ALTIUS EXECUTES TELKWA COAL PROPERTY AGREEMENT WITH AUSTRALIAN VENTURE

Altius Minerals Corp. has entered into an option and royalty agreement concerning its Telkwa coal project with a private company, Telkwa Coal Ltd., being financed out of Australia. Altius acquired the project in May of this year as part of its acquisition of the Carbon Development Partnership.

The terms of the agreement allow Telkwa Coal a 48-month period to earn a 90-per-cent project interest subject to retention by Altius of a 10-per-cent project interest and an up-to-1.5-per-cent price-based sliding-scale gross revenue royalty. To earn its interest, Telkwa Coal must make milestone payments totalling $10-million in cash (and/or common stock at Altius's discretion if a public company is formed). Within six months of execution of this agreement Telkwa Coal will pay Altius $500,000 and prepare a National Instrument 43-101-compliant resource statement for the project. The final milestone hurdle requires a positive development decision. Altius has tag-along rights with respect to its project interest and any common share payments received.

The 13,000-hectare project is located near Smithers, B.C., approximately five kilometres from the CN main rail line and then 320 kilometres by rail to port facilities at Prince Rupert, B.C. The project has seen considerable past exploration and evaluation work and hosts historical estimated (National Instrument 43-101 non-compliant) coal resources of 58.9 million tonnes (measured and indicated) and 27.8 million tonnes (inferred), including potential export thermal products and semi-soft coking coal, ranging in rank from high volatile A bituminous to semi-anthracite (a qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as a current resource estimate and Altius is not treating the historical estimate as a current resource estimate; source: Sherritt 2013 AIF).

Altius chief executive officer Brian Dalton commented on the Telkwa deal by saying: "We acquired CDP for its existing royalty revenue, but more particularly for its extensive portfolio of undeveloped coal and potash resource lands. This represents the first property option and royalty agreement stemming from this portfolio and is consistent with our strategy of growing our long-term base of royalties through the conversion of project interests to royalties. Telkwa is one of a great number of advanced projects that we acquired through CDP and we are actively pursuing several other such agreements."
