Legend and Altus Strategies Announce Completion of Arrangement

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 29, 2018) - Legend Gold Corp. (TSXV: LGN) (the "Company" or "Legend") is pleased to announce that all conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived in respect of the completion of the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") between the Company and Altus Strategies Plc ("Altus"), a UK-based project generator with a portfolio of projects in Africa and listed in London on AIM (ALS).

The arrangement agreement set out the terms and conditions pursuant to which Altus acquired through an all-stock transaction the entire issued and outstanding common shares of LGN Holdings (BVI) Inc. ("LGN") being the owner of the Legend Projects, by way of a plan of arrangement pursuant to the laws of British Columbia.

Under the Arrangement, Legend will distribute the common shares in Altus ("Altus Shares") it receives, to Legend shareholders on the basis of three Altus Shares for each common share they hold in Legend ("Legend Shares"). The holders of outstanding warrants of Legend ("Legend Warrants") will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their securities, the number of Altus Shares which the holders would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Arrangement, if immediately prior to the effective date the holders had exercised their Legend Warrants.

Legend sought the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia for the Arrangement and the Final Order was obtained on January 23, 2018.

In connection with the Arrangement, it is anticipated that Legend Shares will be halted following closing pending de-listing from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") and applications will made for the Company to cease to be a reporting issuer in the applicable jurisdictions. Altus has submitted an application for a dual listing of its shares on the TSX-V.

Michael Winn, Chief Executive and Chairman of Legend, commented:

"We are delighted to announce the imminent completion of the plan of arrangement with Altus. On behalf of the board I would like to thank Legend shareholders for their overwhelming support."

Steven Poulton, Chief Executive of Altus, commented:

"The completion of the plan of arrangement will be a transformational and accretive milestone for both Legend and Altus. The enlarged project generator company will offer shareholders direct exposure to a robust and well managed portfolio of nineteen projects at different stages of advancement, diversified by six commodities, across five countries and with two active joint venture partnerships. We believe the project generator model represents an optimal strategy for investors to participate in the potentially significant returns that can be made from making economic mineral discoveries, while mitigating a number of the potential financial, technical, managerial or geopolitical risks that can impact explorers that are heavily focused on just one or two assets. Our application and other preparations required for a dual listing of our shares on the TSX-V are underway and we will provide an update on this process in due course. In the meantime we look forward to welcoming Legend's shareholders and team to Altus."
