Alder Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ALR) announces that it has
entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire an 80% interest in the La Montanita
Gold Project (the "Project") in Colombia. Pursuant to the letter of intent, the
Company will acquire an 80% interest in the properties that comprise the Project
in consideration for the issuance to the vendors of 5,000,000 common shares of
the Company and expending a minimum of $1,000,000 in respect of the exploration
and further development of the Project within two years following the date of
the definitive agreement. 


The Project is situated in an area with a reported 100 year history of gold
mining. It is located in western Colombia approximately 220 kilometers from the
Pacific Coast and 40 km from the city of Medellin. 


The Project encompasses approximately 1,000 hectares, including a 30 hectare
mineralized mountain that the Company understands has been the subject of
artisanal gold mining for over 80 years. Historic mining consisted primarily of
underground tunneling that followed reportedly high grade sub-vertical
structures varying in width from 20 to 60 centimetres. Current production at the
Project continues on an artisanal basis targeting a high grade NE trending vein.


The Company intends to analyze the potential for a bulk tonnage open pit mine at
the Project based on an understanding that the high grade veins at the Project
appear to be part of a larger stock work, with four prominent fracture
orientations within a granodiorite host rock. The Project does not currently
host estimated mineral resources that are compliant with National Instrument
43-101 ("NI 43-101") and it is uncertain if exploration activities will result
in the delineation of a mineral resource. Management believes the host rock,
scope and mineralization style are comparable to the nearby Gramalote deposit,
also located within the same batholith. The Gramalote deposit is held by a joint
venture between Anglogold-Ashanti and B2Gold Inc. and hosts a NI 43-101
compliant estimated inferred mineral resource of 74.4 million tonnes at an
average grade of 1.00 g/t gold for a total of approximately 2.4 million ounces
of gold. The Gramalote property is less than 40 km from the La Montanita
Project.


The agreement is subject to the completion of legal due diligence by the
Company, verification of titles to the properties, negotiation and execution of
a definitive agreement, and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company
notes that the proposed transaction will not result in any new insiders of the
Company, as none of the vendors will hold more than 10% of the outstanding
common shares of the Company following completion of the transaction.
