Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATV) ("Alto") is pleased to announce that it has
completed the sale of its underlying 0.5% NSR Royalty on Eagle Hill
Exploration's Windfall Lake Gold project to Virginia Mines Inc. ("Virginia") in
consideration for an amount of $750,000 payable by the issuance of common shares
in the capital of Virginia (see Alto news release dated March 24, 2014). In

the Pikoo district of north-central Saskatchewan and for general working
capital.


Richard Mazur, CEO of Alto stated, "We are pleased that Virginia recognizes
Alto's underlying value through this investment in Alto at a premium to its
share price. We will aggressively explore our diamond properties in the
