(TSX: ALS; OTCQX: ATUSF), which holds diversified royalties and streams that generate revenue from 15 operating mines, has qualified to trade on the OTCQX® Best Market.  Altius Minerals upgraded to OTCQX from the Pink® market.

"Altius Minerals' graduation to the OTCQX Best Market will enable the company to provide more efficient and transparent trading for investors," said Jason Paltrowitz, Executive Vice President of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group. "Upgrading to OTCQX from the Pink Market marks a significant milestone in the U.S. for international companies that seek to build visibility, liquidity and shareholder value. We are pleased to welcome Altius Minerals Corp. to the OTCQX Market."

Chad Wells, VP Business Development at Altius, commented, "Altius has recently emerged as the leading royalty business focused on the global diversified mining sector.  Altius provides investors with well-balanced exposure to copper, potash, premium iron ore and a variety of battery metals amongst other commodities. Following several opportunistic acquisitions while commodity prices traded at deep cyclical lows, it is now experiencing rapid growth of its high-margin royalty revenue on the strength of improved prices and mine output volumes. In addition, its project generation activities and pipeline of pre-production royalties offer excellent opportunities for further growth without significant capital investment requirements."

Altius Minerals was sponsored for OTCQX by J.P. Galda & Co., a qualified third-party firm responsible for providing guidance on OTCQX requirements and recommending membership.
