Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc.: Extensive Gold Anomalies Identified on Cedar Creek Property

Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CED) ("Cedar Mountain) today
announced the results of Phase 1 exploration program at the 100% owned Cedar
Creek Property located in central British Columbia. The 2007 program has
identified numerous coherent gold in soil anomalies, up to 4140 ppb Au,
associated with Quesnel Terrane volcanic and sedimentary rocks.


Two distinct northwest oriented trends of gold in soil anomalies have been
identified on the Cedar Creek Property. In the northern portion, a broad trend
of anomalous soils, extending along strike over 2 kilometers and up to 1.5
kilometres wide, has been delineated over sedimentary rocks comprising an
assemblage of alternating argillites, siltstones and greywackes. These gold
anomalies and underlying lithologies are similar to those on the adjacent
Spanish Mountain Property, held jointly by Skygold Ventures Ltd. and Wildrose
Resources Ltd.


A second one kilometer wide zone of gold in soil anomalies trends for over three
kilometres across the southern portion of the property and is associated with an
assemblage of intermediate to mafic volcanic rocks exposed along the incised
valley of Cedar Creek. The maximum gold in soil value collected in this southern
trend is 2700 ppb. Previous rock sampling from outcrop exposures along Cedar
Creek by Cedar Mountain during 2006 returned gold values up to 12.6 g/t. 


A total of 4,166 soil and 84 rock samples were collected, (including 407
duplicate soil samples) by APEX Geoscience at the Cedar Creek Property during
the 2007 exploration program. Gold assay results for rock and soil samples are
summarized in Tables 1 and 2 below and are shown on figure 1:

As well, approximately 10 kilometres of line was cut in anticipation of a winter
IP survey which will test northwest trending EM targets coincident with the
northern trend of gold in soil identified in a 2006 airborne survey believed to
be graphitic sediments and/or sulphides. Geological mapping of the property was
also conducted at a scale of 1:5000.

Cedar Creek Property 

The Cedar Creek Property is located 5km southeast of the town of Likely, BC, in
the Cariboo Gold District, and is road accessible. The Property comprises 2
mineral claims totaling 1463 hectares and is adjacent to the Spanish Mountain
Property. The geology of the Cedar Creek Property consists predominantly of
volcanic, sedimentary and intrusive rocks belonging to the Quesnel terrane. This
gold district was historically British Columbia's first and largest producer of
gold during the historic Cariboo Gold rush, producing approximately 3.8 million
ounces of gold since 1874, which is more than any other placer area in British
Columbia.


Like Spanish Mountain, historical work at Cedar Creek was focused primarily on
placer gold and gold bearing quartz veins. Approximately 40,000 ounces of placer
gold reportedly of a local origin have been produced from the property from
Cedar Creek and the Hampton Placer Pit. Recent mapping, reverse circulation and
diamond drilling performed by the Skygold Joint Venture on their adjacent
Spanish Mountain Property, recognized broad zones of gold mineralization not
necessarily associated with abundant quartz veining. The Skygold Joint Venture
have spent nearly $9.5 million in 2007 to expand their bulk tonnage, high grade
sedimentary hosted gold mineralization discovered in 2005 and prepare a 43-101
compliant resource estimate at the Main Zone as well as test several large
geochemical soil anomalies for additional gold mineralization. This gold
mineralization is in association with pyrite within large areas of interbedded
black argillaceous rocks and siltstone, which is now the primary focus of
exploration in the district and the Cedar Creek Property.


The principal focus of exploration on the Cedar Creek Property is for gold in
sediment hosted bulk tonnage type deposits. The main style of veining explored
is Sediment Hosted Vein (SHV) deposits, a family of gold deposits that consist
of gold in quartz veins hosted by shale and siltstone sedimentary rocks. These
types of deposits can be some of the largest in the world as seen at Muruntau (
greater than 80M oz) and Sukhoi Log ( greater than 20M oz) in Russia. This is
the principal deposit type which has been recently discovered and is being
successfully explored on the adjacent Skygold Spanish Mountain Property.
