Cajueiro: Strategic Partnership & Revenue Potential
TSX-V: ALTA
14
➢ In August of 2019, Altamira announced the signing of a binding agreement(1) with FMS Investimentos e Participacoes Ltda. (“FMS”) –an established Brazilian gold producer and strategic shareholder – to allow it to construct and operate a 1,000 tonne/day processingplant at Cajueiro for the purposes of small-scale gold production. The agreement provides several benefits for Altamira:
✓ Strengthens the existing strategic relationship between the company and FMS, a successful producer and in-country expert✓ Provides proof of concept, demonstrating the potential of the Cajueiro project to produce gold profitably✓ Enables Altamira to generate future cash flows without committing initial capital, reducing the need for dilutive financings
Key Agreement Details
• The agreement is a lease which allows FMS to exploit theweathered surface material over a defined area of ~600 ha;Altamira retains ownership of the underlying NI 43-101 resource
• FMS will be responsible for funding all the initial constructioncapital (expected to be ~US$2.4M) and ongoing operating costs
• Upon production, 70% of the net income will be allocated to payback construction capital; Altamira will be entitled to 15%
• Following payback, Altamira will earn 50% of net income
• Plant start-up is expected in mid-2020
(1) See press release dated August 8, 2019 (www.altamiragold.com/news)
About FMS
• Local Brazilian gold producer, 100% owner of two active open-pitmines in Mato Grosso State:
o Santa Clara: a 3,500 tpd mine currently producing ~1,750oz/month
o Salinas: a 10,000 tpd mine (recently expanded from 2,000 tpd)currently producing ~5,300 oz/month; US$40M invested
• Significant and supportive Altamira shareholder (9.8% ownership)
FMS’ Santa Clara mine hosts a newly-built and modern processing facility
FMS’ Salinas mine recently underwent an expansion to 10,000 tpd
Apiacás: A Highly Prospective Land Package
TSX-V: ALTA
15
➢ The Apiacás project is located due west of the Cajueiro project, and along the same trend
• Altamira holds a significant land package at Apiacás – with the February 2019 granting of an additional 42,000 hectaresbringing the total project area to over 80,000 hectares
➢ The property is known to be highly prospective, with historic placer mining having produced over 500 koz of gold

Apiacás: Multiple Untested Targets
TSX-V: ALTA
16
Gold-bearing disseminated pyrite mineralization at Mutum target
➢ The Apiacás land package is comprised of properties covering seven primary target areas
• None of these targets has ever been drilled out; trenching has returned values of over 5 g/t Au (up to a maximum of 118.7 g/t)
➢ Altamira’s near-term focus in on the Mutum target, which has shown widespread evidence of disseminated mineralization at surface
Apiacás: Mutum Target
TSX-V: ALTA
17
➢ The Mutum target area is characterized by widespread phyllic alteration and disseminated pyrite
• This surface alteration of granitic rocks extends over at least 4 square kilometers
➢ Mutum is estimated to have produced at least 90% of the estimated placer gold from the Apiacás district
➢ In June of 2019, Altarmira announced positive results from the initial surface rock sampling program
• Highlights included 12m @ 2.0 g/t Au in weathered rock with sections open in all directions, and rock grab sampling returnedgold values ranging from 0.5 – 96.6 g/t, with 75% of samples returning values greater than 0.5 g/t

Santa Helena: Porphyry Copper Potential
TSX-V: ALTA
18
➢ The Santa Helena project is located in the south-eastern portion of the belt and covers an area of over 58,000 hectares
➢ This is Altamira’s closest project to the newly-discovered copper porphyry at Anglo American’s Jaca target
• This demonstrated the area’s potential to host other similar deposits, and kicked off a staking rush by major mining companies
➢ This high-potential group of properties has never been the subject of any previous drilling
Jaca Discovery (<100km
northeast)
Santa Helena: Promising Signs at Surface
TSX-V: ALTA
19
➢ Santa Helena is largely characterized by gold mineralization on surface, which Altamira believes may be related to a larger concealedcopper porphyry system
• The current sampling program suggests the presence of a mineralized system with copper and gold values along a distance of 6kilometers east-west; 49 surface samples recently collected from four areas at Santa Helena returned copper values rangingfrom 0 to 0.81%, and gold values ranging from 0 to 171.6 g/t

Altamira: Unlocking Copper Upside
TSX-V: ALTA
20
➢ One of the primary means Altamira can use to unlock value and partiallymonetize the exciting copper potential at its properties, is to enter into JointVenture Agreements, or earn-in transactions, with one or more of the majormining companies looking for copper in the belt
➢ These structures can provide many significant benefits for Altamira:
✓ Cash compensation allows Altamira to free up valuable capital for otheractivities and reduces the need for additional dilution
✓ Leveraging Majors’ expertise and manpower; large-scale copperexploration is generally time-consuming and expensive, partnering witha larger company provides benefits otherwise unavailable
✓ Diversifying exploration risk and giving Altamira the ability to test moretargets all while remaining focused on high-priority gold properties
Anglo American’s Jaca discovery prompted a staking rush by majors

Negative Rates Between 0 and 1% Greater than 1%
Outer Ring: Nominal Yields | Inner Ring: Real Yields
➢ There are several significant prevailing themes that have provided important tailwinds for global gold demand✓ A sustained low interest rate environment: A large portion of global sovereign debt now carries negative real interest rates;
the U.S. Federal Reserve cut their benchmark rate in July 2019 for the first time in 11 years, with several banks forecastingadditional cuts on the horizon. As a non-yield-bearing instrument, the comparative cost of holding gold versus stocks orbonds decreases in a low-rate environment, making it more appealing for investors as a store of value.
✓ Central bank buying and ETF inflows: Central banks have continued to prop up demand for gold, purchasing 224 tonnes inQ2 2019, bringing the total for the first half of the year to 374 tonnes – the largest net H1 increase in global reserves in the 19years of data available (World Gold Council). Holdings of gold-backed ETFs grew 67 tonnes in Q2 to a six-year high of 2,548 t.
✓ Geopolitical uncertainty and currency devaluation: Factors such as the ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China andits detrimental effect on the global economy, the upcoming U.S. elections, and currency devaluation, should increase demandfor “safe-haven” investments such as gold

Source: BloombergNote: Aggregate figures based on Bloomberg-tracked transactions with values of >US$10M from 2000 to 2018; Energy metals include nickel, cobalt, lithium and vanadium
➢ In terms of both aggregate value and the number of transactions, gold leads the mining industry in mergers and acquisitions✓ The depth of the market and the amount of gold producers seeking to grow via acquisition provides Altamira with several
options for potential suitors, for both project-specific deals or a corporate-level transaction
➢ Altamira will also benefit from its exposure to copper, the second most transacted commodity

~ 4.8 Mt in new annual supply from uncommitted projects will
be required by 2028
• Primary Demand: Required mine production, taking into account scrapconsumption and smelter recoveries
• Probable Projects: Backed by a full feasibility study, and a high priority fordeveloping company
• Possible Projects: Early-stage projects at scoping, PEA, or PFS stage
The global copper market is set to experience much tighter supply and demand fundamentals over the coming decade
➢ Following years of underinvestment by major producers due tolow copper prices and constrained balance sheets, there are notenough early-stage projects in the development pipeline tosatisfy the anticipated supply gap post-2020 (using conservativedemand assumptions)
• In addition, many of the largest development projectsare located in geopolitically risky jurisdictions (4 out ofthe top 8 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo),potentially compounding the strain on global supply
➢ On the demand side of the equation, there are several keyemerging global themes which will continue to boost the needfor copper, including: increasing global urbanization, electricvehicles, and renewable energy
• Wood Mackenzie forecasts that the global electricvehicle industry will require 250% more copper in 2030vs. 2019 for charging stations alone
➢ These market dynamics should support higher long-term copperprices and encourage investment in building out developmentpipelines
• Prime exploration ground such as Altamira’s currentland package should command a premium in the market
