Altius to Increase Shareholdings in Alderon

22.03.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alderon Iron Ore Corp. (TSX:IRON) ("Alderon" or the “Company”) announces that it has been notified by Altius Minerals Corp. (“Altius”) that Altius has agreed to acquire 18,797,454 common shares (“Common Shares”) of Alderon, from Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC (“Liberty”). After the conclusion of the transaction, Altius will own a total of 51,838,916 Common Shares, or approximately 39% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis. The shares will be acquired at a purchase price of $0.27 per share.

“I am pleased that Altius has decided to increase its stake in Alderon by acquiring the Liberty share position,” stated Tayfun Eldem, President & CEO of Alderon. “Altius clearly recognizes the opportunity at the Kami Project with the high-grade, low deleterious element iron ore that will be produced at Kami. Stricter environmental regulation has driven demand for superior quality iron ore, as it allows end users to improve productivity, reduce costs, and meet more stringent environmental standards. Altius has also recently made other investments in the Labrador Trough.”

Altius will acquire the Common Shares, through a private placement between Altius and Liberty, for investment purposes and may, from time to time, acquire additional Common Shares, dispose of some or all of the Common Shares, or continue to hold the Common Shares.

The Kami Project has been successfully released from both Federal and Provincial environmental assessment processes, exhibits robust economics, and will produce a premium product in high demand; these specifications highlight the project as a rare development opportunity in the iron ore mining industry.
