Ardito Martohardjono Resigns as a Director of Desert Mountain Energy

Vancouver, British Columbia — DESERT MOUNTAIN ENERGY CORP. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: DME) reports that Ardito Martohardjono has resigned his position as a Director of the Company in order to accept a full-time position with Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd. (“BV”), an international leader in testing, inspection and certification. That position precludes him from sitting on the board of directors or serving as an executive officer of any resource companies. BV has performed chemical assay tests on mineral samples for the Company over the years and we anticipate that relationship continuing in the future.

We wish to thank Ardito for his dedicated professional service to the Company and its predecessor Pan African Mining Corp. over the past fifteen years. He has been a loyal member of our Board whose contributions have been greatly appreciated. We will miss Ardito and wish him every success in his new professional endeavor.
