"These results continue to demonstrate the consistency of the depth and width of the Rose Lake Zone as we progress southwest," says Matt Simpson, Chief Operating Officer of Alderon.

All drill holes to date have tested the north eastern half of the Rose Lake Zone. Complete assay highlights with drill plan maps and sections are posted on the Alderon website at: http://www.alderonmining.com/projects/kami/

True widths of the reported intercepts vary depending on the angle of the individual drill holes and are estimated to be between 15% and 53% of the core interval as reported. Samples were prepared from sawn NQ-sized half-core sections on site in Labrador. Split drill core samples are then sent to SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario for analyses. Total iron analysis is performed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and the magnetic component is determined by Satmagan magnetic analysis. Standards, blanks, and duplicate assays are included at regular intervals in each sample batch submitted from the field as part of an ongoing Quality Assurance/Quality Control program.
