Initial Public Offering

Cedar Mountain recently completed its public offering of 4,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.40 per share raising gross proceeds of $1.6 million.  PI Financial Corp. acted as agent in connection with the offering.  In conjunction with the completion of the offering, PI Financial Corp. received a corporate finance fee of $25,000 plus GST, cash commission of 10% of the gross proceeds and an option to acquire up to 400,000 common shares of the Corporation at an exercise price of $0.40 per share for a period of 24 months from closing.

The net proceeds from Cedar Mountain's initial public offering will primarily be used to conduct exploration work on the Corporation's Cedar Creek Property, the development of new exploration properties, to fund general and administrative expenses and for general working capital. 

About Cedar Mountain

The principal business of the Corporation is and has been since incorporation, the exploration and development of properties and deposits with the potential for gold in sediment hosted bulk tonnage type deposits, lode gold and/or base metal deposits.  In addition to the exploration of its existing properties, the Corporation intends to seek and acquire additional properties worthy of exploration and development.

The Corporation's principal project is the Cedar Creek Property which is located 56 km northeast of Williams Lake and adjacent to Quesnel Lake at Likely, in south-central British Columbia.  The Cedar Creek property consists of 1453 hectares of land located in the Cariboo region of south-central British Columbia.

Interest in the Cariboo region has recently increased due to the exploration work completed by Skygold Venture Ltd.'s adjacent Spanish Mountain Property.

Based on results from adjacent properties, favourable geology, and the presence of gold anomalies with coincidental geophysical anomalies, Cedar Mountain is exploring for gold in sediment hosted vein deposit types at the Cedar Creek Property.

Additional information about the Corporation can be found in Cedar Mountain's final prospectus dated July 13, 2007 which has been filed and is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), or at the company’s website:  www.cedarmountainexp.com
