Nickel King project metallurgical study

Strongbow Exploration Inc. has received the results of a metallurgical study of the Main Zone nickel-copper-cobalt deposit at its wholly owned Nickel King project, in the Northwest Territories, Canada. Based on results of locked cycle testing, the grade of final concentrate was projected to be 16.5% Ni, 4.2% Cu and 0.74% Co. Recoveries of Ni, Cu and Co are reported as 78.4%, 89.1% and 63.5%, respectively. The metallurgical program was carried out at SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario, and was intended to provide Strongbow with initial metallurgical criteria for the Main Zone deposit, including chemical and mineralogical analysis, as well as grindability, flotation and heavy liquids testing. The metallurgical study was completed on a 120kg composite sample from the Lower Sill of the Main Zone. The composite sample was collected from 2008 drill hole NK08-36, and had an average total nickel content of 0.65%.
