Crowflight Discovers New Zone of Mineralization at M11A North; Intersects 26.7 Metres Grading 1.30% Nickel

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company) (TSX VENTURE:CML) today
announced further assay results from its 2008 winter drilling program that
recently concluded in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba.


Exploration diamond drilling has intersected what is interpreted to be a new
zone of nickel sulphide mineralization located beneath the M11A North deposit,
approximately 4 kilometres north of the Bucko Lake Nickel Deposit (Bucko) that
is currently under development. Of particular note is Hole M08-03 that
intersected 26.7 metres (87.5 feet) grading 1.30% nickel including 5.76 metres
(16.6 feet) grading 3.06% nickel.


In addition to encouraging results at M11A North, Crowflight has intersected
additional nickel mineralization at its Halfway Lake deposit. Please refer to
Table 1 for a summary of results received to date and Figure 1 for a map
depicting the location of drilling.


Greg Collins, Crowflight's Vice President of Exploration, commented on the
results stating: "The results from hole M08-03 represent some of the highest
grade mineralization over the longest interval that we have encountered at M11A
North to date. In 2007, work near M11A focused on establishing a NI 43-101
compliant Inferred Resource following the initial discovery of the deposit in
2006. Hole M08-03 appears to have intersected a new Lower Zone of mineralization
located beneath the known resource that remains open along strike and at depth.
Overall, results from the 2008 winter exploration program continue to
demonstrate the potential for resource additions near Bucko and provide new
options for Crowflight to support future expansion or extended mine life at its
Bucko operations."

Intersection intervals reported are core lengths, actual true widths are
unknown at this time but are generally 70 to 80% of core length. Once known,
true widths are calculated for each intersection. These could vary somewhat
from time to time as the zones are re-interpreted thereby altering the
geometry.



During the 2008 winter program, Crowflight completed 21 drill holes for a total
of 8,200 metres and has received assay results for 12 holes thus far. Results
from the remaining nine holes will be released over the coming weeks as assay
results become available. Crowflight will also be updating the resource
estimates on its Halfway Lake, Apex and M11A deposits as exploration results are
received and analyzed.


Crowflight expects to begin its drilling program on the Manibridge joint venture
with Pure Nickel in mid-May 2008. For now, the Company has temporarily ceased
drilling activities in Manitoba due to conditions related to the annual spring
thaw.


Over the coming months, Crowflight plans to complete studies on increasing
overall mine reserves at Bucko by lowering the cut-off grade from 1.4% nickel to
approximately 1.0% nickel and utilizing the mill capacity of 1,500 tonnes per
day. A planned Cdn$2.0 million underground delineation drill program is in
progress at Bucko. The drill results from this program will be used to increase
the confidence of underground reserves, determine the potential for resource
additions, optimize cut-off grades and obtain further geotechnical information
to finalize the mine design.


Qualified Person/Quality Control Procedures

This press release has been prepared and reviewed by Mr. Greg Collins, P.Geo
(APGO/APEGM), a Qualified Person under the NI 43-101 guidelines. Fire assays
were performed at the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Vancouver on all the samples for
Gold and PGE's which undergo an ICP-AES finish and Sodium Peroxide Fusion. All
other metals undergo an ICP-AES finish. Standards and blanks are submitted with
each sample batch.
