Share Consolidation
At a special meeting of the shareholders on October 5, 2018, the shareholders approved by special resolution
that the authorized share structure of the Company be altered by consolidating all of the issued common
shares without par value on a 2:1 basis, such that every two (2) pre- consolidation common shares will be
consolidated into one (1) post -consolidation common share; (the " Share Consolidation "). Accordingly,
- 2 -

hen the Share Consolidation is put into effect, a total of 41, 549,613 common shares in the capital of the
Company would be issued and outstanding following the Share Consolidation, assuming no other change in
the issued capital.
P
ursuant to the Share Consolidation, r egistered shareholders will be required to exchange the share
certificates representing their pre- consolidation common shares. Following the announcement by the
Company of the effective date of the Share Consolidation, registered shareholders will be sent a letter of
transmittal from Computershare (the "Transfer Agent"). The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on
how to surrender the share certificate(s) or DRS advice representing the pre-consolidation common shares
to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent will forward to each registered shareholder who has sent the
required documents a new share certificate or DRS advice representing the number of post -consolidation
common shares to which the s hareholder is entitled. Until surrendered, each share certificate representing
pre-consolidation common shares of the Company will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number
of whole post -consolidation common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Share
Consolidation. Shareholders should not destroy any share certificate(s) and should not submit any share
certificate(s) until requested to do so.
N
on-registered shareholders holding their common shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should
note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have different procedures for processing the Share
Consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Company for registered s hareholders.
A
ltan Nevada’s Venus Property Exploration Plans
The V
enus Project is located within the Yerington copper porphyry district in the Walker Lane mineralized
belt in Nevada. It is approximately six miles east-south-east of the Yerington township, and easily accessible
by both paved and dirt roads.
A
ltan Nevada’s decision to advance exploration at the Venus Project coincides with the recommencement
of development of Nevada Copper Corp.'s (TSX:NCU) (“Nevada Copper”) Pumpkin Hollow Copper Mine
immediately to the north and less than one mile from the tenement boundary which is expected to produce
an average 50 million pounds of copper annually over 23 years commencing mid-2019.
A
news release highlighting the most recent exploration activities and potential for the Venus project was
released on February 5, 2019. Venus is considered to have the potential for the discovery of new deposits
of similar size and grade to Pumpkin Hollow. It also has the potential for discovery of buried porphyry-style
copper mineralization with characteristics similar to the Yerington Mine.
