Alhambra Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:ALH) ("Alhambra" or the "Corporation"), an international gold producer and explorer, announces reverse circulation ("RC") drilling results from its 100% owned advanced exploration drilling target at the Shirotnaia project area ("Shirotnaia"). The recent 43 hole RC drilling program has expanded the 2007/2010 core drilling defined area of gold mineralization and has provided new priority targets for immediate core drilling follow-up. Prior to 2010, previous drilling at Shirotnaia had identified a large gold anomaly and significant gold mineralization with a high peak gold grade of up to 51.6 g/t (see news release dated March 4, 2010). In addition, two significant widths of higher-grade gold mineralization were encountered within a large area of lower grade gold mineralization, suggesting the probable continuation of the higher-grades to depth typical of this orogenic style of mineralization. Core drilling reported in January, 2011 (see News Release dated January 5, 2011) yielded very encouraging results both in widths and gold grade. Shirotnaia is located within Alhambra's 100% owned Uzboy Project in Kazakhstan (see location map, Figure 1) and is immediately adjacent to the world-class Aksu and Quartzite Hills gold deposits currently being mined by KazakhGold Group Limited ("KazakhGold"). HIGHLIGHTS -- The successful RC drilling program confirmed the presence of gold mineralization outside the boundaries of that previously known, -- Broad intervals of anomalous gold concentrations (for +0.15 g/t) were intersected in 34 of 43 holes drilled, -- Petrological studies indicate this is the top of the mineralized system and higher-grades are anticipated at depth, -- A link was established between previous successful core drilling programs which proved the existence of at least one continuous and significant higher-grade mineralized zone. DRILLING PROGRAM The RC drilling program completed consisted of 43 holes totaling 2,250 metres ("m"), averaging 52 m (see Figure 2). The objective of this program was to drill the north-east extension of the mineralization, thus furthering the understanding of the geometry of the large zone of anomalous gold mineralization. This program provided new targets for further core drilling. However, to ensure sample quality where high groundwater flows were encountered, the RC holes were drilled generally shallower than planned. Many wide, low grade, zones of oxide gold mineralization were encountered by the RC drilling program. Petrological studies indicate that this is the very top of the mineralized system. Furthermore, in this district, hypogene gold grades are typically higher than the surface supergene grades. Hence, higher grades of gold mineralization are anticipated at depth, in planned future follow-up drilling programs. A link was also established between the successful 2007 and the 2010 core drilling programs which proved the existence of at least one continuous 1,000 m long by 15-30 m wide higher-grade mineralized zone. A completed geochemical study from results of fire assay and inductivity coupled plasma ("ICP") analyses of the 323 samples, taken from diamond drill holes DDH 32-02 and DDH 100-02 drilled in 2010 at Shirotnaia, concluded that: -- The hydrothermal process in the area was developed in three major stages but gold was mostly concentrated at the latest one, producing typical epizonal orogenic style mineralization including concentrated Au, Ag, Pb, Sb, Hg and less Zn. Sulfides and sulfosalts are associated with silicification. -- Mesothermal and epithermal style alterations at the same level implies telescoping of the alteration zones suggesting a long-lived hydrothermal system typical of world class districts. -- The Hg, Sb and gold association suggests a very high level of the hydrothermal system and possible preservation of most of the mineralization.

The drill results at Shirotnaia support the interpretation that the three zones of gold mineralization are the northern extension of the multi-million ounce Aksu and Quartzite Hills deposits. The combination of the hydrothermal alteration style and distinct zones of widespread gold mineralization supports a significantly expanded exploration program in 2011. Upon completion of the planned 2011 drilling program, Alhambra anticipates that a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 resource report will be completed for Shirotnaia by year-end 2011. REVERSE CIRCULATION DRILLING AND SAMPLING PROCEDURES Standard RC drilling technique was utilized and sample recovery was excellent. The rock chips coming to the cyclone through dual tube were split using a riffle splitter by the drilling contractor under the supervision of the Corporation's geologists. Every meter of hole was sampled. The average sample weight was 5 kilograms. Sample preparation was completed by Stewart Assay and Environmental Laboratories located in Kyrgyzstan using the following procedure: samples were crushed to minus 2 mm, mixed and split into two 200 gram sub-samples. One sub-sample was pulverized to - 200 mesh and the other sub-sample was retained for reference purposes. A 30 gram sample of the -200 mesh material was used for fire assay atomic absorption finish. Stewart Assay and Environmental Laboratories is independent of Alhambra and does have an International Standard Organization ("ISO") 17025 accreditation. QUALITY ASSSURANCE QUALITY CONTROL The Kyrgyzstan Stewart Assay and Environmental Laboratories, as a part of Stewart Group, have stringent quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") procedures. Alhambra also follows a rigorous QA/QC program consisting of inserting standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream submitted to the laboratory for analysis to ensure that the sampling and analysis of all samples is conducted in accordance with the best possible practices.

ABOUT SHIROTNAIA Shirotnaia is one of Alhambra's 2011 advanced drilling targets within the Corporation's 100% owned, 2.4 million acre (9,800 km2), Uzboy Project located in north central Kazakhstan. The Shirotnaia gold discovery is located approximately 3 kilometres ("kms") northeast of the KazakhGold Group Limited ("KazakhGold") mining allotment which hosts the Aksu and Quartzite Hills gold deposits having reported resources of approximately 15 million ounces(1). The large target area of Shirotnaia, as indicated by gold soil anomaly, measures approximately 3.4 kms by 1.5 kms and is contained within the even larger original target area of 10.0 kms by 2.0 kms which remains to be explored by more modern methods. More details about the project geology and the previous exploration results are available on the Corporation's website.
