Drill Targets Defined at DJ & SBK Gold Project, Western Mali

Altus Strategies Plc (AIM: ALS & TSX-V: ALTS), the Africa focused project and royalty generator, announces that it has defined a series of drill and trench targets at the Company's 100% owned Djelimangara and Sebessounkoto Sud gold licences ("DJ & SBK" or the "Project"). The Project is located 2km east of the Company's Korali Sud licence, which hosts the Diba gold project and is approximately 20km southeast of the multi-million ounce Sadiola gold mine in the 'Kenieba Window' gold belt in the west of the Republic of Mali ("Mali").

Highlights:

· Drill targets established over three prospects in western Mali

· Extensive artisanal hard rock gold workings to depths of 40m

· Historic drilling intersections include 3.71 g/t Au over 8m and 11.05 g/t Au over 3.7m

· 2km east of the Company's Korali Sud licence and 20km southeast of the Sadiola gold mine

· Targets based on reinterpretation of geochemical, lithological and geophysical data

Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented:

"Our detailed review of the historic data on the DJ & SBK gold projects has defined a number of priority drill and trench targets. With a cumulative strike length of over 5.5km the targets are often coincident with hard rock artisanal gold workings that can extend for up to 150m in length with individual shafts reportedly down to 40m. The Project contains over 20km of strike in the prolific Senegal-Mali shear zone which hosts a number of current and former multi-million ounce gold mines including Sadiola and Yatela. The Company will shortly commence detailed mapping around these prospects to further refine these targets. We look forward to updating shareholders in due course."

DJ & SBK Project: New Prospects

The Company has defined three priority prospects as set out below. The proposed exploration programmes at each prospect will be subject to the Company entering a joint venture or similar transaction with a funding third party on the Project:

Soa Prospect

· 2.0km long geochemical anomaly with artisanal workings

· Rock chips up to 11.4 g/t Au

· Trenching of 0.87 g/t Au over 24m (Randgold, 2016)

· 1,000m of trenching and up to 15 drill holes to 100m depth proposed

Souroukoto Prospect

· 2.3km long geochemical anomaly with artisanal workings

· 2.0km long high-chargeability zone coincident with soil geochemical anomaly

· 1,000m of trenching and up to 20 drill holes to 100m depth proposed

Manankoto Prospect

· 0.9km long geochemical anomaly from termite mound sampling

· Artisanal workings along 500m of strike

· Historic drilling includes 3.71 g/t Au over 8m

· 1,000m of trenching and up to 10 drill holes to 100m depth proposed

DJ & SBK Project: Location

The 56km2 Djelimangara (DJ) and 29km2 Sebessounkoto Sud (SBK) licences are located in western Mali, 2km east of the Company's Korali Sud licence which hosts the Diba gold project The Project is approximately 400km northwest of the capital city of Bamako and 90km southwest of the regional capital of Kayes.

DJ & SBK Project: Exploration History

Historic exploration at the Project includes over 34,000m of drilling (of which 2,681m was diamond drilling and 5,747m was RC drilling), over 6,000 soil samples and airborne VTEM and Induced Polarisation ground geophysical surveys.

Table 1: Selected DJ drilling intercepts from historic drilling (1996 - 2004)The following historic intersections from the DJ licence are calculated based on a greater than 0.5g/t Au cut-off grade, a 40g/t top-cap of grades above that grade and where there is ≤ 3m of consecutive internal waste.

DJ & SBK Project: Geology

The Project lies along the prolific Senegal-Mali shear zone, within the Kofi Series of the Kédougou-Kéniéba Birimian inlier. This inlier hosts the multi-million ounce Sadiola mine and former Yatela mine, each located approximately 20km and 50km to the northwest of the Project respectively. The Project is also within the same geological formation as the Loulo & Gounkoto shear zone hosted gold deposits, operated by Barrick Gold Corp. ("Barrick") (NYSE:GOLD, TSX:ABX) which are located approximately 70km to the southeast. The Kofi series includes argillaceous basin sediments metamorphosed to greenschist facies. Syn-tectonic granitoids intrude the Kofi basin and younger northeast trending dolerite dykes are also present. Four phases of deformation characterise the Kédougou-Kéniéba Inlier, the most recent of which manifests as NNW-SSE to NE-SW striking shear zones. Much of the gold mineralisation in the region is associated with these third order structures and dilation jogs related to the Senegal-Mali shear zone.
