Second Representative of La Mancha Appointed to the Board

Altus Strategies Plc (AIM: ALS, TSX-V: ALTS, OTCQX: ALTUF) announces the appointment of Mr Gérard De Hert as a non-executive director of the Company, effective immediately. Mr De Hert is Managing Director (Technical Services) at La Mancha Holding S.à r.l ("La Mancha"). His appointment is in accordance with the terms of the Strategic Investment Agreement between La Mancha and the Company ("SIA") approved by shareholders on 18 February 2020 (see Company announcement of 19 February 2020). Under the terms of the SIA, La Mancha has certain shareholder rights, including the option to appoint up to two non-executive directors to the board of the Company. On 6 April 2020, Mr Karim Nasr, Chief Executive of La Mancha, was appointed as La Mancha's first representative on the Altus board.

David Netherway, Chairman of Altus, commented:

"We are delighted with the appointment of Gérard De Hert to Altus' board. Gérard is the Technical Services MD at La Mancha and was a non-executive director of TSX-listed Golden Star Resources, until its recent US$ 470 million acquisition by Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining Co. in January of this year.

"Prior to joining La Mancha, Gérard held senior management positions with a number of Africa-focused multinational gold miners, including eight years with LSE-listed Endeavour Mining, where he held the role of Senior VP Exploration, prior to which he worked with IAMGOLD, AngloGold Ashanti and Randgold Resources (now Barrick Gold). Gérard's technical expertise in the exploration for and development of mines in Africa will be of considerable value to Altus as we continue to aggressively grow the business and specifically to our active gold exploration programmes across Mali and Egypt. On behalf of the board, I welcome Gérard as a director and look forward to working with him."
