[Alteration of buck1.] Resource Study on the Bucko Lake Nickel Deposit recently completed by P & E Mining Consultants Inc. The Study indicates that the Bucko Deposit hosts (undiluted) Indicated Resources of 1.82 million tonnes grading 2.10% nickel and additional Inferred Resources of 1.55 million tonnes grading 1.88% nickel at a 1.5% nickel cut-off grade. Based on the continuity, thickness and grade of nickel mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. , the authors of the Study believe that excellent potential exists to upgrade significant portions of the Inferred mineralization to the Indicated Resource category either through surface and/or underground infill drilling programs. Additionally, the authors believe the opportunity exists to significantly expand the resource by exploring below the current level of drilling. Crowflight intends to further explore the deposit down to the 2000 Level (approximately 2,000 feet or 600 metres below surface) during the first half of 2006 with the objective of adding from 500,000 up to as much as 1,000,000 additional tonnes of Indicated Resources. Deeper Indicated Resource potential will be tested once the underground workings have been accessed and appropriately located drill stations can be established to more cost effectively test this potential from this underground access. Jean Lafleur Jean Lafleur is a Canadian businessman famous for his role in the Liberal Party of Canada sponsorship scandal. On April 27, 2007, Lafleur returned to Canada from a two-year stay in Belize, where he was reported to have lived in an exclusive villa and enjoyed fine wines. , Crowflight's Vice President Exploration stated: "Crowflight has all the evidence it needs to demonstrate continuity of the mineralization at Bucko, both with regard to tonnage and grade. The Company is now poised to further test the upside potential Upside potential The amount by which analysts or investors expect the price of a security may increase. upside potential The potential price or gain that may be expected in a security or in a security average, generally stated as the dollar at Bucko, and more significantly add Indicated Resources through further drilling of mineralized min·er·al·ize v. min·er·al·ized, min·er·al·iz·ing, min·er·al·iz·es v.tr. 1.

Both the company and the authors of the technical report believe the potential to expand the resources at Bucko are excellent in these areas. Mineral Resource Estimate The Technical Report on the mineral resource at the Bucko Lake Nickel Deposit was prepared by P & E Mining Consultants Inc. ("P & E") of Brampton, Ontario, an independent third party consulting firm which specializes in the study and determination of mineral resources and reserves. The full report, titled NI 43-101 Technical Report and Resource Estimate of the Bucko Lake Property by E. Puritch, P.Eng., and Dr. W. D. Ewert, P. Geo., will be available shortly on the SEDAR SEDAR System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval SEDAR Southeast Data, Assessment, and Review website at www.sedar.com under Crowflight Minerals Inc. The Technical Report outlines the resource estimate for Bucko, compliant with National Instrument 43-101 and NI 43-101F1, and forms an integral part of the feasibility study recently completed by the Company which has assessed the economic potential of developing the Bucko Deposit as an underground mine. Indicated and Inferred Resources by level at a 1.5% nickel cut-off grade are as follows:

Note: Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical so·ci·o·po·li·ti·cal adj. Involving both social and political factors. sociopolitical Adjective of or involving political and social factors , marketing, or other relevant issues. The determination of the mineral resources at Bucko is based on geostatistical block modeling using the inverse distance squared method of grade interpolation interpolation In mathematics, estimation of a value between two known data points. A simple example is calculating the mean (see mean, median, and mode) of two population counts made 10 years apart to estimate the population in the fifth year. . The database consisted of 57 underground and 76 surface diamond drill holes (including the recent Crowflight holes completed during the Summer 2005 drill campaign), minimum composite lengths of 1.5 metres, an internal dilution of 0.5% nickel (representing the background grade), assay grade capping, and a bulk density of 3.02 tonnes per cubic metre. The Indicated Resources used a 35 metre search ellipse ellipse, closed plane curve consisting of all points for which the sum of the distances between a point on the curve and two fixed points (foci) is the same. It is the conic section formed by a plane cutting all the elements of the cone in the same nappe. with a minimum of 2 drill holes and 3 samples. The 1.1% nickel cut-off grade used a 36 month trailing trading average nickel price of US$5.61 per pound. The preceding resource estimate sensitivity table was derived by applying a series of increasing nickel cut-off grades to the five domains which constrain the mineralization. These domains were developed utilizing an approximate 1.25% nickel cut-off grade. This 1.25% nickel cut-off grade was found to be the grade at which the domains demonstrate the optimal lithological and structural continuity along strike and down dip. This set of domains was subsequently used during the application of all cut-off grades within the sensitivity table.
