About Alder Resources Ltd.

Alder is a resource company focused on the development of gold and base metal
projects throughout the Americas. Alder's current high priority Cu-Au-Ag
porphyry target is the Rosita project in Nicaragua located 275 kilometres
northeast of Managua. The company has current Inferred mineral stock pile
resources of 7.95 million tonnes grading 0.62% Cu, 0.46 g/t Au and 9.21 g/t Ag
with numerous zones that have good near term potential to add to and enhance
these resources. See the technical report entitled "Rosita Cu-Au-Ag Project,
RAAN, Nicaragua, NI 43-101 Technical Report on Mineral Resource Estimate of
Rosita Stockpiles" effective as of May 8, 2012, which is available under the
Company's profile at www.sedar.com. Alder is also highly encouraged by recent
trench results that, in conjunction with previous drill results from the
Tipispan area, support management's belief of a large, untested,
copper-gold-silver porphyry/skarn system locally overlain by a high grade,
supergene enriched, oxide blanket.


In August 2011, Alder entered into an option agreement to acquire a 65% interest
in the Rosita D concession from Calibre Mining Corp. by issuing 1,000,000 shares
and incurring expenditures of $4,000,000 over four years. To date Alder has
incurred more than half of the $4,000,000 earn-in obligation. 


Alder intends to continue to build its property position with strategic
acquisitions.
