Altus Strategies Plc announced the results of preliminary metallurgical testwork undertaken on composite samples of fresh rock collected from core drilling at the FT Prospect of its Tabakorole gold project located in southern Mali. Exploration activities at Tabakorole are being funded by Marvel Gold Limited under its joint venture with Altus. Initial metallurgical testwork on fresh rock samples completed at Tabakorole, southern Mali Bottle roll tests on core samples from Diamond Drilling at the FT Prospect indicate: A straightforward, clean and non-refractory ore with low reagent consumption o High gold recoveries of 92.7% to 96.6% for grind sizes of 150 to 75 microns Project hosts a mineral deposit for which a Mineral Resource Estimate has been comprising: o 16,600,000 tonnes at 1.2 g/t Au for 620,000 ounces in the Inferred category 7,300,000 tonnes at 1.2 g/t Au for 290,000 ounces in the Indicated category 43% of the current MRE is situated within 100m of surface MRE is in accordance with the JORC Code, an acceptable foreign code for the purposes of NI 43-101 6,300m resource expansion Reverse Circulation drilling programme is underway Marvel has earned a 51% interest in the Project and paid Altus USD 200,000 in cash Marvel has commenced JV stage-3 to earn an aggregate 70% by expending USD 3M Altus holds a 2.5% Net Smelter Return gold production royalty on Tabakorole. A total of four composite samples were collected from four diamond drillholes completed by Marvel in mid-2020. The composites were made from the coarse split of diamond drilling samples based on the drillhole locations within the Tabakorole deposit and the head grade assay of the original samples. The composites targeted the current MRE grade of 1.2 g/t Au and ranged from 1.1 to 1.9 g/t Au. All samples were taken in fresh rock as this material represents approximately 90% of the Tabakorole MRE. Initial bottle roll testing is the industry standard first- step to determine gold recoveries from cyanide leaching. The ongoing RC drilling programme at Tabakorole undertaken by Marvel as part of the JV stage 3 earn-in, is expected to be complete by the end of January. The programme is designed to increase the existing resource by extending gold mineralisation along strike in both directions. There are also a number of holes within the existing 2.9km strike length of the FT Prospect which are designed to increase resource confidence or further delineate the interpreted high-grade plunging shoots within the orebody. High resolution ground magnetics followed by AC drilling undertaken by Marvel as part of the JV stage-1 earn-in at Tabakorole confirmed that gold mineralisation continues for at least 600m to the north-west along strike of the 2.9km long FT Prospect. The south-eastern extension is sparsely drilled and covered by low resolution magnetics. Marvel has collected high resolution ground magnetics over this area and plans to complete 8 RC holes to test the possible extension to the south-east. The deposit also remains open at depth, with 43% of the ounces in the MRE located within approximately 100m of surface. Marvel has the right to earn up to an 80% interest in Tabakorole by sole funding four stages of exploration, culminating in a definitive feasibility study, and by making certain cash payments to Altus. Thereafter, Altus has the right to co-fund or dilute its 20% interest in the Project. Altus will retain a 2.5% NSR royalty on the Project and Marvel will have the right to reduce the NSR to 1.0% for a payment to Altus of between USD 9.99M and USD 15.00M.
