CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company) (TSX VENTURE:CML) is pleased
to announce results from exploration activities conducted in partnership with
Pure Nickel Inc. (TSX:NIC) near the past-producing Manibridge Nickel Mine. The
program, initiated in June of 2008, focused on the investigation of several high
caliber nickel exploration targets located near the site of historical mining
activity conducted by Falconbridge Ltd. during the early 1970s on the property.


Drilling has resulted in the discovery of two nickel zones located within 400
metres of past production and has confirmed an extension to the Manibridge
deposit itself at depth. Assay results from the program include: 16.75 metres
grading 1.38% nickel from hole MN08-01, 5.45 metres grading 1.18% nickel from
hole MN08-02, and 6.3 metres grading 1.37% nickel from hole MN08-04. Table 1
summarizes all assay results from the drilling program.

Intersection intervals reported are core lengths, actual true widths are 
unknown at this time but are generally 70% to 80% of core length. Once 
known, true widths will be calculated for each intersection. These could 
vary somewhat from time to time as the zones are re-interpreted thereby 
altering the geometry.



The objective of this phase of the program was to identify new occurrences of
mineralization associated with interpreted extensions to the Manibridge mine
stratigraphy. Crowflight's V.P. Exploration, Greg Collins commented on the
results of the summer program stating: "We are pleased with the results from our
first investigations near Manibridge as we continue to identify new sources of
potential mill-feed proximal to our operations at the Bucko Lake Nickel Project.
Additional drilling in these areas is required to assess the resource potential
of the intercepted mineralization, but for now the future looks promising near
Manibridge."


Discussion of Results

MN08-01 - Intersected 16.75 metres grading 1.38% nickel including 9.0 metres
grading 1.51% nickel associated with a new, near surface zone located
approximately 300 metres north of past production at Manibridge. This zone
remains open for expansion to the south and at depth.


MN08-02 - Intersected 5.45 metres grading 1.18% nickel that occurs 50 metres
below anomalous mineralization intercepted by historical drilling from
underground drilling in exploration drift at Manibridge. This zone remains open
for expansion at depths below 300 metres vertical.


MN08-03 - Hole was lost in casing at depth of 141 metres.

MN08-04 - Intersected 6.30 metres grading 1.37% nickel within broader zone
grading 0.95% nickel over 30.92 metres. This intercept confirms than an
extension of the Manibridge trend is open at vertical depths below 400 metres
and that a recently modelled interpretation for the plunge of the deposit to the
north, away from previously investigated areas may be correct.


MN08-05 - Intersected key nickel hosting ospwagon stratigraphy and ultramafic
rocks in the vicinity of the targeted magnetic feature but did not encounter any
significant nickel mineralization. Based on the magnetic model and the drilling
results, greater thicknesses of ultramafic would be expected if additional
drilling was to be completed south of this hole.


MN08-06 - Intersected magnetic gneiss associated with what is interpreted to be
key nickel hosting ospwagon stratgraphy explaining targeted anomaly. No
significant nickel values returned.


A total of six holes comprising 2,496 metres were completed. All holes will be
probed using downhole time domain EM geophysical instruments in preparation for
a program of follow-up drilling to commence in the coming months. The Manibridge
property is located approximately 20 kilometres south of Crowflight's mine and
mill complex located at Bucko Lake, near Wabowden, Manitoba. Please refer to
Figure 1 for a map depicting the location of the Manibridge Property and Figure
2 depicting the location of the discovered mineralization relative to previous
drilling and past production at Manibridge.
