The Board of Continental Nickel Limited (TSX VENTURE:CNI) ("CNI" or the
"Company") is pleased to provide the following update with respect to Board
composition. 


Mr. Tony Haggarty has been appointed as a non executive director replacing Mr.

extensive career in the mining and resource sector spanning over thirty years in
the development, operation and financing of mining companies.

he worked for BP Coal and BP Finance in Sydney and London, and for Agipcoal as

appointment of Mr. Haggarty as a Director. Tony will bring a wealth of
experience in the development, management and financing of resource projects to
the CNI Board. His experience complements the accomplished nickel exploration
team with a discovery track record and the technical studies team that together
will enable us to define the extent of the resource at Sleeping Giant, continue
exploration of the Nachingwea land package and progress with the evaluation of
the economic viability of the already delineated Resources in Tanzania. At the
same time we wish to acknowledge and thank Mr. Yuangang Song for the
contributions he has made. Mr. Song, a major shareholder, Board member, Joint
Venture partner and customer of IMX, has brought a clear business focus to the
Company's strategy while on the CNI Board."
