TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/10/12 -- Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CO) ("the Company") is pleased to announce additional assay results from the summer drill program at the Haig Inlet Iron Project ("Haig Inlet"), located on the Belcher Islands in Nunavut, Canada.

"We are very encouraged by the initial drill results at Kihl Bay, which demonstrated good thickness and grade at shallow depths," said Gordon McKinnon, President & CEO of Canadian Orebodies. "This is an area that was drill tested for the first time ever this past summer, which reinforces management belief that there is great potential to find other areas of mineralization on the Company's vast landholdings."

A map of the holes drilled during the 2012 program is available on Canadian Orebodies' website at: http://www.canadianorebodies.com/i/maps/HaigInlet/2012DrillPlan-Final.pdf.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future (including, without limitation, statements relating to mineral resources, potential mineralization, exploration results and the Company's plans with respect to the exploration and development of the Properties) are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements reflect the current expectations or beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to the Company. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, changes in commodity prices, changes in equity markets, failure to establish mineral resources, changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required regulatory approvals, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other ecological data, and the other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be required by applicable securities laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise.
