JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND--(Marketwired - Jun 12, 2014) - Altius Minerals Corporation ("Altius" or the "Company") (TSX:ALS) is pleased to announce its current Chairman, John Baker, QC, has agreed to accept the newly created full time position of Executive Chairman with Altius effective June 30, 2014. John was a co-founder of Altius in 1997 and has been the Chairman of the Board since 2005.

Brian Dalton, Altius' President and CEO commented, "We have all worked with John for several years in a non-executive capacity but during the past year as the overall workload and opportunities before Altius increased dramatically, he was called upon to take on a more active role in operations and negotiations. John's contributions of talent and effort during this period delivered tremendous complementary benefits and greatly enhanced our collective ability to successfully execute on several strategic goals. His appointment has been met with unanimous enthusiasm and excitement by the board, management and staff. As a fellow co-founder of Altius, John has demonstrated tremendous passion, integrity and work ethic in contributing to its development and growth since 1997. This new role as a full-time member of the management team is a natural one and we whole-heartedly welcome this opportunity to work even more closely with John as our current and future goals and objectives are met."
