announce the results of an independently assessed maiden mineral resource estimate for the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit within the Cajueiro Project the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource (previously reported under NI 43-101) CEO Mike Bennett commented; "We are thrilled with the maiden mineral resource estimate for our Maria Bonita project This is a transformational step forward for the company and together with the existing resources at Cajueiro doubles Altamira's Indicated and Inferred resource base The mineralization at Maria Bonita is notably coherent and regular with higher grades returned from near surface material Coupled with our portfolio of nine drill-ready targets within the Cajueiro district we now have an excellent opportunity to add to these resources through both the expansion of the defined mineral resources at both Maria Bonita and Cajueiro Central and additional discoveries of porphyry-related mineralization in the district We will be mobilising a drill rig shortly to continue testing of the extensions to the Maria Bonita mineralization and our district targets We look forward to the continued delineation of the deposit and unlocking the potential of the other eight targets."

"Panel") had determined to delist the Company's common shares from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") due to the Company's failure to comply with Rule 5550(a)(2) of Nasdaq’s Listing Rules The Rule requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share The Company's common shares will be delisted from Nasdaq at the open of trading on December 20 2024 and are expected to then begin trading on the OTCQB marketplace under the ticker symbol “CYTOF” ensuring uninterrupted market activity for its shareholders Shareholders will not need to take any action OTCQB is one of three marketplaces for trading over-the-counter (OTC) stocks operated by the OTC Markets Group the Company had received a delisting notification from Nasdaq on September 30 2024 and filed an appeal with the Panel to present its plan for regaining compliance The Panel denied the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq “While we are disappointed by the Panel’s decision which is a well-established and large marketplace for emerging growth companies,” commented Thomas Meyer “The transition from Nasdaq to OTCQB will allow us to focus on growing the Company based on our exciting

plays Department of Energy (DOE) is allowing New Fortress Energy Inc to export up to 1.4 million metric tons/year of LNG to non-free trade agreement (FTA) countries from its recently commissioned Fast LNG facility in Mexico marking the first non-FTA permit granted this year DOE staff noted ongoing concerns about U.S including an ongoing study into the impacts of gas exports but ultimately concluded Fast LNG’s shipments to the international market were in the public interest “DOE is continuing to monitor market developments closely as the impact of successive authorizations of LNG exports and re-exports unfolds,” agency staff wrote in the order “DOE also acknowledges that proposals to re-export U.S.-sourced natural gas in the form of LNG from Mexico or Canada to non-FTA countries raise public interest considerations that are not present for domestic exports of LNG.” After becoming the first new North American LNG project to ship a commissioning cargo this year NFE’s project has also become the first test of DOE’s response to a recent court ruling In January, the Biden administration ordered DOE to halt considerations for pending non-FTA export permits while agency researchers compiled a market study on how the expansion of U.S LNG export capacity since 2016 has impacted domestic fundamentals Six months later, a federal court ruled that DOE overstepped its authority by halting the permit review process and ordered the agency to restart considerations for non-FTA licenses the decision initially raised more questions than answers as DOE retained most of its power to determine how long a review process can take The facility offshore of the Altamira coast was one of at least seven commercially advanced projects in the United States and Mexico that had a pending application for a non-FTA permit impacted by DOE’s pause on new authorizations NFE previously requested to re-export 145 Bcf/year, or 400 MMcf/d, from Texas through Altamira until 2050. It received partial authorization last March and an updated environmental assessment in December DOE permitted Fast LNG’s non-FTA shipments until 2029 NFE could request a review to extend the permitted term through 2050 once it has a “more complete record” to evaluate export projects Non-FTA authorization is usually considered essential for large-scale LNG export projects because of the flexibility in the customer base While an FTA permit gives an exporter access to customers in 20 countries including Asian buyers in Singapore and South Korea non-FTA approval makes far more demand centers available and makes a project more attractive to financial backers and large portfolio players With the first cargo from Fast LNG 1 nearing its destination in southern Baja California and a non-FTA permit secured CEO Wes Edens said NFE is a step closer to expanding its reach in the global market as it grows LNG export capacity in Mexico “This important authorization cements NFE’s position as a leading global vertically integrated gas-to-power company and enhances the marketability of our FLNG 1 asset,” Edens said “NFE is now able to freely supply cheaper and cleaner natural

company will continue trading under the ticker symbol CYTOF on the OTCQB platform ensuring uninterrupted market activity for shareholders with no action required Altamira had previously received a delisting notification on September 30 and appealed to present its compliance plan Altamira Therapeutics ha annunciato la sua transizione dal NASDAQ al mercato OTCQB a seguito di un avviso di delisting ricevuto dal Nasdaq Hearings Panel il 18 dicembre 2024 è dovuto al mancato rispetto del prezzo minimo di offerta richiesto di $1,00 per azione ai sensi della Regola 5550(a)(2) del Nasdaq L'azienda continuerà a essere quotata con il simbolo CYTOF sulla piattaforma OTCQB assicurando un'attività di mercato continua per gli azionisti senza necessità di alcuna azione Altamira aveva precedentemente ricevuto una notifica di delisting il 30 settembre 2024 e aveva presentato appello per esporre il proprio piano di conformità che è stato successivamente respinto dal Panel Altamira Therapeutics anunció su transición del NASDAQ al mercado OTCQB tras recibir un aviso de deslistado del Panel de Audiencias de Nasdaq el 18 de diciembre de 2024 efectivo a partir del 20 de diciembre de 2024 se debe a la incapacidad de la compañía para mantener el precio mínimo de oferta requerido de $1.00 por acción según la Regla 5550(a)(2) de Nasdaq La empresa continuará cotizando bajo el símbolo

발효되는 이 상장 폐지는 회사가 나스닥의 규정 5550(a)(2)에 따른 주당 최소 입찰가 $1.00을 유지하지 못한 결과입니다 회사는 OTCQB 플랫폼에서 CYTOF라는 티커 기호로 계속 거래될 예정이며 준수 계획을 제출하기 위해 항소했지만 궁극적으로 위원회에 의해 거부되었습니다 Altamira Therapeutics a annoncé sa transition du NASDAQ vers le marché OTCQB suite à un avis de radiation émis par le panel d'audition du Nasdaq le 18 décembre 2024 est due au non-respect du prix d'offre minimum requis de 1,00 $ par action conformément à la règle 5550(a)(2) du Nasdaq L'entreprise continuera d'être cotée sous le symbole CYTOF sur la plateforme OTCQB garantissant une activité de marché ininterrompue pour les actionnaires sans qu'aucune action ne soit requise Altamira avait auparavant reçu une notification de radiation le 30 septembre 2024 et avait fait appel pour présenter son plan de conformité dass es vom NASDAQ zum OTCQB-Markt wechselt Dezember 2024 eine Abmeldung durch das Nasdaq Hearings Panel erhalten hatte Dezember 2024 in Kraft und resultiert aus der Nichterfüllung des erforderlichen Mindestangebotspreises von $1,00 pro Aktie gemäß der Regel 5550(a)(2) von Nasdaq Das Unternehmen wird weiterhin unter dem Tickersymbol CYTOF auf der OTCQB-Plattform gehandelt wodurch den Aktionären eine ununterbrochene Marktaktivität ohne erforderliche Maßnahmen gewährleistet wird September 2024 eine Abmeldbenachrichtigung erhalten und hatte Berufung eingelegt The delisting from NASDAQ to OTCQB represents a significant downgrade in Altamira Therapeutics' market status and visibility lower institutional investor participation and potentially higher trading spreads The company's inability to maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement signals underlying financial challenges The decision to avoid a reverse stock split doesn't address the fundamental issue of low market valuation the company's small size and OTC status may limit its ability to raise capital efficiently this transition typically means increased trading difficulty potentially higher transaction costs and fewer broker-dealers willing to make markets in the stock In simpler terms: Think of this like a store moving from a premium shopping mall (NASDAQ) to a less prominent location (OTCQB) it gets less foot traffic and might find it harder to attract premium customers and secure financing Hear@altamiratherapeutics.com (“Altamira” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:CYTO) today provided a business update and reported its first half 2024 financial results "We are excited to continue to gain momentum with our new core activities in RNA delivery," commented Thomas Meyer recently published in a top-ranking scientific journal show dramatic reductions in sarcoma and breast cancer growth following treatment with Zbtb46 mRNA delivered with our SemaPhore nanoparticle technology The antitumor effect was further augmented when combined with anti-PD1 treatment These impressive outcomes add to the growing body of evidence supporting the great potential of RNA therapeutics and the ability of our platform to deliver RNA molecules effectively and safely into target cells outside the liver especially in cancer and inflammatory diseases.”   Meyer added: “We are progressing with the development of both the OligoPhore and the SemaPhore platforms as well as with our AM-401 and AM-411 flagship programs in KRAS driven cancers and in rheumatoid arthritis benefiting from our new access to laboratory space at the Switzerland Innovation Park in the Basel area we are evaluating our platforms for use in cardiac regeneration and for mRNA vaccines in joint projects with two partners and pursuing additional collaboration opportunities with other pharma and biotech companies we keep working towards completion of our strategic repositioning around RNA delivery through partnering of our legacy assets in inner ear therapeutics thanks to the recent public offering of shares we have been able to strengthen our financial position for our transition to a much less capital-intensive business model based on contract development and licensing of our RNA delivery technology.”   Research and development activities in Altamira’s core business of RNA delivery – built on its peptide based OligoPhore™ and SemaPhore™ nanoparticle platforms – continue to progress The key focus is on nanoparticle formulation and process development around the platforms the evaluation and development of nanoparticles for delivery of specific siRNA or mRNA payloads for collaboration partners and the two flagship programs AM-401 or AM-411 for treatment of KRAS driven cancers and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) Evidence for the effectiveness and versatility of Altamira’s RNA delivery platforms keeps growing as shown by two recent scientific publications:  Altamira’s own development work has resulted in significant enhancement of nanoparticle stability which has been one of the key challenges in the handling and transport of RNA formulations Thanks to its new flow process production method the Company obtained formulations of OligoPhore nanoparticles which are stable in liquid form when stored at 4°C for a period of at least one month able to withstand shaking stress without significant physicochemical changes The ability of nanoformulations to maintain their attributes during shaking stress is essential for transportation and one of the key limitations of lipid nanoparticles the most common type of RNA delivery vehicles For its proprietary development programs AM-401 and AM-411 Altamira filed in the first half of 2024 patent applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office These aim to complement the existing intellectual property and extend the duration of protection coverage of different KRAS mutations in cancer treatment with nanoparticles comprising the OligoPhore platform and a single siRNA sequence In vitro data confirmed the ability of polyKRASmut siRNA to knock down KRAS carrying the following mutations: G12C which account for the majority of KRAS mutations in pancreatic coverage of nanoparticles comprising siRNA sequences targeting the p65 protein a component of the NF-κB transcription factor Activation of p65 has been observed in multiple types of cancer as well as in many inflammatory diseases p65 is a well-known key checkpoint in RA inflammation and thought to regulate cell proliferation The Company aims to advance both AM-401 and AM-411 to an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2026 and to out-license them either following the IND or after a Phase 1 clinical trial at the latest Altamira is pursuing with the RNA delivery business a ‘picks and shovels’ strategy based on the licensing of its platform technology to partners in the biotech and pharma industry for use in their own RNA drug product development programs The first such collaborations have been set up: Upon positive outcomes from these evaluations Altamira and its partners intend to discuss and negotiate licensing agreements Through its business development activities the Company is pursuing additional collaboration opportunities with other pharma and biotech companies The Company’s associate Altamira Medica AG (“Medica”) made further progress on implementing its growth strategy with Bentrio® With two of its international distributors it recently agreed on the expansion of their exclusive distribution territories: discussions and negotiations for distribution in the US The efficacy and safety of Bentrio has been demonstrated in a total of four clinical trials Results from the largest among them (the “NASAR” study) which enrolled 100 patients suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis in Australia were recently published in a peer reviewed article in one of the leading scientific journals in allergology.3 In NASAR participants self-administered either Bentrio or saline nasal spray for two weeks 3 times per day The study showed a statistically significant reduction in the mean daily reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) for Bentrio compared to saline (p = 0.013) as well as a statistically highly significant improvement in health-related quality of life (Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire p < 0.001) and superior global ratings of efficacy by patients and investigators alike (p < 0.001) Bentrio showed good safety and tolerability and fewer Bentrio treated patients used relief medication and more of them enjoyed symptom-free days compared to saline treatment In the context of its strategic pivot towards RNA delivery Altamira divested in November 2023 a 51% stake in Medica to a Swiss private equity investor for a cash consideration of approximately $2.3 million Altamira will be entitled to receive 25% of the future licensing income of Medica and of Medica’s value appreciation in case of a sale which captures an additional share of the business’ upside potential Altamira continues to work towards the partnering of its inner ear therapeutics assets which – in the traditional oral formulation – is the standard of care treatment for vertigo in many countries around the world A phase 2 clinical trial in Europe demonstrated that a four-week treatment course with AM-125 in AVS patients was well tolerated and helped to accelerate vestibular compensation enabling patients to regain balance and recover faster where oral betahistine exceptionally has not been marketed for decades Altamira received in summer 2023 IND clearance from the FDA for a phase 2 clinical trial in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) BPPV accounts for 17 to 42% of all diagnosed cases; U.S healthcare costs associated with the diagnosis of BPPV alone approach $2 billion per year.4 Continued simplification of group structure Following the partial divestiture of the Bentrio activities in late 2023 Altamira has continued its efforts to simplify its corporate structure and align it with the strategic repositioning around its RNA delivery platform The Company transferred its Irish subsidiary Auris Medical Ltd to Altamira Medica AG and merged two of its subsidiaries in Basel (Switzerland) Auris Medical AG and Altamira Therapeutics AG The merged entity is called Altamira Therapeutics AG and continues to serve as the core operating subsidiary of the Company the Altamira Group comprises the parent company Altamira Therapeutics Ltd and its subsidiaries Altamira Therapeutics AG (Basel Switzerland) as well as the associated company Altamira Medica AG (Basel First Half 2024 Financial Results and Outlook Following the partial divestiture of the Bentrio

Essential news coupled with the finest maritime content sourced from across the globe The SOD2 mRNA delivered with SemaPhore technology showed improved survival rates for mice with abdominal aortic aneurysm A new published study has shown that Altamira Therapeutics‘ SemaPhore technology used with superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) mRNA has successfully treated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a mouse model Preclinical data showed a significant reduction in aorta dilation and a highly significant improvement in survival rates compared to untreated controls in mice with AAA who had been treated with SOD2 mRNA delivered systemically with peptide-based nanoparticles Altamira’s SemaPhore technology uses nanoparticles to deliver mRNA – specific genetic instructions – into cells These nanoparticles protect the mRNA as it travels through the body and help it enter the target cells An AAA is a localised enlargement of the lower part of the aorta the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body This can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding if it ruptures SOD2 is an enzyme that reduces harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS) high ROS levels cause inflammation and damage to the artery wall which can slow AAA progression and prevent rupture The company was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Hamilton It currently has two preclinical siRNA programmes which use its SemaPhore technology: AM-401 for KRAS-driven cancer and AM-411 for rheumatoid arthritis Altamira’s chief scientific officer and co-author of the study Samuel Wicklin said: “Using SOD2 mRNA to modulate oxidative stress appears a very promising approach in various challenging cardiovascular disorders such as abdominal aortic aneurysm or atherosclerosis and in other inflammatory or degenerative disease where ROS is a critical disease driver.” Don’t let policy changes catch you off guard Stay proactive with real-time data and expert analysis A spotlight has been on nanomedicine following the

maker resumed titanium dioxide production at its Altamira facility after Tropical Storm Alberto brought relief amid the country’s ongoing drought Retrieved from The Chemours Co The Chemours Co. resumed titanium dioxide production at its facility in Altamira, Mexico, after the local government lifted water intake restrictions, the chemical maker stated in a June 24 release Last month, the Mexico state of Tamaulipas’ government requested Chemours and other manufacturers in the Altamira area to minimize their water intake due to the country’s ongoing drought The restrictions affected at least six chemical company facilities in the area senior manager of global risk intelligence at software risk tracking company Everstream Analytics some of the affected chemical makers sent force majeure notices to their customers petrochemical company Saudi Basic Industries Corp. polymer producers M&G Polimeros and Vestolit and chemical company Cabot Corp However, Cabot plans to resume production of carbon black additives at its Altamira site soon, Plastics News reported Despite the ongoing drought, rains from Tropical Storm Alberto brought some relief to the affected area,

Dive for top news Want to share a company announcement with your peers The free newsletter covering the top industry headlines on the banks of the Xingu River (a tributary of the Amazon) is a geographic colossus that fascinates both for its vast territorial expanse and its natural and cultural wealth it is the largest municipality in Brazil and until 2009 it was the largest municipal subdivision in the world This extensive area is larger than 104 countries or the states of Florida and Missouri in the United States The title of the largest municipal subdivision in the world is now held by Qaasuitsup in Greenland with an impressive area of 660,000 square kilometers which even eclipses the vastness of Altamira The largest city in the world is considered to be the Chinese Hulunbuir almost the same size as the entire state of Texas although it is not very clear whether this corresponds to the city itself or its jurisdictional area encompassing 12.8% of Pará’s territory the area was inhabited by nomadic and semi-nomadic indigenous peoples The formal foundation of the city dates back to the 18th century with the creation of the Tavaquara Jesuit mission Altamira became a hub for rubber extraction and trade of Amazonian products so did its connections with the rest of the region agriculture and commerce play crucial roles in its economy the most significant change came with the construction of the Belo Monte Dam the fourth-largest hydroelectric dam in the world In terms of generation capacity, it is the third largest in the world with 11,233 GW, after the Three Gorges Dam in China, and the Itaipu Dam between Brazil and Paraguay It is widely known that the name Altamira comes from Spanish which still retained the Jesuit name Tavaquara was dominated by a merchant named Francisco Gayoso who during one of his trips to Europe heard about the newly discovered Altamira Cave in Cantabria (Spain) which contained astonishing cave paintings The vast expanse of Altamira hosts impressive biodiversity Part of its territory includes protected areas such as the Altamira National Forest which are vital for the conservation of the Amazon and its countless species a rainy season extending from November to June high temperatures are a constant throughout the year favoring lush vegetation that defines the region’s landscape Altamira has been in the news worldwide in recent years for negative records such as being the most violent city in Brazil strong opposition to the construction of the dam and the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest This article was first published on our Spanish Edition on June 7, 2024: Altamira, la ciudad brasileña cuyo territorio es más grande que 104 países Cantabria (Spain) has concluded that some of the artworks it contains could be much older… energy infrastructure player New Fortress Energy (NFE) is putting the wheels in motion to hit a new milestone at its floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) unit off the coast of Altamira Following the start of production at its first Fast LNG installation New Fortress Energy confirmed the asset’s schedule to conclude commissioning and its preproduction run due on Friday the first partial LNG cargo is set to be loaded onto the Energos Princess and delivered to NFE’s La Paz Mexico terminal in the following days the FLNG is slated to undergo a scheduled maintenance outage of several days Afterward, the FLNG, with a capacity of 1.4 million tons per annum (mtpa), will resume operations and is expected to reach full production later this month. Recently, NFE closed its previously announced $700 million loan for its second unit with construction works scheduled to be wrapped up in the first half of 2026 commented: “Being able to supply our customers with our own LNG has been a goal for the company for many years Natural gas and power supply are critical components of a sustainable and cleaner energy system and we are grateful to now be able to provide an end-to-end solution for our customers This milestone reinforces NFE’s position as a leading vertically integrated gas to power company.” Department of Energy (DOE) for export of United States-sourced LNG to Mexico and other free trade agreement (FTA) countries following the arrival of a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) The first cargo of Texas natural gas liquefied in Mexico could be heading from the east coast to an import terminal on the country’s isolated Pacific Coast by mid-August NFE has a supply agreement with Mexico’s Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) to provide up to 0.3 mmty of LNG to the import terminal in southern Baja California A non-free trade agreement permit for NFE’s FLNG projects and proposed onshore trains at Altamira are currently paused by the U.S limiting exports to the company’s customer base in North America “Being able to supply our customers with our own LNG has been a goal for the company for many years,” CEO Wes Edens said “Natural gas and power supply are critical components of a sustainable affordable and cleaner energy system and we are grateful to now be able to provide an end-to-end solution for our customers.” NFE said the unit will undergo scheduled maintenance for several days before ramping up to full production by the end of the month NFE updated its target for the first LNG cargo shipment last month after disclosing it had reached first production at the facility. Delays in installation and a malfunction in April have pushed the project’s timeline by several months In July, the company closed a $700 million loan for a second FLNG unit Completion of the second unit was targeted for the first half of 2026 The FLNG units and successive onshore phases are supplied feed gas by CFE’s gas marketing arm, CFEnergía, from the Agua Dulce Hub in South Texas via the Valley Crossing pipeline. CFE transports volumes on the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline NGI’s forward fixed prices at Agua Dulce for September delivery were $1.598/MMBtu as of Friday. Summer 2025 prices were trading at $2.535. Agua Dulce basis prices were quoted 46 cents below Henry Hub for summer 2024 and 49.3 cents below the benchmark for summer 2025 Rising natural gas production is expected to meet LNG and industrial demand growth this summer while more renewable generation may help satisfy light power sector demand driven by mild weather and fundamentals create a relatively flat scenario for natural gas this summer Mexico’s state energy giant Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) has opened the door to the private sector to add financial and technical muscle as the company struggles with dropping oil and natural gas production
