Canadian Metals Receives Langis Certificate of Authorization From the MDDELCC

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Dec. 5, 2017) - Canadian Metals Inc. (The "Company") (CSE:CME)(CSE:CME.CN)(CNSX:CME) is pleased to announce that it has received the Certificate of Authorization (CA) for the Langis Silica Project from the Québec Ministère du Développement Durable, de l'Environnement et de la lutte contre les changements climatiques ("MDDELCC"). The Certificate of Authorization represents the principal regulatory approval required to start the operation of the Langis quarry, and has been issued by the Québec regulators.

Hubert Vallée said, "The CA for the operation of the Langis quarry is an important milestone for the development of our Silicon Alloys project, we would consider to sign offtake contract with customer for the Quartz of Langis and potentially operate the quarry next spring. I must say thanks to our consultant expert WSP (Eric Lucas) and Golminds Geoservices (Claude Duplessis) for their precious help to get our CA. This demonstrates again the strongest of the development team of Canadian Metals who put together the best team to achieve this milestone."

Stephane Leblanc, Canadian Metals Chief Investment officer commented: "Today's news represents the most significant milestone in the development of the Langis Project achieved to date. The MDDELCC Certificate of Authorization is the one very most important element of the permitting process in Québec. As of today we are able to say that the principal regulatory hurdle for the Langis Project is behind us."

The Company is not basing its production decision on a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability. Decision to apply for a BEX and CA is not based on Prefeasibility or Feasibility and as such uncertainty on economic parameters and technical risks of failure associated with its production decision exist.
