Potash Fertilizer and Sustainable Food Production

TSX: ALS | OTCQX: ATUSF

Global potash demand has grown by almost 30M mt over past 20

year in reflection of population growth and decreasing per capita

arable land (higher agricultural yield requirements)

Compounding growth rate projections suggest global demand could

increase by 21M mt by 2030

Our royalty mines represented ~22% of global potash shipments in

2020 and since our initial acquisition in 2014 these have collectively

increased production rates by ~37% (or 5.4% per year)

Mines produced at 66% of combined nameplate capacities in 2020

implying potential for up to 50% further production growth to reach

recently completed nameplate capacity expansion levels

Extensive resources exist on Altius royalty lands that could support

further operator capacity expansions to meet future expected

market demand growth

Metals Essential to the Electrification Transition

TSX: ALS | OTCQX: ATUSF

Lithium Nickel Cobalt

Intense electrification and decarbonization of the world’s industrial and consumer energy requirements is underway - with the shift as it relates to

transportation particularly dramatic

The world requires much greater supplies of several key metals to meet its electrification ambitions and Altius has built a large portfolio of royalties in mining

projects that can meet this challenge

Cleaner Steel Making from High-Purity Iron Ore

TSX: ALS | OTCQX: ATUSF

Focused on high purity forms of iron ore that allow more efficient steel making processes and significantly reduced (and eliminated in some cases) per unit coal usage\emissions

Quality benefits result in strong demand and premium pricing

The Labrador Trough produces amongst the highest purity iron ore in the world and has significant resource and infrastructure capacity for future growth

Royalty exposure to the Rio Tinto operated IOC mine and Champion’s advanced stage Kami project in the Labrador Trough

The relative impurity content of 58% vs 66% grade iron ore is almost 3 times higher
