DISCLAIMER AND QUALIFIED PERSON Forward Looking Statements This document includes certain statements that constitute “forward‐looking statements” and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, “forward‐looking statements”). Forward-looking statements include statements regarding Altius Minerals Corporation’s (“Altius”) intent, or the beliefs or current expectations of Altius’ officers and directors. Such forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project”, “intend”, “expect”, “may”, “will”, “plan”, “should”, “would”, “contemplate”, “possible”, “attempts”, “seeks” and similar expressions. Forward‐looking statements may relate to future outlook and anticipated events or results. By their very nature, forward‐looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and the risk that predictions and other forward‐looking statements will not prove to be accurate. Do not unduly rely on forward‐looking statements, as a number of important factors, many of which are beyond Altius’ control, could cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates and intentions expressed in such forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements speak only as of the date those statements are made.

Qualified Person’s Statement Rod Smith, M.Sc., P.Geo., Chief Geologist for Altius, is the Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. Mr. Smith is responsible for the scientific and technical data presented herein and has reviewed and approved this project summary. 2
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS The Golden Rose project represents one of the few regional scale land positions within the Valentine Lake structural corridor (or shear zone) and boasts numerous gold prospects that remain open or have simply never been drill tested. Altius is seeking a well- financed and technically competent partner to advance its newest gold project. The project is located between Marathon Gold’s feasibility-stage 4.1 Moz Valentine Lake project to the northeast and Matador Mining’s 837 Koz Cape Ray project to the southwest. The gold-bearing Valentine Lake structural corridor transects the full length of the project through multiple rock types, including the Rogerson Lake conglomerate, giving way to over 45 km of prospective strike-length for gold mineralization. Features the South Woods Lake zone located on a prominent flexure of the Valentine Lake shear zone. Historic grab samples up to 65 g/t Au and drill intercepts of 1.37 g/t Au over 26.31 m and 2.15 g/t Au over 12.6 m. To date, the zone has been outlined to > 550 m on surface and remains open. Elsewhere on the project are multiple untested quartz-sulphide hosted gold occurrences in bedrock, and historic unsourced float up to 214 g/t Au. 105 km2 land package comprising 420 mineral claims that are easily accessible via the Burgeo Highway and forest access roads/trails. Hydro electricity is readily available. View looking southwest from the northern end of the project. The Burgeo Highway and hydro Straightforward permitting process.

400 KM GOLD-BEARING STRUCTURAL CORRIDOR “…the Paleozoic structural architecture of the emerging gold district in central Newfoundland bears strong similarity to the world-class, orogenic- style Archean gold system of the Abitibi greenstone belt.” (GSC, Honsberger and Bleeker, 2019) Altius Resources New Found Gold Golden Rose Project Queensway Project 92.86 g/t Au over 19 m, incl 285 g/t Au over 6 m Matador Mining Ltd Sokoman Minerals Cape Ray Project Moosehead Project Canterra Minerals 837 Koz total resource 33.6 g/t Au over 24.9 m Wilding Lake Project 10 g/t Au over 5.35 m Marathon Gold Valentine Lake Project 3.09 Moz.

SAME GEOLOGICAL SETTING AS THE VALENTINE LAKE PROJECT The Golden Rose Project is located on the same Silurian structural corridor (i.e. Valentine Lake shear zone) as Marathon Gold’s Valentine Lake gold project (4+ Moz). The structure is partially delineated by the the Rogerson Lake conglomerate, which represents an early phase, extension-related, basin fill sequence, which was subsequently deformed under fault reactivation, which occurs as thrust faults. Gold mineralization is related to this later compressional stage. Valentine Lake Project Golden Rose Project South Woods Lake Gold Zone 5

WOODS LAKE GOLD ZONE Drill intercepts at South Woods Lake are highlighted by 2.14 g/t Au over 16.11 m, including 6.18 g/t over 5.11 m, 2.15 g/t over 12.6 m, 1.37 g/t over 26.31 m and 1.47 g/t over 22.5 m. Mineralization at the South Woods Lake zone is hosted by variably textured, mylonitized and brecciated, commonly strongly lineated monzogranite to granodiorite of the Ordovician (467 ± 6 Ma) Peter Strides granite suite.

ADDITIONAL GOLD PROSPECTS FOR FOLLOW UP Jens Pond: Large angular boulder cluster located on the edge of a pond. Historic grab sample values up to 4.2 g/t Au. Dominantly quartz-calcite with varying concentrations of pyrite, arsenopyrite (up to 50%), chalcopyrite and galena. Roadside Conglomerate: Roadside exposure of Rogerson Lake conglomerate with quartz veins orientated oblique to shear fabric in conglomerate. Quartz veins contain anomalous gold with chalcopyrite, bornite and malachite. Glimmer Pond: Strongly altered volcanic or sedimentary rock on Quartz-malachite veins in sheared the southeast side of the pond with outcrop gold values up to 1.63 Rogerson Lake conglomerate at the g/t Au. Four short holes were completed in 2010 defining broad Roadside Conglomerate prospect alteration with anomalous gold. Unsourced historic quartz float with values up to 213.8 g/t Au was discovered in the area. Falls Zone: Mineralization is exposed in a small brook and consists of quartz-sericite-pyrite-arsenopyrite alteration. Gold grades from this material were anomalous with values approaching 0.5 g/t Au. Unsourced historic quartz-rich float was found proximal to this area with values up to 196.7 g/t Au. Mink Pond: Mineralization consists of strong quartz-sericite- pyrite alteration over a large area. Historic assays returned values up to 2.0 g/t Au. Silicified volcanic with pyrite at the Glimmer Pond prospect 9
