The Corporation’s mandate is to acquire, evaluate and bring significant gold and other precious metal properties to the development stage.

Certain of these properties exhibit high-grade gold values, rare earths, rare metals and other industrially useful minerals and metals.The Corporation is unique in the industry in that it owns, and therefore controls for itself, most of the equipment required to carry out the various phases of exploration. Key pieces of this equipment include diamond drill rigs, bulldozers and skidders. Other equipment includes rod sloops, thousands of feet of BQ and NQ drill rods, water heaters for winter drilling, high pressure water pumps and nozzles for outcrop stripping, a fleet of trucks, all terrain vehicles and a shop full of spare parts and tools.The Corporation’s goal will always be growth.

The quality of the Corporation’s projects, an aggressive acquisitions strategy based on acquiring properties near present and past producers, and the proven background of the management team will allow the Corporation to become an emerging leader in the Canadian mining industry.King’s Bay Gold Corporation is a Winnipeg-based company that was incorporated pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”) on March 20th, 1998.

Altius is focused on the mining and resources sector through prospect generation, the creation and acquisition of royalties and investments. The Corporation has a strong financial position with approximately $194 million in cash and liquid investments and no debt. Altius owns an effective 0.3% net smelter return in the producing Voisey’s Bay nickel-copper-cobalt mine located in Labrador, Canada and has numerous active mineral exploration agreements principally in eastern Canada targeting a variety of mineral commodities. In addition, the Corporation holds investments in junior exploration and development stage companies. The Company prefers to generate partnerships or corporate structures related to the opportunities it generates, which results in the Corporation carrying minority and non-operating project or equity interests and/or royalty interests. Since inception in 1997, our business model and operating philosophy have consistently delivered increased value for shareholders of Altius through cyclical market conditions. The company has built a solid reputation around its percentage of successful mineral project generation initiatives that it intends to further build upon. While the market sentiment for the natural resources sector was somewhat turbulent in 2009 our Company is well prepared to embrace the opportunities of market volatility and/or a down-cycle. Going forward Altius intends to grow its business through its; 1) organic mineral exploration business focused in eastern Canada, 2) exportation of its proven prospect generator business model to other choice jurisdictions, and 3) to prudently deploy its capital in royalty-like investment opportunities throughout the minerals sector. Altius prospered through the last bear cycle because its business plan inherently preserves capital structure and manages risk, thus there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future of Altius and its expanding business strategy.
