ALTIUS RENEWS NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

St. John’s - Altius Minerals Corporation (“Altius”) is pleased to announce that it has renewed its Normal Course

Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) and it may purchase at market price up to 2,038,535 common shares ( “Shares”), being

approximately 4.7% of its outstanding Shares of 43,208,291 as of August 11, 2017, by way of a normal course

issuer bid (“NCIB”) through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). The NCIB will commence August

22, 2017 and will end no later than August 21, 2018. Any Shares purchased during the NCIB will be cancelled

and returned to treasury.

The TSX rules permit Altius to purchase daily, through TSX facilities, a maximum of 11,827 Shares under the

NCIB. During the previous 12 months, Altius purchased a total of 243,689 Shares through a prior NCIB at a

weighted average price of $10.47 per Share. The reason for the NCIB is that, in the opinion of the board of

directors, the value of Altius, based on anticipated cash flows and underlying asset values, is from time to time

greater than the then aggregate market price of the Shares and accordingly the acquisition of Shares under the

NCIB represents an appropriate use of funds.
