SBW Strongbow Exploration Inc

Strongbow Exploration Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SBW) is pleased to announce the
acquisition of the Inza copper-gold porphyry prospect within the prolific
Quesnel Trough in central British Columbia. The 7,260 ha property is road
accessible, located 54 km north northwest of Fort St. James. Previous work in
this area by Rio Algom in 1990 identified three broad multi-element soil
geochemical anomalies coincident with a regional magnetic anomaly. The soil
anomalies range in approximate size from 800 m by 800 m to 2,000 m by 2,000 m.
At the time of this work, the area had not been logged and access was by
helicopter. In September 2008, Strongbow conducted a brief field evaluation,
resulting in the collection of four rock samples from an altered
biotite-feldpsar porphyry identified along a logging road that crosses one of
the Rio Algom soil anomalies. All four samples returned anomalous metal values,
including 136 ppm to 9,450 ppm copper, background to 798 ppb gold and 34 ppm to
711 ppm molybdenum. This subcropping intrusive rock coincides with the western
edge of a subtle magnetic low within the larger magnetic anomaly, potentially
indicative of magnetite destruction relating to silica and/or potassic
alteration that is often associated with porphyry-style deposits. Follow up
mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys are planned for 2009.


Strongbow has acquired 5,845 ha of the Inza property directly by staking and
will gain clear title and ownership of the remaining 1,415 ha through two
recently completed claim purchase agreements. Under the terms of the first
agreement, Strongbow will acquire a 100% interest in three mineral claims (claim
numbers 580141, 580143 and 580279) by issuing Kelly Funk 125,000 common shares
of Strongbow. Under the second agreement Strongbow will issue 125,000 common
shares to John Bot to acquire ownership of an additional two mineral claims
(claim numbers 580125 and 580126). Closing of both agreements is subject to
approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.


Samples collected during the 2008 field evaluation were submitted to Acme
Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver, BC for 36-element ICP-MS aqua regia (1DX)
analysis. Strongbow's exploration programs are conducted under the supervision
of David Gale, P.Geo. (BC), Vice-President of Exploration for Strongbow and a
Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.
