the over-allotment option exercised by the underwriters in connection with its

public offering of securities which closed on November 17, 2009. The exercise

of the over-allotment option brings the total number of Units sold by the

Company in this public offering to 12,781,250 and, together with the

November 17, 2011.

Proceeds of the offering will be used to fund a portion of the Company's

ongoing capital program with the Flow-Through Common Share proceeds used to

incur eligible Canadian exploration expenditures that will be renounced to

subscribers effective on or before December 31, 2009.

The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the

U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the

Forward-looking statements: This press release contains forward looking

statements. More particularly, this press release contains statements

concerning the anticipated use of the net proceeds of the offering. Although

AOS believes that the expectations reflected in these forward looking

statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on them because

AOS can give no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Since forward

looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature

they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. The intended use of the net

proceeds of the offering by AOS might change if the board of directors of AOS

determines that it would be in the best interests of AOS to deploy the

proceeds for some other purpose.

The forward looking statements contained in this press release are made

as of the date hereof and AOS undertakes no obligations to update publicly or

revise any forward looking statements or information, whether as a result of

new information, future events or otherwise, unless so required by applicable

securities laws.
