Crowflight Minerals Inc.: Crowflight Declares Commerical Production at Bucko Mine

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 10, 2009) - CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (the "Company") (TSX:CML) today announced that, as of June 1, 2009, it has achieved commercial production at its wholly-owned Bucko Lake Nickel Mine (Bucko) located in the Thompson Nickel Belt near Wabowden, Manitoba (commercial production being defined as throughput greater than 60% of mill nameplate capacity).

Initial production at Bucko commenced during December 2008 and the first shipment of nickel concentrate to Xstrata's integrated processing facility in Sudbury, Ontario was achieved by February, 2009. Crowflight has continued making regular shipments of concentrate to the Xstrata facility since that time.

Bucko Production Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for the month of May are as follows:

Tonnes processed: 20,041
Grade: 1.08% Ni
Average Tonnes Per Day (TPD): 647
Mill Performance: 64.7% of design capacity
Nickel Concentrate Produced: 660 Tonnes
Nickel Concentrate Grade: 20.3%
Contained Pounds of Nickel: 295,372
Recovery: 62%

Repairs to the cone crusher, modifications to the reagent distribution system and shaft conveyance maintenance resulted in eight lost days of processing during the month. Discounting these lost days, the mill throughput averaged 811 TPD and nine days saw processing rates average 969 TPD. Both the mill and mine performance KPI's continue to steadily improve as the operation ramps up to full production of 1,000 TPD, which is expected by mid-summer.

Underground mining activities continue to accelerate with two stopes producing from the 1,000 to 900 foot levels and the first stope between the 500 to 450 levels is scheduled for production during July.

In conjunction with the declaration of commercial production, Crowflight will make a royalty payment to Xstrata of CAD $500,000 as per the terms of the Earn-In Agreement.
