("Altus" or the "Company")

Conditional Approval to list on the TSX-V & Placing Update

Altus Strategies Plc (AIM: ALS), the Africa focused exploration project generator, announces that it has received conditional approval from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange" or the "TSXV") to list the Company's ordinary shares ("Ordinary Shares") on the Exchange.

Final approval for the listing is conditional upon the Company satisfying certain customary listing conditions and requirements imposed by the Exchange, including providing certain documentation and information to the Exchange. The Company is working to satisfy these conditions as quickly as possible. Upon obtaining final approval, the Company will issue a further press release. Following its dual listing on the TSXV, the Ordinary Shares of Altus will remain quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange.

Update on Private Placement

As previously announced, the Company is undertaking a private placement offering of units ("Units") on a non-brokered basis, to raise a minimum of C$2,545,050 and a maximum of C$5,000,100 at an issue price of C$0.15 per Unit (the "Offering"). Each Unit is comprised of one Ordinary Share in the capital of Altus and one Ordinary Share purchase warrant of Altus ("Warrant") exercisable to purchase one Ordinary Share for five years from the closing of the offering ("Closing") at an exercise price of C$0.30.

Sprott Capital Partners, a division of Sprott Private Wealth LP, and affiliates will act as finders in connection with the Offering (the "Finders"). Finder's fees may be payable on all or a portion of the Offering, and will consist of a cash fee of up to 6.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Units sold to investors introduced by the Finders and that number of non-transferrable share purchase warrants ("Finder Warrants") equal to 5.0% of the number of Units sold to investors introduced by the Finders, each Finder Warrant entitling the Finder to purchase one Ordinary Share for three years from the Closing at C$0.225.

The Offering is being made in the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Ontario and in the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions as may be determined between the Company and the Finders, and is subject to the approval of applicable regulatory authorities. The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for exploration and generative activities on the Company's licences in Africa and for general corporate purposes.

The Company announces that the Offering will close shortly, and this will be subject to the completion of formal documentation, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. Upon closing of the Offering, the Company will issue a further press release.
