Crowflight Minerals Inc. (“Crowflight” or the “Company”) (TSX: CML) announces today that it has closed the second tranche of its previously announced private placement financing with Kingplace Enterprises Limited (“Kingplace”) for gross proceeds of approximately Cdn$8,816,695.

Kingplace is a private British Virgin Island company controlled by Chinese businessman, Shaofeng Ge. Kingplace is seeking strategic investments in mining opportunities. Kingplace approached the Company though Hebei Wenfeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. ("Hebei Wenfeng"), a significant Chinese steel producing company. Hebei Wenfeng initially approached Crowflight to express its interest in potentially making either an offer to acquire the outstanding shares of Crowflight or a strategic investment in Crowflight. Following initial discussions, it was determined that this strategic investment would be made by Kingplace. Crowflight understands that, while Kingplace and Hebei Wenfeng are not affiliated entities, they may act jointly or in concert with each other from time to time in respect of investments, which may in the future include further investments in Crowflight. The Crowflight Board of Directors continues to review its strategic alternatives.
