Airborne Survey Underway at Pele's Alliance Diamond Project.

TORONTO -- Pele Mountain Resources (TSX VENTURE:GEM) ("Pele" or the "Company") today announced the commencement of an airborne survey at its Alliance Diamond Project in northwestern Ontario. Exploration at Alliance is funded and operated by Trigon Exploration Canada Ltd. ("Trigon") (TSX Venture:TEL) which can earn up to a 60-percent interest from Pele in both the Alliance and Attawapiskat diamond projects.

Trigon is now flying the Alliance property using a proprietary airborne magnetic survey system on closely-spaced lines. This will be followed by targeted heavy mineral and Mobile Metal Ion sampling as drill locations are prioritized for a planned winter program. The Alliance Project includes more than 55 staked targets within the 6-million acre area of the Fort Hope Airborne Survey, flown on behalf of the Ontario Geological Survey.

All of Pele's diamond projects, including Alliance and Attawapiskat in the James Bay Lowlands and Festival further south near Wawa, lie on the Archean-age Superior Craton in northern Ontario. Archean cratons are the primary host of economic diamond deposits worldwide and Superior, the world's largest craton, has demonstrated its economic viability through the development of De Beers Canada's Victor Project, where commercial diamond production is anticipated in 2008. Earlier this week, Trigon announced a "renewed strategic focus" on the relatively under-explored Superior Craton through its "Ontario Diamond Exploration Initiative". Trigon has a proven exploration team whose strong technical skills contributed to the discovery of the first 50 kimberlite pipes at the Ekati Diamond Mine on the Slave Craton in Canada's Northwest Territories.

Pele Mountain Resources is an exploration play on the abundant mineral wealth of northern Ontario.
