ALTIUS MINERALS CORP - ATUSF STOCK NEWS

Altius Minerals (TSX: ALS, OTCQX: ATUSF) has received a partial arbitration award regarding its royalty interests in the Silicon gold district in Nevada. The arbitration between Altius Royalty and AngloGold Ashanti North America (AGA) has determined that Altius's royalty rights include the entire 26.6 km² base area of interest (Base AOI) and certain contiguous/adjacent mineral lands held by AGA.

The Tribunal has given the parties 60 days to jointly submit a detailed list of claim units subject to the royalty. Based on preliminary interpretations, Altius believes the known extents of the Silicon and Merlin deposits, including the southern Merlin extension beyond the Base AOI, fall under its royalty. However, lands acquired from third parties like Coeur Sterling and Corvus Gold before the 2015 Royalty Agreement are excluded.

The award potentially allows for significant expansion of Altius's royalty rights around the Base AOI, including several kilometers along northwest and northeast trend extensions.

Altius Minerals has reported significant growth in its Project Generation business and junior equities portfolio, which reached $60.4 million in value by December 31, 2024, up from $45.1 million in 2023. The company monetized certain liquid equities early in 2024, generating $26.4 million in gross proceeds, with $11.3 million invested in Orogen shares.

Key highlights include Altius's 19.6% stake in Orogen Royalties, which generated over $5 million in royalty revenue from its Ermitano gold mine. Notable developments include progress at AngloGold Ashanti's Expanded Silicon project and Silvercorp's acquisition of Adventus Mining, with production at El Domo copper-gold project targeted for late 2026. The company maintains various equity positions and royalty interests across multiple exploration projects, including Golden Baie, Golden Rose, and Taylor Brook.
