CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov 14, 2013) - Altitude Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ALI) ("Altitude" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the 2013 Palisades drilling program and the Elan field reconnaissance.

The Palisades drilling program was started on August 15, 2013 and was completed on September 30, 2013. A total of 30 holes were drilled out of - 27 rotary and three core - for a total of 4,583 meters. Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. ("Dahrouge") of Edmonton, Alberta was contracted to oversee the drilling. In addition to the thirty drill holes, channel sampling was conducted from seven near surface trenches. Samples were shipped to Birtley Laboratory in Calgary for washability analysis. Clean coal from this process will be sent to Pearson Coal Petrography for coal rank classification. A total of seven coal seam core samples were submitted for proximate analysis, gravity separation and complete coking tests. Although the trench samples are oxidized, they will be used for rank determination only. Results are expected before the end of the year.

At the Elan property in the Crowsnest Pass area of southern Alberta, Dahrouge completed a two week reconnaissance program in mid-October which was carried out on the Wildcat and Grassy North areas of the property. The objective was to plan out the drill hole locations for the upcoming drill program planned for 2014. Coal quality determination is the primary objective of this upcoming program. Altitude will be applying for a drilling permit from the Alberta Government in the next several weeks.

Commenting on the activities, President and CEO, Gene Wusaty said, "We are very pleased with our ongoing exploration activities at both our Palisades and Elan projects. All the work done in these initial phases at Palisades and Elan will provide the basis for the requirements for 2014 drilling, coal quality and exploration programs."

The Palisades Property is located approximately 30 kilometres north of the Yellowhead Highway (Hwy 16) and 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. Historical work in this area, reported as the "Hoff Property", included drilling programs first by Rio Tinto Canada (1969) and then Denison Mines (1982-83). A National Instrument (NI) 43-101 study was carried out by Moose Mountain Technical Services in November 2011 on the original Palisades property. Coal rank is low volatile. Altitude also owns the Palisades Extension, Moberly Creek and Altitude North properties which are in the initial stages of exploration. The properties have access to rail and port infrastructure with spare capacity.

As announced on August 12, 2013 Altitude entered into an Exploration and Option Agreement with Elan Coal Ltd., a private Non-Arm's Length Party. Altitude has an option to earn up to a 51% undivided working interest in Elan's 27 Alberta Crown coal lease applications which cover a 22,951 ha area. The Agreement allows Altitude the right to enter upon and conduct exploration activities in and on all parts of the Leases. An initial NI 43-101 Coal Resource estimate was calculated comprising of 62 million tonnes ("Mt") in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource categories and 84Mt in the Inferred Mineral Resource category. A 726Mt exploration target for the Elan property has been identified. The Elan property is located in southwestern Alberta near the historic coal mining municipality of Crowsnest Pass and adjacent to Riversdale's recently purchased Grassy Mountain coal project. The property can be accessed by driving north from Crowsnest Pass on secondary roads. Elan has access to rail and port infrastructure with spare capacity. Coal rank is low to mid volatile.

Gene Wusaty, Altitude's Chairman, a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical information in this release.
