Period Nickel Quantity (lb) US$/lb Nickel Currency Hedge Cdn$/lb Nickel

Crowflight now has in total 2.97 million pounds of nickel hedged for 2009 at an average realized price of US$7.74 per pound nickel or Cdn$9.21 per pound nickel, which represents approximately 30% of planned 2009 production.

The forward sales contracts are considered derivative financial instruments and are used for risk management purposes and not for generating trading profits. Crowflight in conjunction with RMB may also implement future strategic currency and nickel hedges both to protect Crowflight cash flow and meet Lender requirements.

Commented Mike Hoffman, President and CEO of Crowflight, "Given the wide fluctuations we've seen over the last few months in metal prices, we felt it was prudent to lock in an additional portion of our 2009 production at the higher nickel prices experienced last week, while leaving room for us to benefit from any potential upside should nickel see any future price increases. We feel these measures provide the Company with further assurance of generating cash from Bucko in 2009, thereby putting us in a stronger position as we ramp up to full commercial production."

Production of nickel concentrate has begun at Bucko, with the first concentrate being produced in December 2008. Work is on-going to achieve full commercial production and preparations are being made for the first shipment of concentrate from Canada's newest nickel mine.
