Commenting on the upcoming program Andrew Wusaty, President and CEO said, "The planned 2013 drill program will be initiated in the next several months and when completed the program results should enable the company to declare a new and expanded NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource for the Palisades property later this year. Along with the field program we are focused on laboratory testing for coal quality."

The drill program is targeting the Palisades Property which is located approximately 30 kilometres north of the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16) and adjacent to Highway 40 North, near Hinton, Alberta. Altitude's properties are in close proximity to CN rail which services the Grande Cache mine to the northwest. The drill targets in the proposed program were identified in the 2012 preliminary field assessment program carried out by Dahrouge Geological Consulting ( Dahrouge ) of Edmonton, Alberta. Dahrouge has been contracted to oversee and implement the proposed 2013 drill program.

Historical work in this area, reported as the "Hoff Property", included drilling programs first performed by Rio Tinto Canada (1969) and then Denison Mines (1982-83). A NI 43-101 technical report was carried out by Moose Mountain Technical Services (Moose Mountain) in November 2011 on the original Palisades property. The initial coal mineral resource estimate completed in 2011 for the Palisades property by Moose Mountain identified an inferred resource of approximately 10.7 million tonnes of low-volatile bituminous coal. Moose Mountain also identified an initial exploration target of approximately 140 million tonnes of low-volatile bituminous coal.
