VA... Oct. 19 /CNW Telbec/ - Creston Moly Corp. ("Creston" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CMS) is pleased to provide the following progress report on its Creston Molybdenum project located in the State of Sonora,Mexico.
Six holes of a proposed 40 hole infill drill program have been completed. The program is being supervised by Dr. Fabrizio Colombo, Ph. D., P. Geol, with a team of Mexican geologists, technicians and labourers working out of newly established facilities in the nearby town of Opodepe.
A rigorous QA/QC program has been implemented and is being monitored by Mine Development Associates (MDA) of Reno, Nevada.
Concurrently with the above program, the Company is conducting a regional exploration program on its 18,000 hectare holdings, consisting of interpretation of aster anomalies, prospecting, mapping and sampling.
We are pleased to report initial follow up has resulted in the discovery of a new molybdenite bearing quartz vein/stockwork situated 1.5 km northeast of the Creston Main Zone.
Additionally, airborne orthophoto mapping has been completed by McElhaney Engineering Services of Vancouver. This will provide detailed topographic maps for use in mine planning.

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 compliant technical report (the "P & E Report") prepared for
the Company in March 2007 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.
