Marketwired
Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CO) ("Orebodies") is pleased
to announce drilling results from the first round of drilling on
the Falcon Lithium/Rare Metals property (the "Property"). The
Property is 100% owned by Orebodies (subject to a 2% NSR retained
by the vendor, 50% of which can be purchased by Orebodies for
$1,000,000).
Highlights
-- All three holes drilled on the Falcon Property intersected lithium
bearing pegmatite.
-- Hole# CO-10-001 assayed 1.50% Li2O over 4.0 meters and 1.25% Li2O over
5.0 meters.
-- Hole# CO-10-003 assayed 1.10% Li2O over 11.0 meters including 1.52% Li2O
over 6.0 meters.
-- Hole# CO-10-002 assayed 1.07% Li2O over 7.0 meters.
-- Drilling completed on the Tebishogeshik showing on the Zigzag
Lithium/Rare Metals property.
Falcon Property Overview
The Falcon Lake property consists of 60 claim units and is
located in the general area of Linear Metals Corp. Seymour Lake
Lithium/Tantalum/Beryllium Property, approximately 60 km northeast
of Armstrong, Ontario.
Falcon Drilling Overview
There were a total of 3 short holes drilled on the Falcon
property totalling 265 metres during Orebodies winter program.
Results from this initial program demonstrate that there is a zone
of lithium enrichment which contains anomalous quantities of rare
metals at depth, including tantalum, and verify some of the
historical work completed on the property. Results to date are very
encouraging and warrant additional follow up.

Highlights from Orebodies previous work on the Falcon property
include the following (for full results please see Orebodies Press
Releases dated March 11 and 18, 2010):
-- Channel #3 on the Falcon Property assayed 1.54% Li2O over 6.98 meters,
including 2.06% Li2O over 1 meters
-- Channel #9 on the Falcon Property which assayed 2.63% Li2O over 1.5
meters, including 3.19% Li2O over 0.56 meters
-- Individual grab samples which assayed 2.82% Li2O, 2.45% Li2O, 2.30%
Li2O, 2.26% Li2O
(Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to
represent future average grades on the property.)
Drilling Completed On Zigzag Property
Orebodies is also pleased to announce that the drilling program
announced in Orebodies press release dated January 10, 2011 on the
Tebishogeshik showing of its Zigzag Lithium/Rare Metals property
under option from Ultra Lithium Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ULI) ("Ultra")
has been completed. A total of 8 short holes were completed
totalling 484 metres. The program was designed as a preliminary
orientation program to test the continuity of the lithium and
tantalum rich areas sampled by Orebodies on surface. All holes from
this drilling are currently being logged, cut and sent out for
assay with results to be released when received. Results from this
program will be used to assess the potential of the Tebishogeshik
showing and aid in further work programs on the property.
Tantalum Information
Tantalum is a specialty metal which is highly corrosion
resistant and has the highest ability to hold and release
electricity. These characteristics make it essential for electronic
devices (tantalum capacitors) and specialty applications such as
jet engines. Several events in the global market have caused the
price of tantalum to increase significantly as of late, mainly the
fact that two of the largest producers have shut down (Tanco
deposit in Canada and Talison Tantalum in Australia) which
represents nearly half of the world market. These shutdowns have
led to a global supply that has fallen behind demand and the market
now requires additional production from new projects.
Orebodies Zigzag property is very interesting for the fact that
besides high grade lithium, tantalum could have one of the most
considerable economic benefits as historically there have been a
significant amount of samples collected that demonstrate
widespread, high grade results. Breaks (2003) stated that
individual analysis from the Tebishogeshik Lens 3 exceeded 80 wt %
Ta2O5 and were amongst the highest documented in lithium-rich
pegmatite of Ontario.(i)
(i)(historical in nature and not 43-101 compliant and therefore
should not be relied upon.)
A thorough quality control program is in effect which includes
inserting standards and blanks alternating every 10 samples. All
samples were submitted to ALS and analyzed using four acid
digestion and ICP-MS. For more information on assay methodology
