Canadian Orebodies Provides Update On The Haig Inlet Iron Ore Drill Program
=======================================================================
TORONTO, Aug 29, 2011 -- Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSXV: CO)
("Orebodies") is pleased to announce that it has completed over 5,600
meters (m) in 40 drill holes to date on Orebodies' Haig Inlet Iron Ore
Project, located on the Belcher Islands, Nunavut, Canada (the
"Property").
All 40 holes to date have been focused on the Kipalu Formation of
iron-bearing rocks, following up on the work previously carried out on
the Property in the 1950's by Belcher Mining Corporation Ltd ("BMC"),
in the central location around Haig Inlet. Of the 40 holes completed,
all have intersected iron oxide mineralization and the first 2 batches
of samples have been sent out for assay. Assay results for the first
set of holes will be released when they are received.
Orebodies continues drilling on the Property utilizing 3
Diamonddrills, with plans for the drilling to continue well into September for
as long as weather conditions allow, with the goal of establishing a NI
43-101 compliant resource estimate. The Property is appealing due to
the combination of its potential to host a large tonnage of iron ore
based on the historical resource estimate and the Property's proximity
to tidewater.
About the Property:
The Haig Inlet Iron Ore Project covers over 14,180 hectares on Flaherty
Island. A significant amount of exploration work, including numerous
widely-spaced
Diamond drill holes, was carried out on the property
during the 1950's by Belcher Mining Corporation Ltd. ("BMC"). BMC's
exploration programs targeted the Kipalu Formation of iron-bearing
rocks containing laterally extensive magnetite (with subordinate
hematite) iron formations of the Superior type. The Property is host to
a significant unclassified historical resource estimate of 907 million
tonnes grading 27% iron as defined in the government publication,
"Northern Mineral Policy Series; NM1: Mines and Important Mineral
Deposits of the Yukon and Northwest Territories, 1982* ".
This press release has been prepared under the supervision of Mr. Henry
Hutteri (P.Geo.), who is an independent consultant to the Company and a
"qualified person" (as such term is defined in National Instrument
43-101). Mr. Hutteri has verified the technical data disclosed in this
press release.
