    NEWS RELEASE

    Date: April 2, 2007 Trading Symbol: TSX-V: AGM

    ALDRIDGE DISCOVERS ZN-DOMINATED SATELLITE MINERALIZATION TO YENIPAZAR,
    CENTRAL TURKEY

    Vancouver, B.C.: Aldridge Minerals Inc. (´Aldridge´) is pleased to
    announce drill results from a new target, referred to as ´Sircali´, first
    identified with geophysical methods 11 km southeast of the Yenipazar
    deposit. Sircali is located on the same license as Yenipazar and contains a
    strongly chargeable unit that extends SW-NE for 900 m. ´Chargeable´ refers
    to geoelectrical (IP) measurements, and corresponding minerals may be
    sulphides, but also clays or graphite. There are iron-rich, gossanous zones
    on surface accompanied by silicification, following the strike of the
    chargeable unit. The iron is probably derived from weathering of pyrite,
    thus indicating a probable sulphide-nature for the chargeable unit at
    depth. The gossanous zones contain lead mineralization and were tentatively
    mined for the iron by locals. The dip of the mineralized zone could not be
    derived from the available data, and could range from vertical to 70° in
    either direction.
    Aldridge drilled two angled reverse circulation (RC) holes into the zone,
    spaced 270 m, with the following results:

    Hole Interval Zn % Pb %
    SRC-1 12-42 m 3.40 0.99
    Incl. 14-18 m 7.98 0.13
    Incl. 34-38 m 5.26 0.50
    SRC-2 18-26 m 0.71 0.11

    Hole SRC-2 was drilled on the southeastern flank of the zone, while SRC-1
    was collared more internally. Encountered mineralization is completely
    oxidized. All samples were prepared by the ALSChemex preparation facility
    in Izmir, West Turkey, and were assayed in the ALSChemex laboratory in
    Vancounver.

    With a RC-drill rig currently operating to upgrade and enlarge the resource
    at the Yenipazar deposit, Aldridge will soon drill follow-up RC-holes at
    Sircali to determine the true thickness, the dip, and the depth and strike
    extent of zinc oxide and subjacent sulphide mineralization.

    If a minable zinc-oxide resource can be established at Sircali, Aldridge
    would have the advantage of a zinc oxide plant located only 90 km to the
    SSE, near the city of Kayseri. This zinc oxide plant was built for the
    ample occurrence of zinc oxide in the Taurus region south of Kayseri. The
    state highway to Kayseri is located only 1 km from the Zn-mineralized zone
    at Sircali.

    Martin S. Oczlon, PhD Geo, a director of Aldridge and Qualified Person as
    such term is defined in NI 43-101, has reviewed and verified the technical
    content of this release.

    Aldridge is active in the exploration and development of gold and base
    metal projects in Turkey.

    This press release may contain forward-looking statements based on
    assumptions and judgments of management regarding future events or results
    that may prove to be inaccurate as a result of risk factors beyond its
    control, and actual results may differ materially from the expected
    results. Although the drill results are encouraging, additional drilling is
    required to understand the extent and grades of Zn-mineralization at
    Sircali. There is currently no certainty that a mining operation can be
    established at Sircali.

    On behalf of the Board of Directors

    ´Hikmet Akin´
    President and a director
