VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2008) - Cream Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CMA)(OTCBB:CRMXF)(FRANKFURT:... 866036) ("Cream" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received permit approval to resume the excavator trenching program that began in the fall 2007 on the Goldsmith Property, located in southeastern British Columbia. The Goldsmith Property contains numerous historic (circa 1903), small, high-grade workings within a 3-kilometre belt of altered volcanic and sedimentary host rocks. High-grade gold mineralization occurs in numerous quartz veins that range up to 5 metres in width.
Previously, Cream obtained extremely encouraging results from rock grab and chip samples collected from the numerous small-scale historic workings (see News Release dated October 9, 2007). In 2007, six excavator trenches were dug in the area of the historic Bullock and Goldsmith workings. Two of the trenches were put in to cross-section the geology between old adits/trenches. One trench exposed the Goldsmith V2 vein for 64 metres along its strike, and three short trenches opened up areas where prior surface sampling (from a road cut) returned high gold assay results. An additional 20 excavator trenches, planned and permitted, will be excavated in early summer 2008 as soon as snow conditions allow. These proposed trenches include excavating around several of the historic workings, plus exposing bedrock in areas of geochemical and geophysical anomalies.
Results from the trenches completed to date show high gold values from rock chip and grab samples, most notably in trenches GT-1, GT-2 and GT-5 (see Table below).
