CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 5, 2024) - Elemental Altus Royalties Corp. (TSXV: ELE) (OTCQX: ELEMF) ("Elemental Altus" or the "Company") is pleased to report that Allied Gold Corporation ("Allied") (TSX: AAUC) has recently announced a settlement of terms for a protocol agreement with the Government of Mali to secure approvals for advancing the development and processing of the Diba deposit. In addition to expected milestone payments, Elemental Altus holds a 3% NSR royalty on the first 226,000 ounces of gold production at the Diba and Lakanfla licences, and an uncapped 2% NSR thereafter. The Diba deposit is ~12km from Allied's producing Sadiola Gold Mine.

Highlights

• Diba to become Elemental Altus' newest producing gold royalty expected to contribute to the portfolio from Q3 2024, with ramp up continuing in Q4 2024

• Ore from the Diba open pit was first processed at the Sadiola Mill in Q2 2024 as part of industrial scale tests to confirm and optimize processing parameters, yielding better than expected grades, with Allied announcing the Diba deposit will contribute to increased intermediate-term oxide gold production at Sadiola Gold Mine

• Allied are also dedicated to further advancing optimization at the Sadiola Gold Mine, including initiatives to improve recoveries, increase throughput and optimise mining inventory, as higher than expected grades at Diba illustrate that initial production estimates may be exceeded

Frederick Bell, CEO of Elemental Altus, commented:

"It is an exceptional outcome to convert a low-cost exploration asset into a material royalty and have that organically generated royalty be on track to generate revenue within 12 months of the sale. Allied has been able to fast-track production at Diba; and further, it's very encouraging that there's been positive grade reconciliation during initial processing. The Company continues to see value created across the portfolio through ongoing investment by our partners.

We understand that Diba, an oxide and higher-grade ore body, is expected to significantly contribute to Allied's production at Sadiola, which is targeting production of 200,000-230,000 ounces per annum over the next two years, displacing lower-grade ore originally planned as mill feed. In addition, a significant Resource remains within Elemental's royalty area that is yet to be incorporated into the mine plan. We expect to materially benefit from Allied's continued resource definition, with the objective of increasing the current Resource and making new discoveries attributable to Elemental.

We look forward to our Diba royalty becoming a material contributor to the Elemental Altus portfolio in H2 2024 and beyond."

Sadiola (Diba) Gold Project, Western Mali

Elemental Altus' royalty on Allied's Sadiola gold mine covers a total area of 107km², including the Diba and Lakanfla satellite deposits (Figure 1). Sadiola is located in western Mali along the Senegal-Mali shear zone, approximately 450km northwest of the capital city of Bamako.

As of December 31, 2023, Diba has a Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve Estimate of 6.1 million tonnes at 1.43g/t Au for contained gold of 280,000 ounces, and a Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate of 8.8 million tonnes at 1.33g/t for 377,000 ounces of gold, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, both completed to CIM / NI 43-101 standards¹. Elemental Altus also retains ongoing exploration exposure to the additional satellite deposit, Lakanfla, which has a small historical Resource and has demonstrated potential for carbonate-hosted karst targets similar to those seen at the nearby gold deposits of Sadiola and Yatela.

Elemental Altus' sold the project to Allied in November 2023 for a sale consideration of cash, a royalty and staged payments. The royalty comprises:

• A 3% NSR royalty on the first 226,000 ounces produced from Diba

• A 2% NSR royalty on all production thereafter from both Diba and Lakanfla

Additional staged payments as part of the consideration include:

• US$1 million 90 days after commercial production

• US$2 million within 90 days of production of 100,000 ounces from the Diba deposit, and;

• Two US$1 million payments when cumulative production reaches each of 150,000 ounces and then 200,000 ounces from Diba
