Daniel Renaud, Managing Director at Arrowhead added: “This is an exciting time for Altaley Mining,
considering its Tahuehueto gold mining project is entering its final phases of development and further
efficiencies are coming into effect at its Mexican polymetallic producing operation, Campo Morado.
Against the backdrop of high inflation, shortages of key metals and robust demand for commodities
the Company’s diversified resource base offers an attractive investment proposition. We are very
excited to partner with Altaley Mining to make the Company better known within the North American
and international investment community. We believe many investors will find the information we
provide on Altaley Mining valuable and that we can help the Company significantly increase investor
engagement through 2022 and beyond.”
FUTURE MONEY TRENDS LLC
Further to the Company’s news release of September 28, 2021, the Company’s engagement of Future
Money Trends LLC, Gold Standard Media LLC, Portfolio Wealth Global LLC, and Wealth Research Group
LLC, which was approved by the TSXV on December 20, 2021, has not yet resulted in the advance of any
fees as contemplated by the September 28, 2021, news release. Given that the arrangement was not
approved by the TSXV until near Christmas, the parties decided to postpone advertising and no
payments were made by Altaley with the expectation that payments would be made at such time as
markets improved. The Company and the group have now entered into an updated arrangement
dated March 14, 2022, whereby the Company, Future Money Trends LLC, Gold Standard Media LLC,
Portfolio Wealth Global LLC and Wealth Research Group LLC will enter into a 5-month arrangement
for publishing and digital marketing services for a total fee of USD$100,000 to be advanced in 4
monthly payments of USD$25,000. Such amended arrangement is subject to the approval of the
Exchange.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING PRODUCTION DECISIONS AND FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
It should be noted that Altaley declared commercial production at Campo Morado prior to completing a feasibility study of
mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Altaley’s
production decision has been made without a comprehensive feasibility study of established reserves such that there is greater
risk and uncertainty as to future economic results from the Campo Morado mine and a higher technical risk of failure than would
be the case if a feasibility study were completed and relied upon to make a production decision. Altaley has completed a
preliminary economic assessment (“PEA”) mining study on the Campo Morado mine that provides a conceptual life of mine plan
and a preliminary economic analysis based on the previously identified mineral resources (see News Release dated November 8,
2017, and April 4, 2018). ). Furthermore, It should be noted that Altaley intends to commence pre-production and ramp up to full
commercial production at Tahuehueto prior to completing a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and
technical viability. Accordingly, readers should be cautioned that Altaley’s pre-production and production decisions will be made
without a comprehensive feasibility study of established reserves such that there is greater risk and uncertainty as to future
economic results from the Tahuehueto mine and a higher technical risk of failure than would be the case if a feasibility study
were completed and relied upon to make such production decisions. Altaley has completed a positive pre-feasibility study (the
“Pre-Feasibility Study”) and updated mineral reserves/resources estimates at its flagship Tahuehueto Mine that provides a
conceptual life of mine plan and a preliminary economic analysis based on a 1,000 tonne per day operation (see News Release
dated March 7, 2022)
