Vancouver - ALTAIR RESOURCES INC. ('ALTAIR' or the Company') (TSX-V: AVX; Germany FRA: 90A; ISIN: CA02137W2004; WKN: WKN A2ALMP) Mr. George S. Young, Chairman & CEO is pleased to provide the following announcement in regard to the Company and its ongoing acquisition and development activities.
Kazakhstan Opportunities
The Company continues to pursue the acquisition and spin off of the Kazakhstan projects as described in the Company's January 24, 2022 press release. With the passage of time occasioned by a number of legal due diligence issues and events in the region and around the world affecting the financial markets, the Sellers have sent correspondence to Altair relating to the performance of the parties under the Preliminary Purchase Agreement. Sellers have taken the position that Altair has not moved forward with the transaction under the time frames required under the agreement and have sent a notice purporting to terminate the agreement but remain willing to continue to work with Altair to complete the transaction on a non-exclusive basis. Altair is disputing the Sellers' position and believes that the Sellers cannot unilaterally terminate the agreement, particularly given the difficulties over the past year in financing in the region and in the world generally and given the due diligence issues.
Burkina Faso
In furtherance of its press release dated April 7, 2022 in connection with the Company's planned acquisition of the Marbera project in Burkina Faso, an advanced exploration project with over 387,000 meters of previous drilling, the Company is pleased to further announce that it is retaining counsel in Burkina Faso to review and advise on the draft Sale and Purchase Agreement now being finalized between the parties. The agreement will be subject to regulatory approval in Canada and license transfer approvals in Burkina Faso. The Company is also pursuing other acquisition opportunities in Burkina Faso with an expectation that the business environment will improve in the short term.
Simon Property, Nevada
The Company and Millennium Silver Corp, through its wholly owned Nevada subsidiary, International Millennium Mining Inc ('Millennium') have negotiated new letter agreement terms with respect to the Simon Property located in the Walker Lane Trend, Nevada. While the total amount of Company shares to be issued to Millennium and total work expenditure commitment have not changed, the details with respect to annual share payments and work commitments have been adjusted over the six-year period.
Corporate Governance
Mr. James Walker has resigned as a director of the Company to pursue other opportunities. The Company would like to thank Mr. Walker for his services and wish him well in his future endeavors. The Board is considering a number of qualified replacements to appoint as a new Director.
In addition, the Company has appointed Mr. Nicholas F. Jeffery to its Advisory Board.

Nicholas has broad and significant experience in investment banking, internet of things (IOT), Web3 technology and corporate growth with a focus on proposition development, big data and marketing.

The Company is evaluating options for financing its acquisitions through institutional and other alternative financing entities being sourced by Mr. Jeffery covering Africa and Central Asia.
George S. Young said 'We are pleased to add diverse talents and experience to our Advisory Board, and to advance with the acquisition of the Marbera project and other acquisition opportunities. We are excited now to press forward to the closing of the acquisition and to commencing work on a PEA while we also look to progress with our other transactions. We believe we are well positioned to deliver exemplary value to our shareholders.'
