CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. ("Crowflight" or the "Company") (TSX: CML)
announces today that it has closed the first tranche of its previously
announced private placement financing with Kingplace Enterprises
Limited ("Kingplace") for gross proceeds of approximately
Cdn$11,183,305 million. Pursuant to the first tranche, Crowflight has
issued an aggregate of 44,733,221 common shares of the Company at a
price of $0.25 per share. The primary purpose of the proceeds from the

Kingplace is a private British Virgin Island company controlled by
Chinese businessman, Shaofeng Ge. Kingplace is seeking strategic
investments in mining opportunities. Kingplace approached the Company
though Hebei Wenfeng Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. ("Hebei Wenfeng"), a
significant Chinese steel producing company. Hebei Wenfeng initially
approached Crowflight to express its interest in potentially making
either an offer to acquire the outstanding shares of Crowflight or a
strategic investment in Crowflight. Following initial discussions, it
was determined that this strategic investment would be made by
Kingplace. Crowflight understands that, while Kingplace and Hebei
Wenfeng are not affiliated entities, they may act jointly or in concert
with each other from time to time in respect of investments, which may
in the future include further investments in Crowflight. The Crowflight
Board of Directors continues to review its strategic alternatives.
