CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (the "Company") (TSX: CML) today reported
additional assay results from underground drilling results at its
wholly-owned Bucko Lake Nickel Mine (Bucko) located in the Thompson
Nickel Belt near Wabowden, Manitoba.

Highlights from recent underground drilling include: 18.1 metres
grading 2.04% nickel in hole BUD-91 and 22.2 metres grading 2.11%
nickel in hole BUD-94. Table 1 provides a summary of the latest assay
interval results.  Please refer to the Company's press releases dated
June 25, 2008, October 1, 2008 and January 22, 2009, and March 9, 2009
for previously-announced assay results.

The purpose of this drilling was to delineate a zone of mineralization
interpreted to occur approximately 100 metres north of the currently
producing areas on the 1,000 foot level. Based on the results of this
drilling, development towards the Phase 2 mining area located between
the 1,000 foot and 900 foot levels is in progress. Mining from this
second area (referred to as the North Zone) is intended to sustain
increased rates of production from the underground for the duration of
2009 into 2010.

Crowflight's Vice President of Exploration, Greg Collins commented,
"Results from this program have been consistent with our expectations
for the North Trend and have confirmed new stopes containing nickel
values in excess of 2% nickel. Ore extraction from this second major
mining area on 1,000 foot level is expected to greatly enhance
production through the remainder of 2009 into 2010 by providing more
flexible mining access to consistent volumes of ores with high nickel
content."

Currently the focus of production at Bucko remains on stopes developed
between the 900 foot and 1,000 foot underground levels located in the
South Zone. In the surface ramp, development has now provided level
access to the 450 foot and 500 foot levels. Crosscuts through ore on
the 450 foot and 500 foot levels are providing development ore to the
mill in preparation for crown pillar stabilization and the extraction
of the first stopes located in the upper portion of the deposit, which
is expected to commence in the third quarter. Extraction of ore via the
surface ramp is expected to further supplement production rates at
Bucko in 2009.

Intersection intervals reported are core lengths;
actual true widthsrange between 80% and 100% of core length.

To date in 2009, a total of 8,600 metres in 39 holes have been
completed as part of the Phase 2 and ramp underground delineation and
exploration programs. Additional results from the final portion of the
Phase 2 program are expected over the coming weeks. The focus of
underground drilling has now shifted to delineation of stopes from the
ramp on the 450 foot to 600 foot levels. Initial visual results
(subject to confirmation by assaying) from this program have been
positive. Drilling plans in 2009 include the completion of drilling
from the 450 foot level ramp, infill of mineralization in the hinge
zone between 1,000 foot and the 800 foot level, and exploration of the
footwall zone from the 1,000 foot level exploration drift.

Crowflight also announces that it has finalized the
previously-announced working capital line of credit facility for up to
US$10 million from Auramet Trading LLC. This is intended to allow the
Company to leverage its receivables pipeline up to six weeks sooner to
bridge working capital requirements. The facility is scheduled to
remain in place until March 31, 2010 with annual renewals thereafter,
as mutually agreed.

As part of this facility, Crowflight will hedge the price of nickel and
possibly the Canadian/US dollar exchange rate at the time the nickel
concentrate is delivered to the smelter to mitigate the potential
impact of provisional pricing adjustments on final settlement of nickel
deliveries approximately three to five months in the future as per the
terms and conditions of the Xstrata Nickel -- Crowflight Smelter
Offtake Agreement.

Qualified Person/Quality Control Procedures
This press release has been prepared and reviewed by Mr. Greg Collins,
P.Geo. (APGO/APEGM) and VP Exploration of Crowflight, a Qualified
Person under the National Instrument 43-101 guidelines. All assays were
performed at the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Vancouver and undergo an
ICP-AES finish and Sodium Peroxide Fusion. Standards and blanks are
submitted with each sample batch.
