VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (AMEX: AAU) ("Almaden", "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired a 100% interest by staking in the Caldera project, located as a result of the Company's ongoing regional exploration program. The Caldera property is located in Puebla State less than 150 kilometers from the Company's Caballo Blanco project. Hydrothermal alteration typical of high sulphidation epithermal gold-silver environments, including vuggy silica and extensive areas of acid-sulphate alteration, has been identified at the Caldera prospect. This alteration is comparable to that known at Almaden's Caballo Blanco high-sulphidation gold-silver-copper project in Veracruz State which has been optioned to Canadian Gold Hunter Ltd., a Lundin Group Company (see Almaden news release of April 17, 2007). J. D. Poliquin, chairman and CEO of Almaden commented: "It is extremely exciting to see concepts turn into new projects. This new property has the potential to develop into a Caballo Blanco-type gold project. We look forward to assessing its potential and developing it over the coming months."

Almaden has initiated an exploration program on the Caldera prospect including geologic and alteration mapping, rock, soil and stream sediment geochemical sampling and IP geophysical surveys.

Morgan Poliquin, P.Eng. the president COO and a director of Almaden and a qualified person under the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 reviewed the technical information in this news release.
