3 Chapter 1 for Altius… Altius began early in the last resource bear market (1997-2002) generating exploration projects at low cost It managed successfully to sell many of these during the bull market from 2003 to 2008 – while often retaining long-term royalties A royalty creation business … the 1 st Cycle 37% annual share price growth rate through first complete sector cycle

6 The beginning of Chapter 2 for Altius… Current environment is similar to 1997-2002 Major difference is that we are starting this cycle with a large, profit derived, cash position and a well developed project generation business model Current cash is far in excess of that optimal to the project generation business Additional contrarian investments in the sector are attractive Embracing Cyclicity
