CEDAR MOUNTAIN EXPLORATION RAMPS UP DRILL PROGRAM AT KELLY CREEK GOLD PROJECT

Vancouver, British Columbia - Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc. (CED: TSX-V) (“Cedar Mountain” or the "Company") is pleased to announce that an additional diamond drill rig has commenced drilling on the high priority multi-kilometre-scale gold targets at the Kelly Creek Gold Project on the Seward Peninsula in Alaska.

The Company now has two drill rigs operating on the property, as well as an ongoing soil sampling program to identify new drill-ready targets.  The objective of the drilling and soil sampling program is to discover a new gold district, targeting a near-surface bulk tonnage gold deposit.

“The second drill rig will augment the current exploration program and allow us to expand upon additional gold targets identified at the project,” stated Charles Chebry, President and CEO. “As the program progresses throughout the summer, the Company is focused on effectively targeting numerous areas that show the potential for discovery.”

THE PROPERTY

Kelly Creek is a drill-permitted early-stage gold exploration property comprising 105,280 acres (42,605 hectares) that cover an entirely new gold district.  Historic results indicate the presence of disseminated gold deposits in metasedimentary rocks. These deposits have similarities to disseminated gold deposits in Nevada and are a new type for the Alaskan region.  For an overview of the current Kelly Creek Project status please see the Cedar Mountain press release dated January 25th, 2011.
