News Release: November 6th, 2007 Almaden Completes Nevada Exploration Programs Almaden Minerals ltd. (TSX: AMM; AMEX:AAU; “Almaden”) is pleased to announce that it has completed field programs on three of its 100% owned gold-silver projects in Nevada recently acquired through staking (see Almaden news release of November 6, 2007). The work program on each of the projects consisted of Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics, grid soil sampling, rock-chip sampling and geologic and alteration mapping. Chairman of Almaden, J.D. Poliquin stated, “We are very pleased to have created these new Nevada prospects through conceptual exploration and are rapidly developing them into exciting new gold projects for joint venture.” Almaden will report the results of these work programs as soon as all the analytical and other data has been received and compiled. The programs were designed to identify the limits of alteration and mineralization as well as to develop drill targets. The alteration mapping on all three projects has confirmed the mineralogy typical of high-sulphidation gold systems including the presence of alunite, dickite, diaspore, pyrophyillite and kaolinite associated with outcropping vuggy silica alteration.
