New Releases Initial infill drillling at El Creston encounters thick, high grade intervals of molybdenite mineralization, including 245.3 metres of 0.14% Mo in hole EC07-007 VANCOUVER, B.C., Jan. 14, 2008 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) -- Creston Moly Corp. ("Creston" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CMS) is pleased to announce that 16 vertical holes totalling 4,251 metres have been completed at the El Creston Molybdenum Project, Sonora, Mexico. All sixteen holes have been sampled and sent to ALS-Chemex's preparation lab in Hermosillo, Mexico. Analytical results for six of the sixteen holes have been received from ALS-Chemex's North Vancouver Lab. All drilling is taking place within and peripheral to the Main Molybdenum Zone of the El Creston Deposit. The objective of the ongoing infill drill program is to upgrade the existing inferred resources to the indicated category and to delineate the boundaries of the Main Molybdenum Zone deposit. The sixteen holes completed to date have been drilled within the eastern half of the deposit as shown in the accompanying location map. The map is also available at https://www.crestonmoly.com/i/maps/Creston_drillholes.gif. Assay results for total molybdenum and copper have been received for hole 1 and for holes 3 to 7. The results from holes drilled within the Main Molybdenum Zone are tabulated below: << ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hole Northing Easting Hole From To Inter- Mo Oxide Depth (m) (m) val % Zone (m) (m) From (m) To(m) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EC07-003 6386 3686 232.4 0 164.3 164.3 0.12 0-10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EC07-005 6195 3466 160.05 38.15 79.2 41.05 0.06 0-24 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EC07-006 6243 3516 240 160.1 193.47 33.37 0.15 0-30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- EC07-007 6355 3539 299.9 1.1 246.39 245.29 0.14 0-29 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- includes 11.5 110.7 99.2 0.23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holes 1 and 4 were drilled immediately south of the Main Molybdenum Zone,in order to define the southern boundary of the deposit. These two holes areweakly mineralized. Hole 5 encountered 41.05 metres of 0.06% Mo along thesouthern margin of the deposit. Holes 3, 6 and 7 all intersected strongmineralization over significant widths. In particular hole 7 penetrated245.29 metres averaging 0.14% Mo and included a 99.2 metre interval whichassayed 0.23% Mo. In both holes 3 and 7, strong molybdenum mineralizationstarts at or near surface. All six holes contain very low copperconcentrations (0.01 to 0.04%). The table above also shows the depth of the oxide zone. Samples from theoxide zone will be sent to Skyline Labs in Tucson to be analyzed formolybdenum oxide. This will determine the relative amounts of molybdenum oxideand molybdenum sulphide present within the oxide zone. It should be pointedout that molybdenum oxide is not recoverable by conventional flotationmethods. Mr. Jon George comments "This is the first batch of assays received fromholes drilled within the Main Molybdenum Zone and we are very pleased with theresults. These assay results not only validate previous drill results fromAmax, but also suggest that the sampling and preparation techniquesimplemented by Creston Moly may help in better defining the true grade of thedeposit". The infill drill program has resumed utilizing two diamond drill rigs. Sampling and QA/QC Drilling at El Creston is carried out by Layne Drilling employing twowireline rigs that recover HQ core. Where necessary the core is reduce to NQsize. The core is transported to a secure facility at the nearby Opodepe campwhere it undergoes geotechnical and geological logging. Prior to deliveringthe core to ALS Chemex preparation lab in Hermosillo, the core is photographedand all mineralized zones are photographed in detail. Blanks, standards,field and coarse reject duplicates, and pulp duplicates are inserted in thestream of samples prior to delivery to the preparation lab. Based on recommendations by Mine Development Associates ("MDA") of RenoNevada, the entire core is sent to the preparation lab in Hermosillo. MDA isthe independent consulting firm that has been retained to oversee QA/QCprocedures and to carry out the updated resource estimate of the El CrestonMain Zone following the completion of the ongoing drill program. The rationale for not sawing the core and retaining half of the sample isbased on two considerations: 1) portions of the molybdenite mineralization atEl Creston occur as loosely bound coarse flakes and clusters and 2) there isevidence of a nugget effect in parts of the deposit. Thus, the sampling of theentire core prevents or minimizes the loss of molybdenite due to corehandling, sawing, and washing. In addition, keeping the entire core maximizesthe sample volume, which should minimize any nugget effect and more accuratelyrepresent the mean grade of the deposit. Sample preparation in Hermosillo consists of crushing the whole intervalto minimum of (greater than)70% of the crushed sample passing a 2 mm screenand then splitting the -2mm crushed sample to produce a representative splitof 1,000 grams. Each 1,000 gram sample is then pulverized to at least 85%passing -75 microns. The pulps are then shipped to ALS-Chemex in North Vancouver to be analyzedfor total Mo% and Cu% using a four acid digestion and ICP-AES (Atomic EmissionSpectroscopy) finish. Samples from the oxide zone will be sent to Skyline Labsin Tucson to be analyzed for MO3 and copper oxide. The drill program at El Creston is being supervised by Fabrizio Colombo,PhD, P. Geo. Mr. David Fitch, an MDA representative spent a total of 20 dayson the property in mid October, late November - early December and was incharge of the chain of custody of a number of samples delivered to thepreparation Lab.

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.
