PEDIMENT ANNOUNCES PROPERTY ACQUISITION IN MEXICO

Vancouver, BC – March 11, 2008, Pediment Exploration Ltd. (TSXV: PEZ) (“Pediment” or the “Company”) announces that it has entered into an agreement with arm’s length parties pursuant to which it will acquire five mining-exploration concessions located in the State of Baja California Sur, Mexico, comprising approximately 1,790 hectares.  The cost of acquisition would be a cash payment of C$11,250 and 25,000 common shares of the Company.  Company management is of the view that this acquisition will compliment the Company’s exploration program presently underway at its wholly owned San Antonio gold project in Baja California Sur.  This acquisition is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.


Two of these concessions, Triunfo Este Fr. 1 and 2, are located south of the Company’s Las Colinas historic gold resource, while two others, Triunfo Oeste Fr. 1 and 2, are located within the historic Triunfo silver-gold mining district located westerly of the main focus of Pediment gold exploration in the San Antonio project.  The Company plans, upon completing required approvals, to immediately incorporate the contiguous concessions in the San Antonio project’s on-going program of reconnaissance geophysical and geochemical surveying.  The expansion drill testing at San Antonio continues.


The Company also notes that it is in the advanced stages of evaluating the existing database of the La Colorada gold-silver project outside of Hermosillo, Sonora State, Mexico, and expects to further outline its plans for this project during the second quarter of this year.

 

Pediment Exploration Ltd. is a Canadian gold exploration company listed on the TSX Venture exchange under the ticker symbol “PEZ”, on the Frankfurt Exchange under ticker “P5E”, and on the OTC Bulletin Board under ticker “PEZFF”.

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 27E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended regarding the acquisition location, and future plans of the newly acquired concessions. Such statements include, without limitation, statements regarding future exploration activities by the Company and business plans. Although the Company believes that such statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct.

events. The Company cautions that any forward-looking statements by the Company are not guarantees of future results or performance, and that actual results may differ materially from those in forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, variations in the nature, quality and quantity of any mineral deposits that may be located, the Company's inability to obtain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for its activities, the Company's inability to produce minerals from its properties successfully or profitably, to continue its projected growth, to raise the necessary capital or to be fully able to implement its business strategies. The reader is referred to the Company's reports, publicly available through the Canadian Securities Administrators' System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval (EDGAR) System at www.sec.gov,  for a more complete discussion of such risk factors and their potential effects.


This press release contains information with respect to adjacent or similar mineral properties in respect of which the Company has no interest or rights to explore or mine.
