ALTIUS PROVIDES 3RD QUARTER 2025 PROJECT GENERATION UPDATE
Altius Minerals Corp. has provided an update to its project generation (PG) business activities and its public junior equities portfolio.
The market value of equities in the portfolio at Sept. 30, 2025, was $44.0-million, compared with $87.3-million at June 30, 2025. Gross cash proceeds for the quarter totalled $67.6-million received from the Orogen Royalties Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange: OGN)
plan of arrangement
with Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. in relation to the acquisition of Orogen's 1-per-cent NSR (net smelter return) royalty covering the Arthur gold project. In addition to the $67.6-million in proceeds, Altius also received 9,889,490 new Orogen shares which were valued at approximately $25-million as of Sept. 30, 2025, implying total transaction consideration at that date of more than $92-million. This compares with an original cumulative investment amount of less than $15-million.
On July 23, 2025, Altius
announced
the sale of 1 per cent of its own 1.5-per-cent NSR royalty covering the Arthur project for $275-million (U.S.) (approximately $375-million).
An updated list of the public equity holdings on which the company holds royalties has been posted to the Altius website.
Portfolio highlights
Orogen had a very active quarter, as summarized in its
announcement
dated Sept. 24, 2025, which acknowledged active drilling campaigns under way in seven partner-financed programs in Nevada, British Columbia, Colombia and Western Kenya, all areas where Orogen holds projects or royalty interests.
Altius invested $1-million in the Blue Moon Metals Inc. (TSX-V: MOON) public offering
announced
during the quarter and also invested $250,000 in Perseverance Metals Inc. as part of its planned initial public offering
announced
in late September. Altius is a substantial shareholder (7.35 per cent) of Perseverance primarily as part of its sale of the Voyageur nickel project to the company in 2024, on which Altius also retains a 2-per-cent NSR royalty.
In Nevada, Eminent Gold Corp (TSX-V: EMNT) completed
two IP lines across the steam-heated alteration cap at the Celts gold project and has interpreted a normal fault beneath the zone of intense alteration. This structure will be the principal target of a late 2025 drill program. Altius has an equity investment in Eminent and a 1.5-per-cent NSR royalty on the Celts project, subject to a 0.5-per-cent buydown right.
Altitude Minerals Ltd. (Australian Securities Exchange: ATT)
announced
its exclusive option to purchase from Orogen and Altius (50/50) the Firenze gold project in Nevada for total consideration of cash and/or shares of $400,000 (U.S.) due Nov. 30, 2025. Altius will retain a 1.5-per-cent NSR royalty on the Firenze project, subject to a 0.5-per-cent buydown right.
Both the Celts and Firenze projects were originally generated from Altius's continuing exploration alliance with Orogen.
Wolfden Resources Corp. (TSX-V: WLF)
announced
that it has completed the first 600-metre core hole of an approximate 1,800-metre drill program at its Rockland gold project in Nevada. The program is designed to test below historical drill results that ended in gold mineralization, including 146.4 metres at 1.0 g/t AuEq (gold equivalent) in hole PG-32. Altius holds a greater than 10-per-cent equity position in Wolfden.
Each of the Celts, Firenze and Rockland projects are located in the Walker Lane trend and the low-sulphidation epithermal styles of gold mineralization at each project are broadly analogous to the Merlin-Silicon deposits at the Arthur project being advanced by AngloGold Ashanti North America Inc., where Altius retains a 0.5-per-cent NSR royalty.
Altius also finalized an agreement with private company Sun Valley Minerals Inc. consisting of a $1.3-million equity investment (9.2-per-cent stake). Under this agreement, Altius will receive certain equity participation rights and a right of first offer to purchase physical land underlying mineral titles held by Sun Valley in Uruguay that, if developed, can convert to a 1-per-cent gross sales royalty.
As part of its project generation investment mandate, Altius continues to evaluate exploration alliances and equity investment opportunities in multiple jurisdictions that support royalty creation.

About Altius
Minerals Corp.
Altius's strategy is to create per-share growth through a diversified portfolio of royalty assets that relate to long-life, high-margin operations. This strategy further provides shareholders with exposures that are well aligned with sustainability-related global growth trends including the electricity generation transition from fossil fuel to renewables, transportation electrification, reduced emissions from steelmaking and increasing agricultural yield requirements. These macro trends each hold the potential to cause increased demand for many of Altius's commodity exposures including copper, renewable based electricity, several key battery metals (lithium, nickel and cobalt), clean iron ore and potash. In addition, Altius runs a successful project generation business that originates mineral projects for sale to developers in exchange for equity positions and royalties. Altius has 46,276,054 common shares issued and outstanding that are listed on Canada's Toronto Stock Exchange. It is a member of both the S&P/TSX Small Cap and S&P/TSX Global Mining Indices.
