Altius Provides 1st Quarter 2018 Project Generation Update

24.04.2018 | 15:35 Uhr | Business Wire

Altius Minerals Corp. (“Altius”) (ALS:TSX) is pleased to update its Project Generation (“PG”) business activities and its public junior equities portfolio.

The market value of the junior equities portfolio at the close of trading April 23, 2018 was $52.9 million.

This value includes an increased shareholding in Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (IRON:TSX), as detailed in a press release dated March 23, 2018. It does not include a $10 million debenture that is convertible into Champion Iron Ore shares, various in-the-money share purchase warrants or other equities to be received in exchange for announced project transactions that remain subject to final closing. An updated list of the public equity holdings has been posted to the Altius website at http://altiusminerals.com/projects/junior-equities.

Project Updates and New Agreements
Altius continued to advance the new diamond discovery at its Lynx project in Manitoba during the quarter with the execution of an Exploration Agreement with the Bunibonibee Cree Nation (http://altiusminerals.com/uploads/BunibonibeePressRelease.pdf). Microdiamond analysis data received to date from 15 samples from the Eastern Bay zone has yielded 1,693 microdiamonds (+0.106 mm to +0.850 mm size fraction) from 240 kg of ultramafic host units collected over an approximately 3 km strike length. An independent NI 43-101 report will be provided in Q2 as Altius prepares to launch a new public company vehicle around the project. This is anticipated to be undertaken in partnership with certain strategic investors in order to facilitate the advancement of the project through bulk sampling programs as quickly as technically feasible. A project summary is available at http://altiusminerals.com/projects/lynx-diamond. Altius acknowledges support from the Province of Manitoba via its Mineral Exploration Assistance Program.

Aethon Minerals Corporation (AET:TSX-V) (“Aethon”) is expected to begin trading in the first week of May. Aethon was created when Altius vended a portfolio of copper-gold projects to Watusi Capital Corp. As a condition of the transaction, Aethon raised $7.7 million via a non-brokered private placement led by Sprott Capital Partners and affiliates. A news release detailing the completion of the transaction can be viewed at http://www.aethonminerals.com. Following the transaction Altius will hold or control approximately 19.9% of Aethon and a 2% gross sales royalty covering its current portfolio of projects.

A Letter of Intent has been executed to vend the Sail Pond silver-copper-lead-zinc project, located in northwestern Newfoundland, to New Found Gold Corp. (“NFG”). As consideration, Altius will receive 12 million common shares of NFG and will retain a 2% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty over the project. Other key conditions of the Letter of Intent include NFG listing its common shares on a recognized Canadian stock exchange and raising a minimum of $7.5 million via a private placement, of which Altius would invest a minimum of $1 million. A full summary of the deal terms are available at http://altiusminerals.com/uploads/2018-03-27-ALTIUS-LETTER-OF-INTENT-TO-SELL-SAIL-POND-PROJECT-.pdf.

Altius has received 7,754,371 common shares of Sokoman Iron Corp. (SIC:TSX-V) as payment for its option of the Moosehead gold project in Central Newfoundland while retaining a 2% NSR royalty. A more detailed account of the transaction and project highlights can be viewed at http://www.sokomaniron.com/news.
