Drilling Confirms Resources Beyond Existing Limits and Increased Grade

Creston Moly Corp. ("Creston" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CMS) is pleased to announce the results of the first five holes of a 5,000 metre drilling program on its molybdenum project in Sonora, Mexico.

Highlights of the drill program include intercepts of:

• 189.05 metres @ 0.091% molybdenum including 94.55 metres @ 0.150% molybdenum (Drill Hole EC10-67)
• 222.65 metres @ 0.074% molybdenum including 122.00 metres @ 0.100% molybdenum (Drill Hole EC10-70)

"We are extremely pleased with the results of our initial drilling as it is now very apparent that we have a much larger resource than originally determined." said Bruce McLeod, President & CEO. "Our goal of expanding the known resources of the Creston deposit is being achieved and additionally may provide a high grade, low strip ratio starter pit for the commencement of production as these new results contain high grade molybdenum values over large intervals."

Phase One 2010 Program

The company is well advanced on its 5,000 metre drilling program with 11 holes (3,225 metres) now completed. Drill results will be routinely released as the assaying results are available. The drilling program is part of a $4 million work program on the El Creston deposit(s) designed to advance the project towards completion of a feasibility study. In addition to the drilling there is geophysical and other ground work being conducted on the property however the purpose of the 2010 drilling is to:

• Expand the Creston Main Zone to the north where all of the northernmost holes located in the resource outline intersected significant molybdenum values along a 350 metre segment including sections of 186.05 and 160.55 metres respectively assaying 0.109% and 0.106% molybdenum.
• Complete in-fill drilling in areas of limited drilling within the Creston Main Zone Resource.
• Undertake testing of the Red Hill Zone with the purpose of defining a zone that may be incorporated into the proposed Creston Open Pit.
• Complete drill testing for structural, geotechnical, metallurgical and hydrological information.

Drilling Results

Drilling of holes EC10-68 and 70 (step out holes) produced lengthy intersections of significant grade molybdenum outside the present resource limits, resulting in a successful expansion of the Main Zone north of the existing resource limits. More specifically, Drill hole EC10-68 (an angled hole) intersected molybdenum bearing intersections up to 160 metres north of the present resource limits. In addition, the hole showed a significant improvement in the length of the intersections in comparison to Drill hole A-27 (52 metres averaging 0.043% molybdenum that included a 28 metre section averaging 0.068% molybdenum) located 100 metres to the south of the collar of drill hole EC10-68. Drill hole EC10-70, (a vertically drilled hole) was positioned approximately 30 metres north of the resource limits and 100 metres north of Hole EC08-37, which averaged 0.083% molybdenum over 175.62 metres.


Drill hole EC10-67 was positioned within the northern portion of the resource limits to test an area previously projected to contain molybdenum values at less than cut-off grade. The drill hole intersected a lengthy high grade section showing continuity of high grade molybdenum values to the resource limits. The hole compares favourably with Drill hole EC08-32 (an angled hole drilled to the north) located 125 metres to the west. This hole intersected 160.55 metres averaging 0.106% molybdenum. The results of this drilling will convert waste which was to be mined within the pre-existing pit design to mineable resources.

Drill holes EC10-66 and 69 were designed to test an area of lower grade mineralization on the northeast side of the El Creston Main Pit as projected in the block model used in the resource calculation. These results confirm the block model in this area.

El Creston Deposit

The Creston Molybdenum Deposit contains the following Mineral Reserves and in-pit inferred resources at a 0.037% Mo equivalent* cut-off grade:

Category	Tonnes (000's)	Mo (%)	lbs Mo (000's)	Cu (%)	lbs Cu (000's)
Proven Reserves	44,736	0.079	78,024	0.053	52,217
Probable Reserves	101,968	0.076	171,924	0.047	106,614

In-pit Inferred Resources	8,718	0.065	12,464	0.063	12,158

*Mo-equivalent cut-off: Mo%+(Cu/7.5).

The reserves were completed by Mine Development Associates, Reno Nevada using block modeling of drill core assays.

In 2009 a NI 43-101 compliant Pre-Feasibility Study ("PFS"), was issued by M3 Engineering & Technology Corporation of Tucson, Arizona ("M3"). Using a base case scenario of $15/lb Mo and $1.75/lb Cu M3 it was determined that the Creston Project has an after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") at an 8% discount rate of USD$306.02 million and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 20.2%.

Sampling and QA/QC

All of the samples collected were delivered by Company personnel to ALS-Chemex's prep lab in Hermosillo, Mexico where they were logged into the computer tracking system, crushed, split and a pulp sample prepared. The pulp sample was sent to ALS Chemex's laboratory in Vancouver, B.C for analysis by Inductively Coupled Plasma. ALS-Chemex is an ISO/17025 accredited laboratory. ALS-Chemex monitors quality control through the introduction of blanks, standards and duplicate sampling. In addition, Creston personnel routinely insert blanks and standards into the sample stream.
