Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS; OTCQX: ATUSF) (“Altius” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report
that its approximately 58% owned subsidiary, Altius Renewable Royalties Corporation (“ARR”), has today
announced that it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with an affiliate of Northampton
Capital Partners, LLC (“ Northampton”) whereby Northampton will, subject to customary closing
conditions, acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of ARR other than those indirectly
owned by Altius by way of a statutory plan of arrangement for cash consideration of C$12 per share for
total consideration of approximately C$162 million (the “Transaction”). Altius has entered into a voting
support agreement to vote its shares in favour of the Transaction, subject to certain customary
exceptions. Following completion of the Transaction, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of
2024, ARR expects to be delisted from the TSX and cease to be a reporting issuer, and upon closing will
be held by Altius and No rthampton on an approximately 5 7%-43% respective ownership basis. The
Transaction does not impact ARR’s underlying 50% joint venture interest in Great Bay Renewables.

About Altius
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 46,467,476 common
shares issued and outstanding that are listed on Canada’s Toronto Stock Exchange. It is includ ed in each of the
S&P/TSX Small Cap, the S&P/TSX Global Mining, and the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats indices.
