Canadian Metals Announces Agreement With MINTEK

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Feb. 17, 2015) - Canadian Metals Inc. (The "Corporation") (CSE:CME) is pleased to announce it signed an agreement with MINTEK for performing the prototype testing of the production of ferrosilicon from Langis silica sand.

The test work will be conducted in two consecutive phases. The aim of PHASE 1 is to demonstrate the proof-of-concept and the technical feasibility of producing ferrosilicon from the quartzite, to evaluate the quality of ferrosilicon which can be produced and to provide indicative operational and metallurgical data which can be used for scale-up to a semi-commercial scale. During PHASE 2, the previous results and performances will be used, in part, to conduct a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) study on a commercial facility. The study will include a generalized flow sheet of the commercial plant, overall mass and energy balances, and capital and operating costs estimates of within 25-30% accuracy based on MINTEK's strong expertise in ferroalloys production, and input from the CANADIAN METALS' team especially for addressing prevailing Canadian markets conditions.
