      Crowflight Provides Bucko Mine Update
=======================================================================

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. ("Crowflight" or the "Company") (TSX: CML)
today provided an operational update for the Bucko Lake Nickel Mine
(Bucko) located near Wabowden, Manitoba.

During the month of July, a new water treatment facility was installed
and commissioned at the Bucko Mine due to water issues that were
encountered at the end of June.  The new state-of-the-art water
treatment plant utilizes microfiltration and reverse osmosis
purification units. This installation is expected to allow Crowflight
to maintain its water balance while complying with all environmental
requirements.

Mill operations were halted during July due to a lack of available ore
from the main production stope.  Poor ground conditions in the stope
entrance required the development of a new stope access drift so that
mining operations could resume safely.  The new access was successfully
completed by the end of the month.

The mill resumed operation on August 4th, 2009 at a rate of 1,000
tonnes per day (tpd). A second stope is scheduled to begin production
during the latter half of August, providing additional production
flexibility.  Commissioning of the new backfill system is scheduled for
mid August.  This system will be used to fill the mined out stopes and
will enhance the continuity of mine production.
 
Pala Investment Holdings Limited's (Pala) recent strategic investment
provides Crowflight with a strong financial partner going forward. Both
Crowflight and Pala are committed to maximizing the potential of the
Bucko Mine.
