ATV Alto Ventures Ltd

Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ATV) is pleased to announce that it has raised
$612,000 in the first and second tranches of its private placement announced on
December 16, 2011 through the issuance of 3,400,000 flow through common shares.
One insider participated in the private placement for 140,000 flow through
common shares.


The Company paid finders fees of $37,359 cash and 207,550 broker warrants
exercisable at a price of $0.15 for a period of two years in connection with the
private placement. All securities are subject to a four month hold period
expiring April 22, 2012 as to 1,060,000 flow through common shares and expiring
April 23, 2012 as to 2,340,000 flow through common shares.


Proceeds from this financing will be used for exploration on the Company's
district scale Oxford Lake gold and base metals property located in Manitoba.
The Company plans to start a 5,000m diamond drilling program in January, 2012 to
evaluate two targets:




--  The iron-formation hosted Rusty Gold Zone containing 154,000 ounces gold
    in historical resources of 800,000 tonnes averaging 6.0 g/t gold(i).

--  The potential for massive sulphide copper zinc deposits. Previous work,
    including Alto's 1,700 line km VTEM geophysical survey has identified
    geology and geophysical signatures favourable for hosting massive
    sulphide deposits. (See News Release dated November 16, 2011).



(i)The resource was estimated in 1990 and a Qualified Person (QP), as defined by
NI43-101, has not done sufficient work to classify this historical estimate as
current mineral resources. Alto is not treating the historical estimate as
current mineral resources, as defined by NI43-101, and thus the historical
estimate should not be relied upon.
