Canadian Metals Inc. (the "Corporation") (CSE:CME) is pleased to announce that
it has signed an agreement with Zimtu Capital Corp. (TSX
VENTURE:ZC)(FRANKFURT:ZCT1) to acquire a 100%-interest in the Longworth and
Kinney High Purity Silica Properties located in British Columbia, Canada.


Stephane Leblanc, President and CEO, remarked, "We are delighted to have secured
these two properties and bolster our position in what many believe to be a
promising growth resource sector." 


Longworth Property

The Longworth Property, consisting of 17 claims totalling 1,160 hectares, covers
a band of quartzite on Bearpaw Ridge, on the east side of the Fraser River,
about 85 km east of Prince George, British Columbia.


A sequence of clastic sediments, limestone and volcanics equivalent to the Lower
Silurian Nonda Formation, outcrop along the ridge. The quartzite is comprised of
one main unit, up to 400 m thick, and three thinner units, all of which are
characterized as massive, fine-grained, equigranular quartzite with silica
values mainly in excess of 99.5% (Quartermain 1986).


The property is accessible by logging roads and is less than 4 km from the
Canadian National Railroad mainline and power lines suitable for a quarry type
mining operation. The current property covers recently lapsed claims that were
held by Silver Standard Resources Inc. ("Silver Standard") since 1977. Silver
Standard had completed detailed metallurgical work on the contained silica
mineralization which yielded positive characteristics for a feed source for
silicon metal smelting (Quartermain 1986). Silver Standard was incorporated in
1948 as a B.C. focused multi commodity mining company and has been recently
letting its portfolio of legacy properties to expire in the current market
environment to focus on their South American projects.


Kinney Property

The Kinney Property consists of two individual, continuous claims totaling 518
hectares located approximately 70 km's south-east of Mackenzie, British
Columbia, adjacent to Mt. Kinney. The majority of the visible outcrop on the
property was held by Silver Standard historically and was host to a drilling
program by the company in July 1975. It is known that Silver Standard
encountered quartzite at 12'-298 feet and quartzite and dolomite from 298-358
feet. In 1975, Silver Standard was engaged in a joint venture on the project
with Hanna Mining Ltd. whom produced crude historic economic studies for the
project.


Canadian Metals Inc. will be compiling all of the available historic exploration
information available for the Longworth and Kinney Properties in anticipation of
initial surface exploration program in the Spring/Summer of this year.


High Purity Silica 

High purity silica is prized by the silicon industry who use it in the
production of silicon metal. Silicon-based materials, including silicones, 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. They also used in healthcare and cosmetic products.


High purity silica can be used to make silicon and ferrosilicon. Silicon is used
in the manufacturing of aluminum alloys, where iron, calcium and phosphorus are
critical elements; silicones and silanes, where calcium and aluminum are
critical elements; and semiconductor silicon (polysilicon) which remains the
fastest-growing segment of the metallurgical silicon market. 


Terms 

Canadian Metals Inc. has the option to earn a 100%-interest in the Longworth and
Kinney Properties from Zimtu Capital Corp. (the "Optionor") by making the
following payments and issuing the following common shares to the Optionor: (i)
$50,000 and 1,000,000 common shares within five business days following, and
subject to, the closing of a private placement of CME common shares as described
hereafter (the "Financing Closing"); (ii) 1,000,000 common shares on that day
which is 12 months from the date of the Financing Closing and; (iii) 1,000,000
common shares 24 months from the date of the Financing Closing. The Optionor
will retain a 2% Royalty on the Property. Upon commencement of Commercial
Production, Canadian Metals will also pay the underlying vendor whom sold a
portion of the claims to Zimtu $250,000 cash and 100,000 common shares. 


The private placement will be for minimum gross proceeds of (i) $500,000 through
the sale of units (hard dollars) ("Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit. Each
Unit will consist of one common share and one full common share purchase warrant
("Warrant") and each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common
share of CME at a price of $0.25 per common share for a period of 18 months
following the closing date and (ii) $500,000 through the sale of flow-through
common shares of CME ("FT Share") at a price of $0.175 per FT Share. 


The agreement remains subject to acceptance by the CSE. A finder's fee will be
payable with respect to the transaction pursuant to the policies of the CSE.
