About Canadian Metals 

Canadian Metals aims to become a worldwide producer of non-metallic industrial
minerals. Our main ore property contains high purity silica sand. Silica is one
of the fundamental elements of virtually all industrial manufacturing processes.
For example, high purity silica is the starting point for semi-conductors and
photovoltaic solar cell production in the world.


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.
