ALTAIR MAKES EXCLUSIVITY PAYMENT FOR KAZAKHSTAN PROPERTIES WITH
TOTAL HISTORIC INDICATED RESOURCES OF 947,900 OZ OF GOLD,
AND INFERRED RESOURCES OF 892,000 OZ OF GOLD
August 4, 2021
Vancouver, British Columbia – August 4, 2021: ALTAIR RESOURCES INC. (“ALTAIR” or the Company”)
(TSX-V: AVX; Germany FRA: 90A; ISIN: CA02137W2004; WKN: WKN A2ALMP) - Further to the
Company’s press release dated July 12, 2021 relating to the acquisition of two gold-producing properties
in eastern and central Kazakhstan, Mr. George S. Young, Chairman and CEO, is pleased to announce that
Altair Resources has made the US$1 million payment under the acquisition agreement to secure
exclusivity on behalf of Altair.
The acquisition includes two gold-producing properties containing a total historic indicated resource of
947,900 ounces of gold, open pit and underground, and a total historic inferred resource of 892,600 oz of
gold, open pit and underground.
Current aggregate gold production at the two properties is approximately 21,000 ounces of gold per year
from the oxide zones of each prope rty. The properties will be owned 100 per cent by Altair upon
fulfilment of the acquisition payments to be made following the completion of due diligence and following
the completion of each of the first two years of continuing operation.
The in situ acquisition cost of these gold producing assets is $58 per ounce.
The reader is cautioned that historical gold resources cannot be relied upon as they need to be confirmed
by a qualified person through additional sampling, analysis and possibly additional drilling. A National
Instrument 43 -101 mineral estimate report and a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) on the
properties have been commissioned by the company to qualify the historical estimate and profile the
property characteristics, in preparation for the commissioning of a feasibility study on the expansion of
the operations.
Eastern Kazakhstan Property
A December, 2020, SRK MRE JORC (Joint Ore Reserves Committee) report for the “A” deposit in the
eastern property showed a total indicated resource of 759,000 oz and a total inferred resource of 807,000
oz of gold, open pit and underground, plus two higher -grade shoots with three -gram-per-tonne-gold
material, using a 0.3 g/t COG (cut-off grade).
The ”B” deposit in the eastern property is the subject of a May, 2021, SRK MRE JORC report , showing a
total indicated resource of 188,900 oz and a total inferred resource of 85,600 oz of gold, open pit and
underground, with an average grade of 1.5 g/t Au material, using a 0.3 g/t COG.

Current production in the eastern property is approximately 12,000 oz Au, produced from the oxide
portions of the deposit, processed in conventional heap leach operations. The Company expects to
proceed with a Preliminary Economic Assessment, followed by a Feasibility Study for the development of
the sulfide resources.
Central Kazakhstan Property
The central Kazakhstan property has an exploration target of 480,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold with a
grade of between 1.4 g/t and 1.45 g/t at 0.3 g/t COG. This is not included in the above -stated indicated
and inferred categories . Altair intends to conduct a drilling program to bring this target to NI 43 -101-
compliant status.
Altair believes the central property has tremendous upside potential, since it currently includes an
operating oxide heap leach Au mine, producing 9,000 oz Au per annum. The mineralization being
processed at on the property includes significant free gold with excellent metallurgical properties,
currently yielding 70-per-cent Au recovery in test opera tions in the oxide zone using a gravity circuit, in
addition to the heap leach processing.
Mr. George S. Young, Chairman & CEO stated, “We are extremely pleased to have made this exclusivity
payment to acquire two producing gold mines in Kazakhstan with such a sizeable resource base. We are
advancing in our discussions with providers of strategic acquisition capital and potential partners for the
acquisition and the further development of the sulphide resources, followed by the expansion of the
operations. Our plan, along with the development of our recently announced Burkina Faso project, is to
implement an aggressive acquisition and development strategy to transform Altair from a junior
exploration company to a mid-tier mining company as rapidly as possible.”
Information of a technical and scientific nature that forms the basis of the disclosure in this press release
has been prepared and approved by Dr. Stewart A Jackson, a Qualified Person, under National Instrument
43-101, and independent consultant of Altair Resources Inc.
About Altair Resources Inc.
Altair is a gold and precious metals exploration company. Altair recently announced the signing of a
binding agreement for the purchase of the Marbera 2 permits in Burkina Faso, hosting historic resources
of over 1.3 million ounces of gold as shown by over 387,000 meters of drilling and 294,000 samples.
Altair also has rights to acquire a 65-per-cent interest in the Simon gold and silver property located in the
state of Nevada. A past producer, the Simon property presents an excellent opportunity for adding value,
employing low-cost exploration activities to identify prime drilling sites in six anomalous zones previously
identified with gold, silver and copper mineralization. The Simon property lies within the region that hosts
the prolific Tonopah distr ict, the Round Mountain gold mine and numerous other successful mining
projects.
Altair is also continuing with its consideration and negotiations on other properties. The company is
evaluating the potential to acquire producing precious -metal and non -ferrous metal opportunities in
North and South America and Africa, in addition to Kazakhstan and Central Asia.
