Canadian Arrow President, Kim Tyler said, "We are seeing a much larger global mineral resource potential emerging at our Timmins projects. We are exploring multiple opportunities to capitalize on a quick production start-up based on current and projected metal prices. Within the larger resource potential the Company has been examining several options targeting smaller, high grade batch extraction at minimal cost to initiate a quick capital turnaround and early cash-flow. Economics so far indicate resuming open pit extraction as the most profitable method. Besides confirming extensions of the past producing mineralized zones we are also encouraged by the opportunities for additional new zones to explore and expand on the resource potential of the property"

The ongoing accumulation and analysis of data has required additional time for an independent NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate to be completed. Although work is in progress, a current economic analysis has not been completed and there is no certainty at this time that any of the proposed operations will be economically viable.

Drill results reported in this release are summarized from previous press releases and an NI 43-101 Technical Report, Feb. 2, 2004 all filed on Sedar. A complete list of significant results from previous reports are listed on the Company's website at www.canadianarrowmines.ca

Mineralized diamond drill hole intervals reported are down hole core lengths only. Assay intervals identified in the drill core were sawn in half, with one-half sent to Services de Geochimique SGS at its facilities in Rouyn-Noranda Quebec for analytical and assay work. Platinum, palladium and gold were determined by fire assay-ICP-ES methods and Ni, Cu, Co by sodium peroxide fusion-ICP-ES. The other half of the drill core is stored for future reference and testing.
