TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – Nov. 12, 2012) – Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CO) (“Orebodies” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the summer drill program at the Haig Inlet Iron Project (“Haig Inlet”), located on the Belcher Islands in Nunavut, Canada. In total, 6,469.6 meters (m) were drilled in 38 holes spanning four separate target areas: Haig West, Haig South, the Haig North Extension, and Kihl Bay. Resource and technical information gained from this program will be used to generate an updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate by the first quarter of 2013.
“This year’s drill program was very successful in outlining the vast potential that the Belcher Islands hold,” said Gordon McKinnon, President & CEO of Canadian Orebodies. “We traced the iron mineralization in a north-south direction for 25km at Haig West, 8km at the Haig North Extension, and 10km at Kihl Bay. Additionally we improved our understanding of the Haig South area, where we already had a small inferred resource from last year’s program.”
Assays for the first 12 holes were released on October 10, 2012 and November 5, 2012, further assay results will be released when they are received.
