other conditions contained in the Agreement, it is intended that AMO will acquire 100% of the common shares of Altan Rio (the "Altan Rio Shares") in a reverse takeover transaction which will be effected by way of a three cornered amalgamation (the "Amalgamation") pursuant to which a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of AMO will amalgamate with Altan Rio, resulting in the amalgamated company becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMO. Pursuant to the Amalgamation, 41,804,343 Consolidated AMO Shares, as defined hereafter, will be issued to the existing shareholders of Altan Rio. Upon completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that the Resulting Issuer, as defined in Exchange Policy 2.4, (the "Resulting Issuer") will be listed on the Exchange as a Tier 2 mining issuer. As a condition of the Amalgamation, the shareholders of AMO will be asked to approve a consolidation (the "Share Consolidation") of AMO's common shares ("AMO Shares") on the basis of approximately one and two-thirds (1.66665) old shares for one (1) new share. The AMO Shares as so consolidated are hereinafter referred to as the "Consolidated AMO Shares". Concurrently with closing of the Qualifying Transaction, AMO will change its name to "Altan Rio Minerals Ltd." or such other name as may be selected by Altan Rio. If requested and approved, the Share Consolidation would become effective prior to completion of the Qualifying Transaction. All share numbers and pricing herein assumes completion of the Share Consolidation prior to closing of the Qualifying Transaction. AMO and Altan Rio confirm that there are no finder's fees or other similar fees payable to any person or party with respect to the Qualifying Transaction.

Contemplated Financings In conjunction with the Qualifying Transaction, AMO will undertake a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") to raise gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000. Under the terms of the Offering, AMO would issue up to 2,000,000 units (each a "Unit") at a price of $0.50 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one Consolidated AMO Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant.
