Curlew Lake Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CWQ)(PINK SHEETS:CWLXF)
announces it has acquired Metallic & Industrial Minerals rights on 24 Townships,
an area of approximately 552,000 acres (223,000 hectares), of land on the Peace
River Arch geological formation in north western Alberta. The lands will be
operated as a joint venture, with Curlew holding a 50 percent interest in the
joint venture with 2 private partners, and Curlew will be the initial operator
of the exploration project. The lands lie north and west of the Clear Hills area
and cover a structure known as Halverson Ridge and surrounding areas.


In order to promote exploration for and mining of non-energy minerals in
Alberta, the Alberta Government is putting increased effort into basic
geological information in support of the minerals industry. Since the 1960s
Alberta Research Council, University of Alberta, Alberta Geological Survey and
Alberta Energy have carried out studies in the Clear Hills area, including
drilling programs. A patented process for processing the widespread iron ore
located was developed by the Alberta Research Council in the 70s because of a
strong demand for iron world-wide.


Subsequently, the Geological Survey of Canada and Alberta Geological Survey
reconnaissance study of map area 84D, Special Report 071, on an area north of
the Clear Hills iron ore deposit indicates anomalous gold values in a number of
water sheds, with many values in excess of 1,000 ppb gold.


The Clear Hills area of Alberta has been a target for metallic and industrial
minerals exploration for decades with renewed interest in recent years. Good
progress has been made by two private exploration companies in establishing that
the Clear Hills iron ore deposit is a world-class deposit and that significant
values in vanadium and gold can be extracted from the iron ores. Recent
recognition of vanadium as a battery improving metal and current prices for iron
and gold has made the area extremely interesting geologically.


The Clear Hills Worsley, Whitemud River and Rambling Creek deposits are the
subject of an ongoing development program to increase and establish reserves to
National Instrument 43-101 reporting standards. The indicated 1.2 billion tons
of iron ore reported as recent as 10 years ago are now being re-established to
comply with today's regulatory requirements. We are advised plans are in place
to construct a mini-mine and pilot demonstration plant in 2011.


Curlew Lake Resources Inc. has reviewed the public data on the iron ore
deposits, which are associated with the Bad Heart formation, and the
classification of the iron ore deposits as iron laden sedimentary deposits
associated with deep faulting, hydrothermal deposition or fumarolic venting. We
are of the opinion that the indicated billions of tons of iron ore may not come
from just one source. The Bad Heart formation has been mapped and correlated
with oil and gas exploration holes throughout the Halverson Ridge and Hotchkiss
gasfield area covered by our mineral rights, suggesting the area has many
similarities to the Clear Hills area. Although bog iron and Bad Heart sandstones
are mapped in the area, the source of the iron, vanadium and the anomalous gold
values remain unknown and will be the subject of our future exploration
programs. The company and its partners will continue to assemble and review the
excellent and extensive public data base, to be followed by on site confirmation
of the indicated mineralization showing potential values in iron, vanadium, gold
and other minerals.


Curlew Lake is also continuing with its oil and gas exploration activities, and
will be drilling another potential oil well in central Alberta in the near
future.
