Altus Strategies plc announced further significant gold intersections from reverse circulation drilling at the Company's 100% owned, 105 square kilometre ("km2") Diba & Lakanfla gold project in western Mali. The Lakanfla licence is located approximately 5 kilometres ("km") east of the Company's Diba licence. Both licences host numerous gold prospects, including a shallow-dipping, near-surface gold deposit (the "Diba Deposit").

RC drilling completed at 100% owned Diba & Lakanfla in western Mali Latest intersections from the Lakanfla Central prospect include (not true widths): 0.90 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au over 66 metres ("m") from 41m, 1.32 g/t Au over 26m from 85m, 2.21 g/t Au over 12m from 137m, 4.37 g/t Au over 6m from 32m. Latest intersections from the Diba NW prospect include (not true widths) 1.81 g/t Au over 10m from 256m, 0.60 g/t Au over 23m from 154m. The 11,832m drilling programme at the Project has been completed by Capital Drilling Limited and comprised 1,359m of diamond drilling ("DD"), 1,433m of air core ("AC") and 9,040m of RC drilling.

The most recent and final phase of drilling at Lakanfla comprised 3,848m of RC, testing a number of targets which could potentially contribute to a maiden MRE including:Lakanfla Central Prospec Twenty holes for a total of 3,283m were drilled. The prospect comprises a series of mineralised breccias within an altered granodiorite host with surrounding carbonate metasediments. Drilling targeted the prospect at depth and tested potential on strike extensions.

Zone 3 Prospect Three holes for a total of 390m were drilled. The prospect hosts mineralised breccia at surface and artisanal workings. Drilling tested the strike potential of the prospect.

Zone 4 Prospect. Two holes for a total of 175m were drilled in addition to a programme of trenching. The prospect hosts a number of high-grade gold in soil anomalies.

Drilling was undertaken to test strike potential. Diba & Lakanfla Project: Drilling Results.All assay results have now been received from the current programme at Diba & Lakanfla. The holes were drilled at between -50 to -70 degrees inclination and range between approximately 75m to 315m in length.

The drilling was orientated perpendicular to the interpreted structural orientation at Diba & Lakanfla.
