CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 30, 2024) - Altamira Gold Corp. (TSXV: ALTA) (FSE: T6UP) (OTC Pink: EQTRF) ("Altamira" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce further progress in the ongoing evaluation of porphyry-related gold mineralization within the Cajueiro project area.

Highlights:

• Fieldwork at the Espirro target, south of the Mombaque intrusive, located 3.2km south-east of the Maria Bonita porphyry gold discovery, has identified veined and altered porphyry intrusive rocks within an area of historic placer workings ("garimpo")

• Large blocks of float up to 50cm in size indicate a relatively short transport distance from source

• A magnetic low anomaly, identified from an airborne drone survey correlates well with the area of historic placer workings and has a similar appearance to the magnetic low covering the Maria Bonita porphyry

• The rock samples differ from those found to date within the Mombaque gold-in-soil anomaly and suggest that further porphyry subcrops may be concealed beneath the garimpo itself

CEO Mike Bennett commented: "Our mapping programmes are systematically evaluating the potential for sub-cropping elements of porphyry mineralization within the Cajueiro district, based on the known porphyry discovery at Maria Bonita. We recently identified a second intrusive porphyry system at the Mombaque target 1.6km east of Maria Bonita, and we believe that additional mineralized porphyry intrusives are present in a prospective corridor extending east-west. The samples recently found on surface at the Espirro target provide evidence for the presence of another sub-cropping intrusive porphyry system upstream of or beneath the Espirro placer gold workings. The historic placer workings extend over an area of 35 hectares indicating a significant primary source. Espirro is the third intrusive porphyry target so far identified within the Cajueiro project area. The presence of multiple intrusive porphyry systems at Cajueiro was predicted in June of this year by Dr. Richard Sillitoe, an industry leading consultant on porphyry systems, and our recent field work has validated that hypothesis."

CAJUEIRO PROJECT

The Cajueiro project is located approximately 75km NW of the town of Alta Floresta in the state of Mato Grosso (Figure 1) in central western Brazil and is easily accessible by road and has grid power and a local water supply. Cajueiro is the most advanced of three key projects that Altamira controls in the region, the other two being Apiacas and Santa Helena (Figure1).

The Cajueiro project has current NI 43-101 resources of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category and 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000 oz in the Inferred Resource category (estimated using a gold price of US$1,500/oz)*.

Maria Bonita Target

Maria Bonita is a new discovery of a primary porphyry gold deposit, located 7km west of the existing Cajueiro gold deposit. It is easily accessible by road and the surface rights have been acquired by the Company. Significant results, previously reported from two phases of diamond drilling are shown in Table 1 and include:

Espirro Target

The Espirro target is located 3.2km south-east of the Maria Bonita gold porphyry and 1.5km due south of the Mombaque target (Figure 2). The area forms a flat valley bottom that has been extensively worked for alluvial placer gold. The area of historic placer gold workings measures approximately 1,200m by 300m wide and trends north-east along the valley. There are several other areas of placer gold workings with a similar north-east trend in the Cajueiro area (see Figure 2).

A drone magnetic survey (Figure 3) shows a pronounced magnetic low that is coincident with the area of historic placer workings at Espirro and float blocks of highly altered porphyritic intrusive rocks with intense quartz veining were located as shown in Figure 3. A similar magnetic feature characterises the Maria Bonita mineralized porphyry system and is thought to relate to a broad zone of hydrothermal alteration associated with the porphyry intrusion.

Float samples of veined felsic porphyry from the Espirro target are shown in Figures 3 and 4. They include networks of 'A' type veins similar to those observed within the mineralized sections of the Maria Bonita porphyry.

Samples have been submitted for chemical analysis and results will be reported upon receipt.

The ongoing field mapping, coupled with the use of drone magnetics and airborne radiometrics is successfully generating new targets that were not readily identified by earlier soil geochemical surveys. These targets are premised on a porphyry-style setting potentially being partially covered by thin older volcanic rocks (Mombaque) or by shallow historic placer workings (Espirro).
