Alder Sells 0.5% NSR to Forbes & Manhattan and Initiates Metallurgical Testing on Stockpiles and Tailings at Rosita

TORONTO, Jul 29, 2014 - Alder Resources Ltd. ("Alder" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:ALR) has sold to Forbes & Manhattan, Inc. ("Forbes") a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty on Alder's interest in the Rosita property in Nicaragua (the "Royalty").

Don Dudek, Chairman and CEO of Alder, stated: "The sale of a royalty at this stage of development supports management's views regarding the perceived commercial value of the existing stockpile inferred resource, which consists of 7.95 million tonnes averaging 0.62% Cu, 0.46 g/t Au and 9.21 g/t Ag, and the overall potential of the property."

Alder granted the Royalty to Forbes in settlement of dated accounts payable totaling $508,500 owing to Forbes on account of advisory fees payable by Alder pursuant to a consulting agreement between Alder and Forbes (the "Consulting Agreement"). The Royalty becomes effective upon Alder earning a 65% interest in the Rosita property pursuant to the option agreement between Alder and Calibre Mining Corp. However, in the event that Alder fails to exercise its option to acquire the Rosita property, Alder is required to pay Forbes an amount equal to $508,500 plus $15,000 multiplied by the number of months that have passed between the date of the Royalty Agreement and the date on which the option expires unexercised, is abandoned or is terminated. Alder can re-purchase the Royalty at any time by paying Forbes $1,508,500 in cash.

The Consulting Agreement with Forbes has been terminated.


Metallurgical Testing of Stockpiles

Three samples of stockpile and tailings have been sent to SGS Lakefield for metallurgical testing with an overall goal of determining how much gold, copper and silver can be extracted in the most cost effective way possible. The goal of the stockpile test work is to first determine what percentage of the copper can be leached. A second test is designed to determine how much of the copper, gold and silver can be leached from the same sample. The two tailings samples will be subjected to gravity concentration to determine how much gold and copper can be recovered. Results are expected in August.
