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

Desert Mountain Energy Corp. (DME) is pleased to announce that it has completed cased hole work on Wells 5 and 6. Completion work on Well 7 is anticipated to be completed later this week. Bottom hole pressures were within the expected values and the initial flow test and sampling for gaseous analysis have been completed. The Company made the decision to test the zones of interest, for future production within the McCauley Helium Field and on other DME properties. These lowest zones were then shut off and our main zones of interest for primary helium production were then perforated and tested with gas samples being sent via ground transportation to an independent lab for analysis.

"These 3 wells are expected to go online along with Wells 2 and 4," says Desert Mountain Energy Corp. CEO, Robert Rohlfing. "Results from Wells 5, 6 and 7 will be released as soon the laboratory test results are received. The Company is planning on drilling another wildcat well before summer, hoping to add another helium field to our current portfolio."

Desert Mountain Energy Corp. has set 350,000 options for officers, directors and consultants at a price of $3.30 for a term of 3 years.
