The Units will be sold for $0.15 each and each Warrant will be exercisable to purchase an additional share for $0.25.

There is no minimum set with respect to the Offering. On the closing of the sale of the Units sold ("Closing") Delano will be paid cash commissions equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering raised by Delano. As additional compensation for its services Alder will grant Delano options entitling it, for 24 months from the Closing, to purchase that number of Units as is equal to 10% of the number of Units sold by Delano pursuant to the Offering for $0.15 per Unit; provided that the Warrants included in the Units purchased by the Agent will expire 24 months after the Closing.

Alder has now completed exploration work for the season on its optioned Canadian Creek Mineral Property – located approximately 160 km south of Dawson City, Yukon Territory – and the crew and equipment demobilized. Ten core drill holes were completed for a total of 1,431 metres. The drill holes tested a number of soil geochemical and IP geophysical anomalies broadly spaced over an area of 4 km in length. The samples are now all in the lab and the results will be released once they have been received and compiled. Two soil sample lines were added late in the program at the northeastern end of the grid where a new and open ended gold-arsenic soil anomaly was outlined on two lines 200 m apart.

Alder's total expenditures on the Canadian Creek Property are estimated to have been approximately $1,000,000, subject to the receipt of final invoices.

As has been disclosed in previous Alder Releases, Alder can earn a 60% interest in the Canadian Creek Property – from the owner of the property, Cariboo Rose Resources Ltd.

Alder has granted a Director an option to purchase up to 100,000 shares exercisable at $0.15 per share.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this Release.
