Alderon Resource Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ADV)(OTCQX:ALDFF) ("Alderon") is pleased to
announce that it has closed its previously announced private placement financing
with a syndicate of underwriters led by Haywood Securities Inc. (the
"Underwriters") for 9,125,000 units (the "Units") of Alderon, including
1,825,000 Units sold pursuant to the exercise in full of an over-allotment
option by the Underwriters, at a price of C$2.20 (the "Issue Price") for gross
proceeds of C$20,075,000 (the "Offering"), on a bought deal basis. Each Unit
consists of one common share in the capital of Alderon (a "Common Share") and
one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole common share purchase
warrant (a "Warrant") will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at a
price of C$2.80 for a period of 24 months from the closing date.


If the closing price of the Common Shares of Alderon on the TSX-V is greater
than C$4.00 per share for 20 consecutive trading days, Alderon may give written
notice to warrant holders that the Warrants will expire 20 calendar days after
Alderon issues a news release disclosing the early expiry of the Warrants.


Alderon intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to continue to advance
its Kamistiatusset Project located in the Labrador Trough iron ore district in
Canada, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.


Alderon has paid the Underwriters a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross
proceeds of the Offering and has issued compensation options entitling the
Underwriters to purchase such number of Units that is equal to 6.0% of the
aggregate number of Units sold pursuant to the Offering, at an exercise price
equal to the Unit Price, for a period of 24 months following the closing of the
Offering.


The Units sold under this offering were offered by way of a private placement in
the Provinces of Canada (and were also offered in the United States on a private
placement basis pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended).


All securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory
hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance in accordance
with applicable securities legislation.


The securities offered hereby have not been, nor will they be, registered under
the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or
sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons
absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration
requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the
solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in
any state or province in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful.
