Creston Moly Corp. ("Creston" or the "Company")
(TSX-V: CMS) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Mexican subsidiary,
Exploraciones Global S.A de C.V. (�Global�), has acquired the surface rights
covering 1,200
hectares (3,000 acres) from the Ejido of Opodepe, Sonora,
Mexico. The surface rights cover the Main El Creston deposit and the
surrounding area, which will be used to accommodate future development.
Jonathan George, President and CEO, comments; "This is a crucial step on
the path to production and unique in that it is an outright purchase rather
than the more typical lease arrangement. It also underscores the co-operative
relationship the Company has established with the people of Opodepe".

1. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do
not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimates of mineral resources
may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title,
taxation, sociopolitical, marketing or other relevant issues.
2. The quantity and grade of reported inferred
resources in this estimation are conceptual in nature and there has been
insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or
measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will
result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category.
3. The mineral resources referred to herein have been
estimated in an NI 43-101 technical report (the �P & E Report�) prepared
for the Company in January 2008 by independent qualified persons Eugene
Puritch, P. Eng. and Dr. Wayne Ewert, P. Geo. of P&E Mining Consultants
Inc. The P & E Report is available at www.sedar.com.
Luca Riccio, PhD, P. Geo, a Qualified Person as
