NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

CROWFLIGHT MINERALS INC. (Crowflight, the Company) (TSX VENTURE:CML) is pleased
to announce that it has entered into an agreement with a syndicate of
underwriters led by Macquarie Capital Markets Canada Ltd. and including Cormark
Securities Inc. and TD Securities Inc. (collectively the "Underwriters"). Under
the agreement, the Underwriters will agree to find substitute purchasers or
purchase, on an underwritten private placement basis, 23,615,000 common shares
of the Company which qualify as flow-through shares for the purposes of the
Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Flow-Through Shares") at a price of $0.18 (the
"Issue Price") for each Flow-Through Share for total gross proceeds from the
private placement of $4,250,700. Crowflight will grant the Underwriters an
option, to purchase up to an additional 15,278,000 Flow-Through Shares
($2,750,040), exercisable at the Issue Price at any time up to 24 hours prior to
the closing of the offering (the "Closing Date").


Commented Mike Hoffman, President and CEO of Crowflight, "The proceeds of the
flow-through financing will be used primarily for the continued development of
the main access ramp from surface to the 1,000 foot level which is expected to
connect in June of 2009. The main ramp will facilitate access to multiple mining
areas and allow operational flexibility for material and personnel transport. In
addition, the completion of the ramp offers the potential for future expansion
of the mine."


Closing of the offering is anticipated to occur on or about December 17, 2008
and is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals including approval
of the TSX Venture Exchange, or such other stock exchange as the common shares
of the Company are then listed for trading at the relevant time(s). The
Flow-Through Shares are subject to resale restrictions for a period of four
months plus one day from the Closing Date.


The Underwriters will receive a commission of 6.0% of the gross proceeds raised
in the brokered private placement in cash. The Underwriters will also receive
compensation options (the "Compensation Options") equal to 6.0% of that number
of Flow-Through Shares issued in connection with the brokered private placement.
Each Compensation Option will entitle the Underwriters to purchase one non
flow-through common share of the Company at a price of $0.18 per share for a
period of 24 months following the Closing Date.


The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Flow-Through Shares
will be used to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses on the Bucko Lake
Nickel Project and other regional exploration that qualify as Canadian
exploration expenses for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and which will
be renounced in favour of the holders with an effective date of no later than
December 31, 2008.
