Altona Mining : Cloncurry Project

24 July 2017 ASX: AOH, FSE: A2O

TERMINATION OF FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT WITH SICHUAN RAILWAY INVESTMENT GROUP CO,. LTD

Altona Mining Limited ("Altona" or "the Company") wishes to provide an update on the status of its proposed transaction with Sichuan Railway Investment Group Co., Ltd ("SRIG") for the funding of the Cloncurry Copper Project.

As announced on 3 July 2017, Altona granted an extension to 21 July 2017 for SRIG to obtain the necessary Chinese regulatory approvals to execute a Subscription Deed with Altona and its wholly owned subsidiary Roseby Copper Pty Ltd.

Altona is advised the regulator, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council of the Sichuan Province of the People's Republic of China, had not completed its assessment of the transaction and therefore could not provide SRIG with the necessary approvals by the deadline of 21 July 2017. Accordingly, SRIG has been unable to execute the Subscription Deed as previously agreed.

Altona has determined that it will not provide SRIG with a further extension to enable it to seek to the necessary approvals. Given this, the transaction under the Framework Agreement is now at an end, freeing Altona from its exclusivity with SRIG.

Altona now intends seeking an alternative transaction with a third party which will deliver value.

The Company retains a cash balance of A$36m, has no debt, and retains 100% ownership of the well- defined Cloncurry Project and its associated exploration opportunities.
