Alderon Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADV) ("Alderon") is pleased to announce that
drilling has commenced at the Kamistiatusset ("Kami") Iron Ore Project in
western Labrador. A second drill rig is currently being mobilized at Kami and a
third drill will be on the property by the start of next week. The CDN $5
million program will consist of 20,000 metres of drilling using all three drills
and is expected to take 5 months. The drill program is designed to delineate
approximately 500 million tonnes of iron ore in the inferred and indicated
categories.


In conjunction with the drilling program, a further CDN $2 million will be spent
on ground geophysical surveys, metallurgical test work, local infrastructure
upgrades and the completion of a resource estimate and scoping study.


"We are excited to be drilling Kami and to finally be able to show the
investment community the great potential of this iron ore project," says Mark
Morabito, President and CEO of Alderon. "With the successful completion of our
program, we should be able to start pre-feasibility by this time next year."
