In addition, the Corporation holds investments in junior exploration and development stage companies. The Company prefers to generate partnerships or corporate structures related to the opportunities it generates, which results in the Corporation carrying minority and non-operating project or equity interests and/or royalty interests. Since inception in 1997, our business model and operating philosophy have consistently delivered increased value for shareholders of Altius through cyclical market conditions. The company has built a solid reputation around its percentage of successful mineral project generation initiatives that it intends to further build upon. While the market sentiment for the natural resources sector was somewhat turbulent in 2009 our Company is well prepared to embrace the opportunities of market volatility and/or a down-cycle. Going forward Altius intends to grow its business through its; 1) organic mineral exploration business focused in eastern Canada, 2) exportation of its proven prospect generator business model to other choice jurisdictions, and 3) to prudently deploy its capital in royalty-like investment opportunities throughout the minerals sector. Altius prospered through the last bear cycle because its business plan inherently preserves capital structure and manages risk, thus there are many reasons to be optimistic about the future of Altius and its expanding business strategy.

X-Terra believes the Utica shales exhibit excellent rock properties comparable to established shale gas plays like the Barnett Shale play in Texas. The economics of the Utica shales could be more attractive than other similar shale gas plays because of its shallower depth and close proximity to northeastern gas markets.With the improvement in horizontal drilling and completion techniques, shale gas development has now become economically viable. The Utica shale gas play in Québec is unique with the presence of several juniors that initially established large land positions in the basin. There is significant leverage for successful development of the play through the junior companies involved.Among the seven juniors that are exposed to the Utica shale gas play in Québec, we believe X-Terra offers a very good upside leverage through its acreage holding in the “sweet-spot” of the Utica shales.
