VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jan 30, 2014) - Altima Resources Ltd. (TSX-VENTURE:ARH) (FRANKFURT:AKC) (PINKSHEETS:ARSLF) announces that it has entered into a Participation Agreement with Acumen Energy Partners Inc. ("Acumen"), pursuant to which Acumen has been granted the right to earn a 20% working interest (the "Working Interest") in the 3-17-41-11 W5M well (the "Well") and section 17-41-11 W5M (the "Lands") located in the Chambers-Ferrier area of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin, Alberta (the Well and Lands hereinafter referred to as the "Property").
