Cream Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CMA)(OTCBB:CRMXF)(FRANKFURT:DFL) ("Cream" or
the "Company") is pleased to provide results for seven exploration drill holes
completed on Cafetal-Veta Olvidada, The Cafetal-Veta Olvidada zone is located to
the east of Once Bocas South and trends SE/NW. This new zone is not included in
the current NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource.
Cafetal-Veta Olvidada is contained within the much larger Area Cafetal which has
dimensions of approximately 600 metres by 325 metres. Cafetal-Veta Olvidada is a
poorly exposed 10 metre wide composite zone of quartz breccia and quartz
veins-quartz stock work exhibiting intense weathering and oxidation. Detailed
geological mapping conducted in 2010 located quartz float trains, sub outcrops
and veins with associated quartz stock work. Other parallel quartz veins quartz
stock work zones have been mapped within Area Cafetal.
Drill hole DDH 16-03 (completed in 2003 and located at the south eastern portion
Cafetal-Veta Olvidada) tested an area of quartz float shedding along a contact
between rhyolite flows and rhyolite tuffs. It intersected several well defined
quartz veins and quartz stock work zones which returned good silver and gold
values. Brecciation and oxidation observed was minimal compared to the
northwestern outcrops of Cafetal-Veta Olvidada.
Cafetal-Veta Olvidada was drilled for a strike length of 400 metres of the 500
metres mapped on surface. The zone is open to the NW and to the SE.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DRILL RESULTS
Highlights include significant drill intersections (intersections are drill
widths, true widths are 50% to 70% of drill intersected width depending on drill
inclination).

Drill Hole CAF 03-11 encountered intense oxidation, brecciation and faulting of
the core suggesting leaching of the values. No significant silver or gold values
were returned.
Drill Hole CAF 04-11 is located along the north side of Arroyo San Miguel. Poor
ground conditions and excess water due to sub-tropical rains made in it
impractical to continue drilling. The hole was stopped short of its intended
depth.

Discussion:
The seven drill holes targeting the Cafetal-Veta Olvidada zone were intended to
test for and confirm the ten metre wide composite zone of quartz breccia, quartz
veins and quartz stock work. The drill results identified three parallel heavily
oxidized and leached quartz breccia zones showing 60% quartz fragments and 40%
rhyolite fragments. Widths of the three zones range from four metres to 25
metres containing narrower sections of varying silver-gold values. The
distribution of quartz breccia and quartz veins within the drill holes suggests
Cafetal-Veta Olvidada is a composite zone of multiple quartz-breccia and quartz
stock work structures.
CAF 06-11 and CAF 07-11 in the SE portion of the structure including drill hole
DDH 16-03 (completed in 2003) demonstrate a change in the vein composition from
quartz breccia to quartz veins and quartz stock work. In general higher values
were associated with the observed decrease of brecciation, oxidation and
leaching of the quartz vein quartz stock work zones. Leaching of silver values
produces residual grades which are lower than the primary silver grades however
it also implies the possibility of secondary enrichment below the level of
oxidation.
Cafetal-Veta Olvidada was drilled for a strike length of 400 metres of the 500
metres mapped on surface. The zone is open to the NW and to the SE.
The known structures within Area Cafetal are open to the NW and SE. With
additional quartz veins quartz stock work zones Area Cafetal represents another
important area of significant exploration potential at Nuevo Milenio.

This news release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities regulations and including "forwarding-looking
statements" within the meaning of the United States Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This forward-looking information is made as of
the date of this News Release and except as required under applicable securities
legislation, the Company does not intend and does not assume any obligation to
update this forward-looking information. Forward looking information is based on
management's current expectations and beliefs and is subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
information in this News Release includes, but is not limited to the planned
drilling program on the Nuevo Milenio project and the Nuevo Milenio project's
estimated mineral resource. Forward-looking information is based on a number of
assumptions which management believes are reasonable including that equipment,
personnel and approvals will be available when required to complete the planned
drilling program, that no disruption to the program will occur as a result of
breakdown, labour disputes, or natural hazards, that the assumptions underlying
the inferred resources estimate are valid, including but not limited to the
projected future prices of silver and gold, continuity of mineralization and
grades, and expected recovery methods and rates. Factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are
not limited to: the risk that actual results of exploration activities will be
different than anticipated, that cost of labour, equipment or materials are more
than expected, that the future price of silver and/ or gold will differ
materially from those implied or estimated, that Canadian / US dollar exchange
rates vary in a manner that has a negative effect on the resource estimate,
unanticipated delays in obtaining governmental approvals or required financing;
that changes in project parameters result in increased costs, of unexpected
variations in mineralization, grade or recovery rate and other factors on which
the mineral resource estimate is based, of failure of equipment or processes to
operate as anticipated, of accidents, labour disputes and other risks generally
associated with mineral exploration and development; a deterioration in general
economic conditions; and changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to
Cream and the Nuevo Milenio project.
CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. READERS REGARDING MINERAL RESOURCES
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") allows mining
companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral
deposits they can economically and legally extract or produce. The Company uses
certain terms in this document, such as "mineral resources", and "inferred
resources" that are recognized and mandated by Canadian securities regulators
but are not recognized by the SEC. U.S readers are cautioned that while the term
'inferred resource' is recognized and required by Canadian regulations, the SEC
does not recognize it. "Inferred resources" have a great amount of uncertainty
as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral
resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian rules,
estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or
pre-feasibility studies, except in rare cases. U.S. readers are cautioned not to
assume that part or all of an inferred resource exists, or is economically or
legally mineable.
