Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc.: Drilling Confirms Broad Gold Zones at Kelly Creek Prospect

Cedar Mountain Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CED) ("Cedar Mountain" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the initial drill results from the Kelly Creek
Project on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska. Drill core assay results from the first
18 diamond drill holes (1820.5 metres) at the Kelly Creek Prospect have
confirmed the presence of broad intervals of gold mineralization in sheared and
brecciated carbonaceous schist.


"We are very encouraged by the results of our 2011 drilling at the Kelly Creek
Prospect," stated Charles Chebry, President and CEO. "The drill results confirm
the presence of zones of bedrock gold mineralization which were targeted from
broad soil geochemistry targets generated last year. The 2011 drilling indicates
that the best grades are associated with zones of quartz veining and
stockworking within fractured and sheared carbonaceous schist and ongoing
studies will allow us to effectively target the mineralized trends in future
campaigns," added Mr. Chebry.


Eighteen drill holes totaling 1820.5 m were completed on the Kelly Creek
prospect in 2011. Eight holes (11KC01-05 and 11KC10-12) targeted a strong linear
soil anomaly first tested by Anaconda in 1984, four holes (11KC06-09) tested
possible extensions of this zone to the southeast, and six holes (11KC13-18)
tested another area with a strong soil anomaly in the headwaters of Kelly Creek.


The drill results (see Table 1) confirm the gold-bearing zone first drilled by
Anaconda (11KC05; 1.04 g/t Au over 26.8 metres). This zone extends 500 metres
northeast to near Kelly Creek (11KC12; 0.85 g/t Au over 16.5 metres, including
1.34 g/t Au over 7.5 metres) and remains open to the northeast. The drill holes
in the headwater area of Kelly Creek identified one strong but narrow
mineralized zone (11KC14; 2.27 g/t Au over 3.10 metres) which has not fully
explained the source of the strong gold-in-soil anomaly in this area.


The results from the Kelly Creek Prospect are the initial tranche (18 holes in
1820.5 metres) of 4815.2 metres in 45 holes completed at the Kelly Creek Project
in 2011. Results for all the drill holes at the Wolf (four holes totaling 469.6
m), Wolverine (seven holes totaling 755.4 m), South Fox Zone 1 (seven holes
totaling 864.6 m), South Fox Zone 2 (three holes totaling 237.2 m), and North
Fox (6 holes totaling 668.5 m) prospects are pending.
