Canadian Arrow reports more significant platinum group mineralization on
fourth nickel-copper target
SUDBURY, ON,
Most significantly drill hole EM-09-04 intercepted 0.21% Ni, 0.62% Cu, 0.62 gpt PGM+Au and 4.4 gpt Ag over a 2.1m interval. Mineralization is hosted within a gabbro-pyroxenite intrusive host similar to the recently discovered Double E ultramafic intrusion previously reported by the Company (

During 2008 the Company conducted reconnaissance prospecting, mapping and sampling. From the 33 grab samples collected in and around the vicinity of the Emmons showing 9 samples contained elevated PGM+Au values between 0.141 to 1.24 gpt. The significant surface sample assay results tabled below are reported from field work completed by the Company in 2008 and filed for assessment with the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.

Two remaining targets, North Glatz and Prigg, are planned for first pass drilling in the Turtlepond area this season. Additional follow up drilling will be planned upon completion of pending detailed ground geophysical surveys.
Analytical Method -----------------
Mineralized diamond drill hole intervals reported are down hole core lengths only. NQ diameter drill core samples are split in half; one half being retained in its original core box and the second half sent to an independent commercial laboratory for analysis. Samples are analyzed by ALS Chemex Laboratories in
The exploration program is being carried out under the direction of The Company's Vice President of Exploration,
About Canadian Arrow Mines:
Canadian Arrow Mines Limited is focused on acquiring and developing nickel sulphide deposits near existing infrastructure. The Company's principal asset is the Kenbridge Project, a nickel-copper sulphide deposit containing over 44,000 tonnes of nickel in the measured & indicated classes, (Sedar,
- Measured Resource: 3,546,000 tonnes grading 0.45% nickel, 0.24% copper, 0.015% cobalt. - Indicated Resource: 3,593,000 tonnes grading 0.79% nickel, 0.42% copper, 0.018% cobalt.
The deposit remains open in three directions, is equipped with a 620 m shaft and has never been mined.
* National Instrument 43-101: Mr. E. Puritch, P. Eng., Ms. Tracy Armstrong, P.Geo., and Antoine Yassa, P.Geo. of P&E Mining Consultants Inc. are the independent qualified persons for the Kenbridge resource estimates.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.
