Title: Canadian Orebodies Files NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Haig Inlet Iron Ore Project

TORONTO, Mar 20, 2012 -- Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CO) ("Canadian Orebodies") is pleased to announce it has filed on SEDAR a NI 43-101 Technical Report ("Report") at www.sedar.com. The Report is with respect to Canadian Orebodies Mineral Resource estimate on the Haig Inlet Iron Ore Project, located on the Belcher Islands in Nunavut, Canada.

As reported previously in the press release dated February 6, 2012 an initial resource estimate on the property resulted in an indicated iron ore resource of 230 million tonnes at 35.17% iron and an additional inferred resource of 289 million tonnes at 35.47%.

In the report Mr. Wahl stated "The Kipalu Formation which hosts the Haig Inlet Mineral Resources exhibits many similarities to the Sokoman Iron Formation that hosts many existing iron ore producers. The area is prospective in terms of potential for both magnetite and hematite dominant oretypes." The author further stated "The project benefits from the upside potential to significantly expand Mineral Resources with further drill programs on multiple targets."

"The filing of this technical report marks another milestone and the findings echo management's belief that there is significant untapped discovery potential for both magnetite and hematite deposits on the Belcher Islands on top of what we have already established at Haig Inlet," says Gordon McKinnon, President and CEO of Canadian Orebodies. "We are extremely excited to commence the 2012 drill campaign outlined in the Report as it calls for another aggressive drilling season targeting multiple high priority target areas we believe could hold significant potential to expand on our tonnage which will further the Company's goal of establishing the Belcher Islands as a new iron ore district in Canada."

Canadian Orebodies is particularly enthusiastic about the Haig Inlet Project because it is located adjacent to tidewater in Hudson Bay, which opens up the possibility for direct ocean shipping to global markets.
This resource estimate has been completed in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 standards and the corresponding Technical Report is filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR and is also available on the Company's website. The resource estimate was completed by G Wahl, P. Geo., Principal of G H Wahl & Associates Consulting, who is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
