The global average grades for all of the samples are 0.46% total copper, 0.22%
soluble copper, 0.46 g/t gold and 7.67 g/t silver. A total of 236 samples were
collected over four dump areas including the South West dump (500m by 200m), the
North dump (400m by 200m), the South dump (400m by 200m) and the East dump (500m
by 100m). Drilling to date indicates thicknesses range from 6 metres to 39
metres. Channel samples were taken at one metre vertical height down the slope
of each dump at a line spacing of either 100 metres or 200 metres, depending on
accessibility. Approximately 5 kilograms of material was collected for each
sample. Both total and soluble copper analyses were carried out due to the
presence of copper oxides. The vertical channel sampling was completed at the
largest four of the eightdumps on the property and will be followed up with
reverse circulation (RC) drilling along a 100 metre spaced grid at the dumps.
This drilling is expected to be completed early in 2012.


Joseph Arengi, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alder, stated: "The
average high gold and silver values exceeded our expectations and illustrate
their importance in the mineralized system. It is also exciting to see that this
historic 'waste' is so well mineralized. We are in the process of testing each
of the dumps with RC drilling and hope to better quantify this potential
resource."


Alder has entered into an option agreement to acquire a 65% interest in the
Rosita D concession from Calibre Mining Corp. (as disclosed in a press release
issued by Alder on August 22, 2011), which hosts the historic open pit Santa
Rita copper-gold-silver deposit from which 5.37 million tonnes of ore grading
2.06% copper, 0.93 g/t gold, and 15.08 g/t silver was extracted. The mine closed
in 1975 due to low copper prices. Alder's management believes that a substantial
amount of copper-gold-silver mineralization lies both below and adjacent to the
Santa Rita pit. Recent work returned trench intercepts of 1.06 g/t gold, 0.96%
copper and 9.33 g/t silver over 12.0 metres and 3.26% copper, 55.82 g/t silver
and 0.15 g/t gold over 8.30 metres. Historic drilling below the Santa Rita pit
returned intercepts that included 2.27% copper, 0.21 g/t gold and 30.85 g/t
silver over 16.7 metres true width at a vertical depth of 225 metres below the
assumed base of the pit. The Rosita deposit is open to depth and along strike.


The Bambana prospect, located four kilometres northwest of the Santa Rita open
pit, returned historic intercepts of up to 0.43% copper and 6.54 g/t silver over
42.0 metres and 0.51% copper, 0.25 g/t gold and 10.41 g/t silver over 11.5
metres in two diamond drill holes completed in 2010. A review of this area by
Alder confirmed copper porphyry-style alteration and sulphide mineralization.
Alder has not yet done sufficient work to verify the historic drill results
reported in this news release and does not intend to use this information for
purposes other than planning and prioritizing exploration targets.


As previously stated in a press release issued by Alder on October 20, 2011,
Alder's first priority will be to confirm mineralization in areas that reported
historic copper-gold mineral resources on the property. The initial work program
on the property includes an evaluation of the mineralized dumps and talings
ponds by trenching and RC drilling, testing high priority targets around the old
Santa Rita and R-13 pits, trenching and drilling at Bambana and a
reinterpretation of the geophysical data. Alder plans to use the results of this
initial work to develop an aggressive drill program that will be designed to
lead to a resource estimate. 


Ongoing RC drilling is intended to delineate the internal grade and thickness of
each dump. To date, 12 holes totaling 276 metres have been completed at the
dumps with drilling expected to continue until December 20th before breaking for
Christmas. The initial phase of the drilling program will include 1,000 metres
of RC drilling to test the dumps and follow-up on historic mineralized diamond
drill intercepts below the Santa Rita pit. Additional RC drilling of up to 4,000
metres will test mineralization in other highly prospective areas, including
R-13 and the Bambana porphyry copper target as well as other targets generated
during the ongoing exploration program. 


Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Each sample is collected from a cleaned surface into a heavy gauge plastic bag,
sealed and shipped to Inspectorate Exploration and Mining Services' preparation
laboratory in Managua. Pulps are prepared for shipping to Inspectorate's
analytical laboratory in Vancouver, where each sample is analyzed for total
copper using aqua regia digestion and a 30 element ICP (inductively coupled
plasma-atomic emission spectrometry) method, soluble copper using dilute
sulfuric acid digestion with AA (atomic absorption) finish and gold using fire
assay with AA finish. Alder has implemented an industry standard Quality
Assurance/Quality Control program that includes the insertion of certified
standards and blanks into the sample stream.
