"These first set of results clearly demonstrate the potential of this Project," says Mark Morabito, President & CEO of Alderon. "We are confirming as well as expanding the known zone of mineralization, as we had anticipated."

All four drill holes tested the northeast portion of the Rose Lake Central Zone. Holes K-10-27, K-10-29 and K-10-30 were infill holes around K-08-18 previously drilled by Altius Resources Inc. to confirm the continuity of the zone in preparation for the National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate scheduled for the first quarter of 2011. Hole K-10-28 was collared on the next section 180 meters (m) to the southwest and confirms the extension of the mineralized zone.

Complete assay highlights with drill plan maps and sections are posted on the Alderon website at: http://www.alderonmining.com/projects/kami/

True widths of the reported intercepts vary depending on the angle of the individual drill holes and are estimated to be between 20% and 98% of the core interval as reported. Samples were prepared from sawn NQ-sized half-core sections on site in Labrador. Split drill core samples are then sent to SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario for analyses. Total iron analysis is performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the magnetic component is determined by Satmagan magnetic analysis. Standards, blanks, and duplicate assays are included at regular intervals in each sample batch submitted from the field as part of an ongoing Quality Assurance/Quality Control program.
