Canadian Orebodies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CO) ("Orebodies") is pleased to announce
drilling will commence immediately on the Tebishogeshik showing on its Zigzag
Lithium/Rare Metals property (the "Property") under option from Ultra Lithium
Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ULI) ("Ultra"). The Property is subject to an Option Agreement
with Ultra and the underlying property owners to acquire an 80% legal and
beneficial interest (subject to a 2% NSR retained by the Owners, 50% of which
can be purchased by Orebodies for $1,000,000).


Orebodies initial drilling will consist of approximately 7 short holes designed
to test at depth the lithium and tantalum rich areas previously sampled on
surface by Orebodies. Results from this program will be used to assess the
potential of the Tebishogeshik showing and if favourable aid in further drilling
on the property.


Drilling Completed On Falcon Property

Orebodies is also pleased to announce that the drilling program previously
announced on December 22, 2010 on Orebodies 100% owned Falcon property has been
completed. Orebodies initial drilling program on the Falcon property consisted
of 3 short holes totalling 265 meters, which was designed to test at depth the
lithium rich zones successfully outlined on surface by Orebodies. The core is
currently being logged, cut and prepped to be sent to the lab for assay, with
results to be announced once received. Results from this program will be used to
assess the potential of the Falcon property and if favourable aid in further
drilling on the property.


Zigzag Property Overview

The Property in total consists of 129 claim units comprising 2,064 hectares,
located approximately 60 km northeast of Armstrong, Ontario. The property is
host to 5 historical lithium and rare metal showings of consequence.


Highlights from work completed to date on the Zigzag property Tebishogeshik
showing include individual grab samples which assayed up to 4.09% Li 2 O, 501
ppm Ta2O 5 , Rb 2,280 ppm, Be 408 ppm (for full results please see Orebodies
Press Releases dated December 13, 2010).


(Grab samples are selective by nature and are unlikely to represent future
average grades on the property.)


Historical highly anomalous tantalum and cesium values are notably widespread on
the property and indicate a high potential for zoned, complex-type pegmatites
enriched in tantalum and cesium. Complex-type pegmatites are excellent targets
for economic deposits of lithium, tantalum, cesium and rubidium such as the
Tanco pegmatite in Manitoba.


Tantalum Information

Tantalum is a specialty metal which is highly corrosion resistant and has the
highest ability to hold and release electricity. These characteristics make it
essential for electronic devices (tantalum capacitors) and specialty
applications such as jet engines. Several events in the global market have
caused the price of tantalum to increase significantly as of late, mainly the
fact that two of the largest producers have shut down (Tanco deposit in Canada
and Talison Tantalum in Australia) which represents nearly half of the world
market. These shutdowns have led to a global supply that has fallen behind
demand and the market now requires additional production from new projects.


Orebodies Zigzag property is very interesting for the fact that besides high
grade lithium, tantalum could have one of the most considerable economic
benefits as historically there have been a significant amount of samples
collected that demonstrate widespread, high grade results. Breaks (2003) stated
that individual analysis from the Tebishogeshik Lens 3 exceeded 80 wt % Ta2O5
and were amongst the highest documented in lithium-rich pegmatite of Ontario.(i)

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

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. Although the Company believes that the assumptions
inherent in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly undue
reliance should not be put on such statements due to the inherent uncertainty
therein.
