ALR

Alder Resources Ltd. ("Alder" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ALR) announces that it has concluded Phase I of drilling at its La Montanita gold project near Medellin, Colombia. While drill holes 6-10 have not intersected significant mineralized intervals, only a small percentage of the property has been tested. Artisanal mining is present in more distant locations to the current drilling indicating potential mineralization in areas other than the primary target area.

Drill holes completed to date have intersected sub-economic portions of the historically mined gold zones suggesting that the likelihood of intersecting a large high grade gold system in the drilled tested area is low. Alder is in the progress of evaluating its options with the intention of finding additional targets in the La Montanita area. In addition, Alder is actively pursuing further acquisitions in Colombia in order to maximize shareholder value.

Alder has spent approximately $955,000 on the exploration program at La Montanita, and has a current cash position of approximately $2,252,000. Management intends to use the remaining funds to ensure that projects with multimillion ounce potential are sourced in addition to fully unlocking the value of the La Montanita Project.

The Company also reports that it will not pursue its option on the property it was analyzing as per the press release dated January 27, 2011 as a result of unsatisfactory due diligence related to the potential mineralization of the property.

In addition, the Company would like to announce that subsequent to entering into the option agreement with Castillian Resources Corp. ("Castillian") with respect to the Canadian Creek property located in the Yukon, Alder now holds approximately 1,562,000 shares of Castillian, with an approximate market value of $296,875. Furthermore, the Company recently received the first payment from Castillian in the amount of $50,000 as per the terms of the assignment agreement for the Canadian Creek property.
