ALTAIR INTERSECTS HIGH GRADE ZINC IN INITIAL DRILL HOLE, CREPULJE PROJECT,

MITROVICA DISTRICT, KOSOVO

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – MAY 3 1, 2017: ALTAIR RESOURCES INC. (“Altair” or the

“Company”) (TSXV: AVX; Germany FRA: 90A; ISIN: CA02137W1014; WKN: WKN A2ALMP) Mr. Harold

(Roy) Shipes, President and CEO, is pleased to announce that Altair has intersected excellent zinc

mineralization in its initial 2017 diamond drilling on the Crepulje Project, Mitrovica District, Kosovo.

Hole Number CRP 008 intersected two zones of oxidized zinc mineralization that extends to depth a

zone of mineralization previously known from surface trenching. As s hown in the tabulation below the

uppermost zone begins at surface extending to 9.8 meters in depth averaging 10.11% zinc, and 0.46%

lead. A second interval 8.5 meters in length extends from 32.5 m to 41 m averaging 23.18 % zinc and

1.53% lead. Both intervals contain higher grade internal zones as shown in Table 1.

Of 15 assays included in computing these intervals, zinc grades for five of the samples exceeded 30%.

Additional re-assaying is in progress to ascertain the zinc assay levels above 30% , to be reported later.

All intervals are core length as the true thickness of the zones cannot be established as the attitude of

the mineralization is not known.

This hole substantially increases the zinc potential for the project as it extends downward the oxidized

zinc mineralization sampled in Trench No. 2-1a. As reported in a National Instrument 43-101 Report by

Perry Grunenberg this trench showed 4m grading 25.60% zinc, 1.56% lead, and 11m grading 20.10%zinc

and 1.83% lead.

Hole Number CRP 009 , drilled to intersect another nearby zone projected to greater depth within this

belt of karsted limestone terrane did not return significant values.

Additional drilling on the project is currently evaluating gravity anomalies encountered in a gravity

survey encompassing the carbonate belt and the surrounding complex stratigraphy.

The Crepulj e zinc -lead-silver property, Mitrovica District of Kosovo has numerous high -grade zinc and

lead occurrences with several surface trenches exhibiting high grade zinc -lead mineralization zones

running between 17 to 35 per cent zinc plus lead over 2 to 4 m widths within broader mineralized zones.

Work recommended by Perry Grunenberg, P.Geo in a technical report completed in compliance with

National Instrument 43-101 standards is in progress.

All sampling was conducted under the guidance of MSc. Selim Berisha, Technical Director and Chief

Geologist , Kosovo “ADGA” SH.P.K., supervised by Dr. S.A. Jackson, QP , Technical Advisor to Altair

Resources Inc. Assaying was conducted by ALS Laboratory Services, Belgrade , Serbia. Internal

standards and blanks are routinely inserted by the Company for Quality Control of Laboratory results.

The technical information in this Press Release has been reviewed and approved by Dr. Stewart A.

Jackson PGeo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43 -101, and a Technical Advisor to the

Company.
