CROWFLIGHT RESUMES NICKEL CONCENTRATE SHIPMENTS FROM BUCKO MINE

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (“Crowflight” or the “Company”) (TSX: CML) is pleased to announce that shipments of nickel concentrate from the Bucko Lake Nickel Mine (“Bucko Mine”) located near Wabowden, Manitoba recommenced the week of March 15th.

This marks the first shipments of nickel concentrate since milling operations resumed at the Bucko Mine earlier this month. The Company continues to focus on increasing production rates to reach its start-up target of 1,000 tonnes per day (tpd) production for the second quarter of 2010, which is expected to increase to 1,200 tpd during the second half of the year.

Crowflight’s President and CEO Mark Trevisiol commented, “We are very pleased to have the Bucko Mine producing nickel concentrate once again, particularly with nickel prices reaching US$10 per pound recently. We are proud of the achievements that our employees and Crowflight’s mining contractors have accomplished. A lot of progress has been made in a very short period of time, which has culminated with the restart of the Bucko operation.”

As part of its offtake agreement with Xstrata, all nickel concentrates produced from the Bucko Mine are being shipped to Xstrata's smelter in Sudbury, Ontario.
