Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc.: 2008 Cedar Creek Work Program Underway

Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc. ("Cedar Mountain") (TSX VENTURE:CED) is pleased
to announce that Phase 1 of the 2008 exploration program has commenced at its
100% owned Cedar Creek Property located in south-central British Columbia. The
program will involve ground truthing approximately 30 gold in soil anomalies
followed by extensive trenching and sampling. It is expected the Phase 1 program
will take approximately four weeks to complete with assay results expected to be
available in August 2008. The results of the Phase 1 program will assist Cedar
Mountain in the selection of drill target locations for the Phase 2 exploration
program which is expected to commence in September 2008.


The program is designed as a follow-up to the highly successful 2007 program in
which extensive soil sampling identified approximately 30 soil and geochemical
gold anomalies of up to 4140 ppb Au, associated with Quesnel Terrane volcanic
and sedimentary rocks. Two distinct northwest oriented trends of gold in soil
anomalies were identified. 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
kilometers 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.


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.


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.


About Cedar Mountain

Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc. is mineral exploration company focused on gold
and base metal projects. The companies assets include the Cedar Creek Gold
Property, a bulk tonnage sediment hosted gold target situated immediately
adjacent to Skygold Ventures Ltd.'s Spanish Mountain project in the Cariboo
region of south-central British Columbia, the Lemon Lake Property, also in the
Cariboo region, located 9 km northeast of the village of Horsefly and the Venus
Property approximately 16 km northeast of Salmo in south-eastern British
Columbia.


In addition to the British Columbia properties, on April 28, 2008 Cedar Mountain
announced entering into two letters of intent with Sterling Mining de Mexico
S.A. de C.V ("Sterling") whereby Sterling has granted Cedar the option to
acquire a 100% interest in the Jimenez del Tuel and Venaditas-Chapis properties
in the State of Zacatecas in central Mexico. Zacatecas state is host to several
world class mineral deposits including the recently discovered San Nicolas
(VMS), Penasquito and Camino Rojo deposits. Cedar Mountain is currently
conducting an extensive due diligence program on the merits of both Jimenez del
Tuel and Venaditas-Chapis properties.
