WORK PROGRAM UNDERWAY AT CEDAR MOUNTAIN’S KELLY CREEK PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia - Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc. (“Cedar”) is pleased to announce that its initial work program on the Kelly Creek Project is underway. This Phase One sampling program is budgeted at $600,000 and will focus on investigating the numerous high priority gold geochemical anomalies that occur within prospective stratigraphy over a 15 km x 5 km corridor bounded by regional faults. Please refer to Cedar’s announcements of March 26 and April 8, 2010 for more information on the project.  

The primary target on the property is a near surface, bulk tonnage sedimentary gold deposit analogous to those located in the Carlin Trend of Nevada or the Livengood Deposit in Alaska. Limited soil and stream sediment sampling programs conducted in the past have identified several prospects within the bounds of the property consisting of coincident gold (Au), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), and Mercury (Hg) anomalies. At the Kelly Creek prospect, a coherent gold-in-soil anomaly with continuous elevated gold assays of greater than 25 parts per billion was traced for nearly 2 km. In 1984, Anaconda Copper Mining Co. completed three drill holes (140 metres) within a portion of the anomalous area , producing drill intercepts of 1.07 g/t over 23.5 m and 0.83 g/t over 32 m. This anomalous area is largely untested and remains open to the south and west.

It is expected that approximately 4,000 soil, stream sediment and rock samples will be collected over the course of the upcoming program. Sampling and prospecting will be focused on the known prospects as well as locations that have produced elevated Au assays over the length and breadth of   the 15 km x 5 km corridor contained with the claim boundaries. This region of the Seward Peninsula was not glaciated during the last ice age and it has been demonstrated that soil horizons containing elevated Au, As, Sb, and Hg assays are developed directly over mineralised host rocks.  The results of the upcoming surveys will be used to identify additional targets for an aggressive drill campaign during the first half of 2011.    

The Property

The Kelly Creek Property located on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska’s prolific Nome mining district.  Kelly Creek is a drill-permitted early-stage gold exploration property comprising 32,640 acres (13,209 hectares).  Historic results indicate the presence of a sediment-hosted gold deposit within a mining district that has historically recorded placer gold production of 5 million ounces.
