Alderon Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADV) ("Alderon") is pleased to announce that
on March 23, 2010, it closed a non-brokered private placement of 1,818,182
flow-through shares of Alderon ("Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $2.75 per
Flow-Through Share for gross proceeds of $5,000,000.50 (the "Flow-Through
Private Placement"). Each Flow-Through Share qualifies as a "flow-through share"
for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). In connection with the
Flow-Through Private Placement, Alderon paid a cash finder's fee equal to 5% of
the gross proceeds received. Alderon also issued to the finder non-transferable
warrants ("Finder's Warrants") equal to 5% of the Flow-Through Shares sold
through the Flow-Through Private Placement. Each Finder's Warrant may be
exercised for one common share of Alderon at an exercise price of $2.75 per
Finder's Warrant for a period of two years from the closing date.


All securities issued pursuant to the Flow-Through Private Placement are subject
to a four month hold period that expires on July 24, 2010.


The funds raised from the Flow-Through Private Placement will be used by Alderon
for exploration expenditures on its properties and specifically will be used to
conduct a drilling program on the Kamistiatusset ("Kami") iron ore project,
which will constitute Canadian exploration expenditures (as defined in the
Income Tax Act (Canada)) and will be renounced for the 2010 taxation year.
