Crowflight's Final Results From Winter Exploration Drilling Further Indicate Potential to Expand Bucko Project and

TORONTO, ONTARIO, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company) (TSX VENTURE: CML)
today announced final assay results from its 2008 winter exploration
drilling program in the Thompson Nickel Belt, Manitoba. Results include
hole HW08-11 drilled at Halfway Lake that intersected 15.12 metres (49.6
feet) grading 1.24% nickel, as well as other encouraging assay results
from the Halfway Lake and Bucko North target areas.

A key objective of the 2008 winter exploration program was to identify
additional sources of potential mill feed proximal to the Company's Bucko
Lake Nickel Project (Bucko), located outside Wabowden, Manitoba. The
program was successful in identifying new occurrences of mineralization
at Halfway Lake, the M11A North Zone and the Bucko North target. These
areas are located 20 kilometres, 5 kilometres, and 400 metres
respectively from the mill at Bucko, which is scheduled to commence
production by the third quarter of 2008.

In summary, 21 holes for a total of 8,200 metres were completed during
the winter program. Please refer to Figure 1 for a map depicting the
drilling locations and Table 1 for a summary of new and
previously-released assays for the 2008 winter program.

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.

Greg Collins, Vice President of Exploration for Crowflight Minerals,
commented on the results of the winter program stating: "The results from
the winter exploration program continue to demonstrate the potential of
our 700 square kilometre land package in the Thompson Nickel Belt.
Drilling at the M11A Zone resulted in the discovery of a new high grade
lens, less than 5 kilometres north of milling operations at Bucko. At
Halfway Lake, drilling confirmed extensions that we expect to enhance the
grade and tonnage of the current resource. Drilling on the Bucko Lake
North intrusion has confirmed the presence of higher grade nickel
sulphide mineralization at depth less than 400 metres north from the
planned underground workings at Bucko. These activities are positive
developments for our Company in that they further expand our options for
growth at our soon-to-be producing Bucko mine in Wabowden."

Discussion of Results

Halfway Lake

At Halfway Lake, 11 holes totaling 4,529 metres were completed.
Highlights include hole HW08-02, intersecting 13.03m grading 1.58% nickel
(previously released) and hole HW08-11 which intersected 15.12m grading
1.24% nickel, including 7.14m grading 1.57% nickel. Drilling has
confirmed extensions to the previously identified resource that are
expected to enhance the grade and tonnage of the known resource.

M11A Zone

Near the M11A target, three holes totaling 1,315 metres were completed.
Highlights include hole M08-03, a new high grade lens located beneath the
known M11A North resource which intersected 26.7m grading 1.30% nickel
including 5.76m grading 3.06% nickel (previously released). Holes M08-01
and M08-02 targeted other portions of the M11A intrusion located more
than 500 metres south of the mineralization intersected in M08-03.

Bucko North

Drilling on the Bucko North target included the completion of four holes
totaling 1,638 metres. Two holes investigated the near surface potential
of the intrusion for condemnation purposes and have confirmed that there
is no open pit potential beneath the site of the future tailings storage
area. Deeper drilling targeting areas 300 metres below surface confirmed
the presence of higher grade nickel sulphide mineralization first
identified by drilling in 2007. Hole BX07-01 intersected 7.5 metres
grading 0.78% nickel including 1.5m grading 2.19% nickel (previously
released). Highlights from hole BX08-04 include narrow intervals of
nickel sulphide mineralization containing up to 2.31% nickel. The results
of the 2008 program indicate that future work on this target located 400
metres north of planned workings at Bucko may be best achieved once
underground access from the Bucko Mine is available.

Apex Zone

Near the Apex target, three holes for 718 metres were completed. The
holes were drilled to test exploration targets located more than 500m
north and south of the previously defined resource at Apex. One hole
(AP08-02) was lost in casing and did not reach its target objective.
Holes AP08-01 and AP08-03 intersected magnetic gneiss, explaining the
targeted geophysical anomaly. The resource potential at Apex zone remains
open for expansion at depth.

Results from this program will be used to generate updated resource
calculations at Halfway Lake and M11A North and be used to further refine
the focus of resource expansion drilling near Bucko.

2008 Summer Drilling Program at Manibridge

Crowflight and Pure Nickel plan to commence drilling nickel exploration
targets identified close to the past-producing Manibridge Mine in early
June. Results from this program will be released through the summer and
early fall of 2008 as they become available.

Underground Drilling at Bucko

Crowflight continues to conduct underground drilling from the 1,000 foot
level of the Bucko Lake Nickel Project, with the intent of obtaining
further geotechnical information on the deposit and upgrading the mineral
resource and reserve estimates. It is expected that results from this
program will be released through the late spring and fall of 2008 as they
become available.

Qualified Person/Quality Control Procedures
