Crowflight Acquires Additional Ground Near Historical Producer in Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba

July 19, 2007 Filed Under: Mining Services, Nickel Mining  

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. is pleased to announce that it has acquired additional property adjacent to the former producing Manibridge Nickel Mine in the central portion of the Thompson Nickel Belt, approximately 15 kilometres south of its Bucko Lake Nickel project, currently under development.

Crowflight has added approximately 83 square kilometres (32 square miles) to its 100% owned property position near Clarke Lake through the staking of 38 claims peripheral to its existing claim blocks and through the acquisition of a property adjacent to the Manibridge Deposit referred to as the Owl Claim.

The Owl claim will be purchased from W.S. Ferriera Ltd. in exchange for $10,000 in cash, 25,000 Crowflight common shares and the grant of a 2% NSR on the claim. The issue of the shares to W.S. Ferreira Ltd. is subject to approval from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Greg Collins, Crowflight’s Vice President of Exploration commented on the acquisition of additional ground, stating: “This acquisition further secures our strategic position in the central portion of the Thompson Nickel Belt. The property hosts several known occurrences of nickel in close proximity to past production as well as exploration targets exhibiting similar geophysical characteristics to those associated with recent discoveries near Wabowden. The property will enable Crowflight to continue to develop and pursue high caliber exploration opportunities in close proximity to mining/milling infrastructure at Bucko Lake.”

Crowflight is the second largest landholder in the prolific Thompson Nickel Belt with an interest in approximately 700 square kilometres (270 square miles). With production from the Bucko Lake Deposit expected to commence during the second quarter of 2008, Crowflight is well positioned to further develop additional nickel exploration opportunities going forward. The Company’s exploration team intends to further enhance targeting in recently acquired areas by covering portions of the property with a high resolution airborne geophysical survey (VTEM), planned for completion later this summer.
