Canadian Metals Expands its Langis Silica Deposit 250m Northeast of Previous Drilling

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - July 5, 2017) - Canadian Metals Inc. (The "Company") (CSE:CME)(CSE:CME.CN)(CNSX:CME) is pleased to announce the completion of its diamond drilling program at Langis. A total of 528m has been drilled in 16 holes.

A preliminary highlight is the extension of the sandstone formation 250m northeast of the area already having been drilled. This opens the opportunity for a potential increase of mineral resources. The consultant has established an exploration target of 8 to 12 Million tonnes of sandstone at surface probably usable for various application like Ferrosilicon with similar grades as adjacent analyzed holes in the range of 97.5 to 99.5% SiO2, same geological sedimentary formation where mineral resources have been defined 250m away. This potential has been established by the area and the thicknesses of intersections in the typical sandstone previously intersected in 2013 & 2015 drill program.

The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.

The consultant has also collected over 400 kg of different composites representative samples from the face of the existing quarry for additional testing and also to provide material to clients for their assessment of the raw product.

The drill program is on schedule and results will be provided as soon as received, interpreted and validated for public disclosure by the independent qualified person.

About Canadian Metals

Canadian Metals is focused on the development of its Langis project, a high-purity silica deposit located in the province of Quebec. The Company is rapidly positioning itself as a supplier of high purity silica and silicon alloy in North America. Silicon based materials can be formulated to provide a broad range of products from more durable, faster building materials with smarter electronic devices, solar panels and more efficient wind turbines. We expect to become a global supplier for a number of industries and applications but without limitation: glass, ceramics, lighting, oil and gas, paint, plastic and rubber. We also want to become an integrated supplier to metallurgical industries including foundries, and participate in a wide range of civil, industrial, environmental and related applications. These target markets are an integral part of the lives of millions of people every day.
