Canadian Metals Inc. (the "Corporation") (CSE:CME) is pleased to announce that
it has retained the services of Electrochem Technologies & Materials Inc. to
conduct a series of tests aimed at demonstrating the technical and economic
feasibility of converting silica sand from the Langis deposit into various high
value-added products for industrial applications.


The CTMP laboratory previously conducted grade improvement tests consisting of
enrichment by physical means such as: (1) washing followed by desliming to
remove fines and clays, (2) mechanical attrition to remove fines clay particles
adhered to the surface of quartz grain and (3) wet high-intensity magnetic
separation (WHIMS) of the grains. These tests succeeded in improving purity, but
failed to achieve the specifications required to manufacture silica sand for the
production of high added-value products required in certain industrial
applications.


The Corporation is therefore turning to the know-how and industrial expertise of
Electrochem Technologies & Materials to help meet these criteria, by defining:




--  All possible ways of obtaining a silica sand or purified lump quartz
    required for the proposed industrial application 
--  Relatively simple operating procedures that use readily-available
    commercial reagents and have a lower operating cost (OPEX) 
--  A process that has a lower capital investment (CAPEX) and is therefore
    easy to set up 
--  A proposed method that is safe from an H&SE perspective and not
    environmentally restrictive, while minimizing the volume of waste. 



Canadian Metals wishes to determine the best process for its silica sand
quickly, and therefore aims to obtain evidence through a series of laboratory
tests to be performed by Electrochem on samples from a multi-kilogram batch of
concentrate obtained by enrichment during a previous program conducted at the
CTMP laboratory.


In line with the above, Electrochem Technologies & Materials will therefore
start an initial phase of work (Phase 1) aimed at demonstrating the
applicability of a technology and its technical and economic feasibility.

About Canadian Metals 

Canadian Metals Inc. is focused exclusively on the exploration and development
of high-purity Silica properties in Canada. The Company is rapidly positioning
itself as North America's premier pure-play silica company through the
exploration and development of its portfolio of Silica assets in Quebec and
British Columbia. Silicon-based materials can be formulated to deliver a wide
range of products from more durable construction materials; faster, smarter
electronic devices and more efficient solar panels and wind turbines.We expect
to become a global supplier for a number of industries and applications, namely
but without limitation, glass, ceramics, lighting, oil and gas, paint, plastic
and rubber. We also wish to become an integrated supplier for metallurgical
industries and foundries, and to participate in a wide range of civil,
industrial, environmental and related building applications. These target
markets for Canadian Metals affect the lives of millions of people every day.
Canadian Metals is also looking for new projects to add to its portfolio.
