CML Canickel Mining Limited

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company)(TSX VENTURE:CML) is pleased
to announce that it has received its Environment Act License from the province
of Manitoba. This permit will allow Crowflight to commence production at the
Bucko Lake Nickel Project, located near Wabowden, Manitoba.


Due to the extended schedule for completion of the federal permitting process to
allow Crowflight to store tailings in Bucko Lake and the likelihood that federal
permits would not be available by the time the mine would be ready to start
production in the third quarter of 2008, Crowflight decided to consider
alternative means of bringing the project into production. To this end,
Crowflight submitted a Notice of Alteration (NOA) to its original Environment
Act License Proposal in December 2007 to include the provision for an interim
land-based tailings storage facility (ITSF) that would allow for up to 12 months
of tailings to be stored on surface, assuming 50% of the tailings are disposed
underground in mined out areas as originally planned.


Mike Hoffman, Crowflight's President and CEO commented: "We are pleased to have
received the Environment Act License from the provincial government, as it gives
us the green light to commence production at the Bucko Lake Nickel Project this
year. We feel that the interim land-based tailings storage is the best solution
to allow us to begin operations at Bucko upon completion of site construction.
This interim alternative will ensure the safety and protection of the
surrounding environment and will enable us to start production in the third
quarter of 2008, while allowing the federal permitting process for the use of
Bucko Lake as a Tailings Impoundment Area to be duly completed. We continue to
work closely with our local communities, the government of Manitoba and the
federal government to expedite the federal permitting process."


Due to the nature of the design of the ITSF, only provincial permitting is
required. However, Crowflight is still engaged in, and will continue with, the
process of securing federal environmental permits for the use of Bucko Lake as a
Tailings Impoundment Area (TIA) for long-term tailings storage. One of the major
milestones in the federal permitting process occurred in November 2007 and in
February 2008 with the Section 35 Aboriginal Consultation with the community of
Wabowden and the First Nation community of Cross Lake. The next milestone in the
federal permitting process should occur in the second quarter of 2008 with the
release of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) screening
environmental assessment (prepared by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in cooperation
with Transport Canada) relating to the use of Bucko Lake as a TIA.


Once the final approval for the proposed TIA is obtained from the federal
government, Crowflight plans to transfer the tailings stored in the land-based
ITSF to the Bucko Lake TIA, as this method is considered the most
environmentally-sound approach for secure, long-term tailings storage.


The current construction schedule estimates that the commissioning of the
processing plant and ore throughput ramp-up will occur in the third quarter of
2008, with mill commissioning expected in July and the first ore to be processed
through the mill in August of 2008.
