Cream Minerals' Infill Drilling Confirms Dos Hornos Mineralized Zone Extends Over 1.2 kms (3/4 Mile) at Nuevo Milenio, Mexico - Silver up to 1,388.4 g/t
Vancouver, B.C. - September 5, 2007 - Cream Minerals Ltd. (TSX Venture - CMA) ("Cream" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that infill diamond drilling has confirmed the continuity of the Dos Hornos mineralized zone to 1,170 metres (3/4 mile) on the Nuevo Milenio Property in Mexico. This positive result strongly adds to the viability of the project and the justification for further expansion of the work.
We are now in receipt of assays for holes 24 to 27. Thirty-one diamond drill holes have been completed to date with nine having tested quartz veins parallel to the Dos Hornos #1 zone. Drilling now suggests that the zone has been slightly displaced by faulting into three segments, and is open to north and south. (See attached sketch).
Mr. Frank Lang, President and CEO of Cream Minerals Ltd. commented "The Management of the Company is very pleased with these results, which confirm the continuity of Segments 1, 2 and 3 and show significant mineralization over substantial widths. In all cases, experience has shown that grades have been reduced by weathering, faulting and leaching. Underground channel sampling in adits and shafts within the same vein fault has given higher and more consistent assay values when compared with drill core assays from the identical area."
The first segment from Adit 1 to DDH 01-03 is about 310 metres in strike length. The second segment from Trench 3 to DDH 07-29 is about 380 meters long and the third to the south has an indicated strike length of 480 meters.
Within these segments, the mineralized sections are quite variable in size and grade with widths up to 28 meters (92 feet) in DDH 02-06 and grades up to 19.30 g/t gold over 2 meters (6.56 feet) in the same hole. In DDH 07-23 the silver grade is up to 1,388.40 g/t over 2 meters (6.56 feet). (See previous news releases July 16/07 and March 21/07).
Results for holes DDH 07-23 reported previously and DDH 07-24, 25, 26 and 27, are as follows:

In DDH 07-24, gold-silver mineralization is located within an 18 meters wide fault vein and quartz stockwork zone cutting oxidized micro breccia. Fault breccia and gouge zones show leaching and oxidation suggesting loss of silver and gold values.
| DDH 07-25 - Segment 4 open to the South of Segment 3 |
No significant gold or silver values were received from this hole even though some drill core samples showed significant sulphides similar to those encountered in some parallel quartz veins, which suggests displacement of the mineralized zone to the northeast.

Values here in DDH 07-26 are spread out over two wide sections of 8.00 and 15.80 meters (26.24 and 51.82 feet) within which are quartz vein faults with gouge, breccia, strong oxidation and leaching resulting in relatively low values.

DH 07-27 is also a good wide zone of 11.90 meters (39.03 feet) partially faulted off due to its location within a fault gouge zone.
An example of obtaining lower grade results due to weathering, faulting and leaching is shown in channel sample results from historic shaft 12, which is 8 meters deep and located along the drill section of DDH 07-26 and DDH 07-27. Shaft 12 was sunk below the contact of the young rhyolite flow overlaying Dos Hornos Zone #1. The exposed vein in the shaft shows high gold values with no oxidation, minor faulting and some leaching of silver values.
