Canadian Arrow Mines Intersects More Nickel

Kenbridge returns 6.23% Ni over 5.8 metres - continues to yield high grade zones in deep drilling
04:00 EDT Monday, March 10, 2008

SUDBURY, ON, March 10 /CNW/ - Canadian Arrow Mines, Ltd. (CRO: TSX-V) (the "Company") reports additional high grade nickel copper mineralization from drilling at the Kenbridge Nickel Project in Northwestern Ontario. Diamond drill hole KB-07-149 assayed 1.14% Ni, 0.30% Cu, 0.04% Co over a core length of 49 metres, including a high grade section of 6.23% Ni, 0.72% Cu, 0.18% Co over 5.8 metres. This intersection is located below the proposed open pit at approximately 250 metres elevation below surface.

Hole KB-07-149 and recently reported hole KB-07-180 (2.95% Ni, 0.82% Cu, 0.07% Co over 21.5 metres, including a high grade section of 7.21% Ni, 0.67% Cu, 0.19% Co over 5.5 metres) are both located on section 12504.5m N with KB-07-149 intersecting the deposit approximately 60 metres up dip of KB-07-180.

Hole KB-07-183 intersected the deposit at approximately the same elevation below surface as hole KB-07-180 (approximately 300 metres vertical) and was collared on Section 12415m N, which is 90 metres south along strike of KB-07-180.

Commenting on the results Kim Tyler, President of the Company, stated, "We continue to find excellent widths and grades to the mineralization below the proposed open pit portion of the deposit. Every hole we've drilled into the underground portion of the deposit is giving us a better understanding of the controls to the mineralization, particularly the higher grade zones. We will be using the results from these holes to upgrade the inferred resource in the underground portion of the deposit in our planned feasibility study.

Some of the recent work completed on modeling the deposit has led to the interpretation that some of the higher grade zones may in fact have shallow plunges and appear more continuous than previously interpreted. Testing the new plunge interpretation will require additional follow up exploration drilling including the possibility of plunge extensions beyond the known mineralized envelope both to the north and south of the deposit.

Over the last few weeks we have been able to get through a significant amount of the assay backlog. We still have approximately 15 drill holes of assay results for the Kenbridge Nickel Deposit and will await those final results before prioritizing the next phase of drilling in the immediate vicinity of the deposit.

As mentioned in a previous press release (February 28, 2008) we have recently commenced drilling on other prospective targets near the Kenbridge property and will be systematically testing several nickel-copper showings over the next couple of months. Currently we are drill testing targets south of Kenbridge in the Denmark Lake claim group and will be reporting assay results as they become available. Additional, high priority regional targets include the Apex, Glatz and Emmons-Prigg nickel-copper-platinum-palladium occurrences."

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 ISO 17025 accredited Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Samples analyzed for base metals (nickel, copper, and cobalt) are digested using aqua regia with an atomic absorption finish.
The exploration program is being carried out under the direction of the Company's Vice President of Exploration, Todd Keast P. Geo., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
