This prospectus supplement amends and supplements the prospectus dated June 30, 2022, as supplemented or amended from time to time (the "Prospectus"), which forms a part of our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration Statement No. 333-260534). This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus with the information contained in our Report on Form 6-K, furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 15, 2022 (the "Form 6-K"). Accordingly, we have attached the Form 6-K to this prospectus supplement.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

Our Common Shares and Warrants are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbols "ASTL" and "ASTLW", respectively, and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under the symbols "ASTL" and "ASTL.WT," respectively. On August 12, 2022, the last reported sales prices of the Common Shares on Nasdaq and the TSX were $9.48 and C$12.11, respectively, and the last reported sales prices of the Warrants were $1.90 and C$2.54, respectively.

We are a "foreign private issuer" as defined in the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. Additionally, Nasdaq rules allow foreign private issuers to follow home country practices in lieu of certain of Nasdaq's corporate governance rules. As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" beginning on page 6 of the Prospectus, and under similar headings in any amendment or supplements to the Prospectus.

None of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any state securities commission or the securities commission of any Canadian province or territory has approved or disapproved of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus or determined if the Prospectus or this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario, Aug. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Algoma Steel Group Inc.

Operations will continue in the ordinary course during the voting process, and the Union has agreed to provide advance notice to the Company to allow for a safe and orderly shutdown of operations in the event the Union instructs employees to go on strike.

Algoma President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Garcia commented. "We respect the collective bargaining process and are pleased that our employees will have their say on a matter of such critical importance to their livelihoods, the lives of their families, and fellow community members. The Company has offered a non-concessionary,top-of-market wage and benefit package which includes a 5.5% wage increase, continuation of COLA, significant improvements in pensions and benefits for employees, and enhanced retiree benefits over a four-year term that delivers the stability needed to ensure a successful transition to electric arc steelmaking. A signing bonus is also included contingent upon no disruption to operations and uninterrupted shipments to our customers."

He went on to say, "If ratified, this agreement will help to secure our collective future, provide for sustained profitability even at the bottom of the steel cycle, and allow us to maintain the phenomenal momentum we have generated together since emerging from CCAA."
