Peter Gianulis, CEO of Allegiant Gold, commented:“We are pleased to have owned Mogollon for close to 15 years and now turn it over to a great management and technical team in Summa Silver.  It truly has been a joy working with them the past four years.  I am confident that they will be able to maximize the value in the property and, as a large shareholder in Summa, we look forward to the advancement and development of Mogollon.  Over four years ago, we embarked on our current strategy of focusing on our Flagship Project, Eastside, with over 1.4 million ounces of gold and close to 9 million ounces of silver in the inferred category.* We have been able to double the inferred resource over this period of time while keeping dilution to one of the lowest in our peer group over that period of time. We continue to advance Eastside and strongly believe that we have the potential to significantly increase the resource size and, more importantly, increase the profitable ounces in ground while keeping dilution to a minimum.  This, in our opinion, is the single best way to increase shareholder value.”
