Canadian Orebodies Commences Drilling Program on the Belcher Islands

June 13, 2012

TORONTO, June 13, 2012 -- Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSXV: CO) ("Canadian Orebodies" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company's 2012 exploration program has commenced on the Belcher Islands, Nunavut. Drilling has started on the Kihl Bay Anticline target area, which is located to the northeast of Haig Inlet and is comprised of relatively closely spaced north-plunging anticlines and synclines. The Company believes the anticlines may elevate the Kipalu Iron Formation close to surface, thereby giving potential for low strip ratio and open pitable iron mineralization.

The Kihl Bay Anticline is one of three high priority targets to be tested during this summer's exploration program. The company plans to conduct the exploration drilling this season in two phases: wide-spread exploration holes on the Kihl Bay Anticline, Haig West, and the Haig North Extension, followed by infill drilling on the areas which would be most amenable to developing an open-pit mineral resource.

"We are excited to get a head start on this summer's season by flying our first drill into the Belcher Islands in order to capitalize on favourable weather conditions in June, which should allow for better production. Our second drill rig is scheduled to be brought in by barge in mid-July once ice conditions allow." said Gordon McKinnon, President and CEO of Canadian Orebodies. "The Kihl Bay Anticline is the first area selected for drilling of the three very large and highly prospective targets that have never previously been drill tested. We are eager to prove management's belief that the wide spread iron formations on the Belcher Islands have the potential to host significant additional tonnage outside of what the Company has already proven at Haig Inlet."
