DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the "Company") (TSXV: DME) (U.S. OTC: DMEHF) (Frankfurt: QM01) From the President of the Company.

Desert Mountain Energy's contractor, GENERON, has begun fabrication of the McCauley Helium Processing Facility. The processing facility is the first solar-powered helium processing facility in the world. In addition to using solar energy, the Company will also use hydrogen that was discovered in the McCauley Helium Field as a backup energy source. To remain efficient and save money, DME's engineering teams designed the McCauley Helium Processing Facility utilizing mostly off-the-shelf components. Connections are designed with the highest structural strengths to ensure a long-life span with multiple redundant critical aspects.

"We are excited that GENERON has begun assembly on the McCauley Helium Processing Facility," says Robert Rohlfing, CEO of Desert Mountain Energy Corp. "DME has proven that we can discover helium and the plant will demonstrate that we can produce, process and sell it directly to end-users. Plant startup, which is scheduled for completion some time in the third quarter, is a major component of our goals. The worldwide helium supply continues to be in critically short supply and DME is striving to be part of the solution."

The Company has also completed work on wells 5, 6 and 7 with flow gas samples being sent by ground transportation to an independent lab for gaseous analysis.
