Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to the statement on Schedule 13D (this
Amendment No. 1
) amends and supplements the statement originally filed on January 22, 2013 (the
Schedule
13D
) by Alamos Gold Inc., a British Columbia corporation (
Alamos
), and relates to the common shares (the
Common Shares
) of Aurizon Mines Ltd., a British Columbia corporation
(
Aurizon
).
Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the
information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

Purpose of Transaction.
|
Item 4 of the
Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On March 20, 2013, Alamos issued a press release
announcing that (i) it would not extend its offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares other than any Common Shares held directly or indirectly by Alamos and its affiliates (the
Offer
) because the condition
to the Offer set forth in Section 4(b)(viii) (the
Condition
) of Alamos offer to purchase and circular dated January 14, 2013, as amended (the
Circular
), was not satisfied prior to the expiration of the
Offer; and (ii) it would not take up any Common Shares tendered to the Offer. The Condition stipulated that Alamos shall have the right to withdraw or terminate the Offer and not take up and pay for any Common Shares deposited under the Offer, or to
extend the period of time during which the Offer is open for acceptance and postpone taking up and paying for any Common Shares deposited under the Offer, if at or prior to the Expiry Time (as defined in the Circular) neither Aurizon nor any of its
entities (as defined in the Circular) shall have, on or after January 11, 2013, taken any action, or authorized, recommended, proposed or announced the intention to take any action, having the effect of impairing the ability of Alamos to
acquire Aurizon, otherwise diminishing the expected economic value to Alamos of the acquisition of Aurizon or making it inadvisable, in Alamos reasonable judgment, for Alamos to proceed with the Offer and/or with the taking up and paying for
Common Shares under the Offer, including any action or event related to any take-over bid (other than the Offer), merger, amalgamation, statutory arrangement, recapitalization, business combination, share exchange, material joint venture or similar
transaction involving Aurizon or any of its entities.
On March 3, 2013, Aurizon announced that it had entered into an
arrangement agreement (the
Arrangement Agreement
) with 0963708 B.C. LTD. (
Acquireco
), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla Mining Company (
Hecla
), pursuant to which Aurizon, Acquireco and Hecla
agreed to effect a combination of their respective businesses through an arrangement effected under the
Business Corporations Act
(British Columbia) on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Arrangement Agreement. Pursuant to
the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, Aurizon was obligated to pay Hecla a termination fee of C$27,200,000 (the
Break Fee
) upon the occurrence of certain events.
On March 12, 2013, Alamos filed an application (the
Application
) with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the
BCSC
) seeking an order to prevent payment of the Break Fee. On March 18, 2013, the BCSC rejected the Application. Therefore, Alamos believes that the Condition was not satisfied due to the Break Fee.
Alamos continues to review and monitor its options and alternatives with respect to its ownership of Common Shares in light of all
relevant factors from time to time, including general market conditions, prevailing market prices for the Common Shares, the business and prospects of Aurizon and alternative investment opportunities available to Alamos. In light of prevailing
factors, Alamos currently intends to explore opportunities to dispose of all or a portion of the Common Shares owned by it in the open market, through negotiated or private transactions or otherwise, in each case on such terms and at such times as
Alamos may deem advisable. In the future, as a result of such review and monitoring and relevant factors that may prevail from time to time, Alamos may cease its exploration of opportunities to dispose of Common Shares, terminate or temporarily
suspend any sales activities in which it is engaged or may acquire additional Common Shares or dispose of Common Shares or at any time and from time to time, in each case in the open market, through negotiated or private transactions or otherwise,
and in each case on such terms and at such times as Alamos may deem advisable, which may result in one or more of the actions specified in clauses (a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.
