ALTAIR READIES KOSOVO ZINC-LEAD-SILVER EXPLORATION PROGRAM
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – January 11, 2017 : ALTAIR RESOURCES INC. (“Altair” or the
“Company”) (TSX-V: AVX; Germany FRA: 90A; ISIN: CA02137W1014; WKN: WKN A2ALMP) Mr. John
Huguet, Chairman of the Board, wishes to announce the initiation of planning for a 2017 exploration
program on its Invictus Project in Kosovo.
Numerous high grade zinc and lead occurrences on the prope rty justify an aggressive program on this
little-explored area. The initial exploration target is the determination of zinc distribution within a zone
measuring 500 meters by 300 meters by 50 meters deep. On surface in this area are several trenches
that exhibit high grade zinc-lead mineralization with numerous trench samples running between 17-35%
zinc plus lead over 2-4 meter widths within broader mineralized zones. Several drill holes are needed to
check for depth continuity within the targe area.
Gravity surveying will check not only on the target area and also on a broader scale for the possibility of
a much larger target within a belt of limestones and schists that host numerous rich surface showings
and some historical underground workings.
Altair’s Invictus Exploration Project lies within the Crepuliga property in the Mitrovica District of Kosovo,
seventeen kilometers due west of the city of Mitrovica. Altair holds a 9.82 sq km exploration license
within this historical zinc, lead, and silver producing region where metals have been produced since the
Middle Ages.
Two belts 50km and 20km long run northerly through central Kosovo. Within this belt the Trepca group
of 40 mines and processing facilities have produced since Roman times, and e mployed over 20,000
people prior to destruction during the recent war. Overall the country is reported to contain 60.5
million tonnes grading 4.96 %lead, 3-3% zinc, and 74.4 g/t silver (Wikepedia). For the Trepca area alone
the United Nations Mission in Kosovo Report in 2001 states a resource of 29 million tonnes grading 3.40-
3.45% lead, 2.23-2.36% zinc , and 74-81 g/t silver.
Recommendations for work and details of work to date including geochemistry, geophysics, trenching,
drilling and sampling are available in a National Instrument 43 -101 Report by Perry Grunenberg (2015)
filed by the Company on SEDAR. An Internal Corporate Report (2016) by Prof. Dr. Alaudin Kodra of
Kosovo recommends drilling of up to 20 holes to extend known surface and drill hole intercepts.
Results of a 2016 trenching program (see Press Release Oct.11,2016) extended the trenched area of high
grade showings to over 450 meters and discovered four new areas of outcropping high grade zinc -lead-
silver mineralization. The surface target zone on the property exends over 5km in length and 200 -500m
in width.

It should be noted that there are no reserves or resources on the Altair property holding, nor can there
be any assurance that any such resource or reserve will be established, and if established whether such
resource or reserve will be economically recoverable.
