TORONTO, April 18, 2017 – Canadian Orebodies Inc. (“Orebodies” or the “Company”) (TSX Venture: CORE) is pleased to announce that drilling has now commenced on the Company’s Hemlo North Limb Property (the “Property”).

The current Phase 1 drill program will consist of approximately 2,500 metres of diamond drilling on the Company’s Hemlo North Limb Property, testing a number of geophysical and prospecting driven targets across the Property (for additional details see press release dated March 23, 2017).

“We are excited to get our first drill program underway on our Hemlo North Limb Property and kick off what will be a very busy year for the Company. This is an important drill program to enhance our geological knowledge of the property, but it is just the beginning,” said Gordon McKinnon, President and CEO of Orebodies. “We did not have that much prospecting time last year before the snow came, but in one month we did manage to discover a new gold occurrence (the "Petrant Lake Occurrence"). There is much more to do in terms of additional target generation, as the property is large and covers over 6,800 hectares. We look forward to what can come from a full season of work on the ground.” (for additional information regarding the Petrant Lake Occurrence please see press release dated March 2, 2017)
