Background to the Circular and General Meeting

On 11 October 2017 the Company announced that it proposed to acquire all of the outstanding shares in Legend Gold Corp. ("Legend") and effectively a 100% interest in Legend's portfolio of gold exploration licences in the Republic of Mali (the "Projects"). On 21 November 2017 the Company announced that the transaction would be structured through the acquisition of LGN Holdings (BVI) Inc. a 100% subsidiary of Legend and the owner of the Projects. Legend Shareholders will receive three (3) new Ordinary Shares in exchange for each one (1) common share that they hold in Legend.  The Acquisition will be structured as a Plan of Arrangement in Canada and will result in the issue of an aggregate of 41,060,256 Consideration Shares to Legend Shareholders representing 27.6% of the enlarged issued share capital of Altus immediately following completion of the Acquisition, based on the current Altus issued share capital of 107,680,814 Ordinary Shares. The issued and outstanding Legend warrants will be exchanged for 8,665,854 New Warrants in Altus on the same terms, other than for the number and prices which shall be as adjusted in accordance with the Exchange Ratio.

Although the Company currently has sufficient general authority to issue and allot the Consideration Shares and to issue and allot the Ordinary Shares to be issued and allotted on exercise of the New Warrants; it cannot issue and allot all of these Ordinary Shares without first offering them to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

Resolution 1 is being proposed to grant the authority to the directors to dis-apply the statutory pre-emption rights in relation to such share issues.

Resolution 2 is being proposed to grant authority to the directors to issue and allot Ordinary Shares.

Resolution 3 is being proposed to dis-apply the statutory pre-emption rights in relation to such share issues.

The proposed authorities are intended to replace the existing authorities granted at a general meeting of the Company held on 14 June 2017 that remain unused at the date of this Document which the Company intends to use in connection with the issue of the Consideration Shares and the New Warrants. Each resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting is included in full below.

Recommendation

The Directors believe that the proposed Proposals are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolutions as set out in the Notice of GM, as they intend to do in respect of their aggregate beneficial shareholdings amounting to 44,102,669 Ordinary Shares as at 21 November 2017, being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this document, representing 40.96 per cent. of the Company's existing issued share capital.

High resolution ground geophysics and a concurrent gold in soil survey are defining priority targets for a systematic trenching programme. The Laboum licence hosts a number of artisanal gold mining sites and grab samples have returned grades up to 24.50 g/t Au from quartz veins and 6.86 g/t Au from the sheared metasedimentary rocks respectively.

Morocco - Copper
