ALI Altitude Resources

Altitude Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ALI) is pleased to announce that it has
received formal Alberta Energy Regulator approval for a drill program on Elan
Coal Ltd.'s property located in southwestern Alberta, Canada. The coal
exploration program calls for the drilling of four to six core holes and for
specific coal quality analysis with an estimated budget of $1,500,000.

Commenting on the upcoming program Gene Wusaty, President and CEO said "The 2014
drill program is planned to commence later this year and is focused primarily on
establishing coal quality. Initial field sampling and historical drilling
indicates that the coal rank in the targeted drill program area is mid volatile
coal." 


Drill targets in the proposed program were identified in the fall 2013
preliminary field assessment program carried out by Dahrouge Geological
Consulting ("Dahrouge") of Edmonton, Alberta. Dahrouge is expected to oversee
the proposed Elan 2014 drill program. Altitude previously announced an initial
NI 43-101 compliant Coal Resource estimate comprising of 62 million tonnes
("Mt") in the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource category and 85Mt in the
Inferred Mineral Resource category. Dahrouge has identified a 726 Mt exploration
target for the Elan property. The largest component of the exploration target
tonnage is located in the Wildcat and Grassy North areas in the southern area of
the Elan property. The drill program is targeting this specific area which
extends for approximately 15 km northward along strike and is in close proximity
to existing rail infrastructure.

The Elan coal properties extend for 55 kms northward from Crowsnest Pass along
strike in the Kootenay Group coal formation. Five different areas of interest
with surface mineable potential have been identified from historic exploration
work carried out by companies including CONSOL, Devon Canada, Granby Mining,
CanPac Minerals, and Canadian Hunter dating back to the 1940's. More than 10
coal seams have been identified on the properties with thicknesses ranging from
3 to 10m. The Elan property has access to nearby rail and port infrastructure
with spare capacity. 


Altitude announced on August 12, 2013 that it had entered into an Exploration
and Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Elan a private Non-Arm's Length
party. Altitude is acquiring an option to earn up to a 51% undivided working
interest (the "Option") in 27 Alberta Crown coal lease applications (22,951 ha)
located near the historic coal mining area of Crowsnest Pass, Alberta. The
Agreement allows Altitude the right to enter upon and conduct exploration
activities in and on all parts of Elan's coal lease applications.


Gene Wusaty, President and CEO of Altitude, a qualified person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical
information in this release.
