CROWFLIGHT PROVIDES BUCKO MINE UPDATE
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.
