Canada Strategic Metals Complete 11 Drillholes Program at the Sakami Gold Project and Hit Mineralized Zone in Every Hole
  
 

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2014) - Canada Strategic Metals Inc. ("Canada Strategic Metals" or "the Company") (TSX-VENTURE:CJC)(FRANKFURT:YXEN)(OTCBB:CJCFF) and Matamec Explorations Inc. (TSX-VENTURE:MAT)(OTCQX:MHREF) are very pleased to announce that a drilling program began in March at the Sakami gold project is completed.

The program was aimed at increasing the size of the main gold zone (Zone 25) to the west-northwest, as well as its extension at depth. Zone 25 is in the La Pointe sector of the Sakami property. Now that the program is complete, Zone 25 has been tested over a strike length of more than 200 metres and to depth of over 450 metres along its plunge. To date, the zone 25 has been test to a vertical depth of 250 metres. The holes are spaced at 50 metres. A map of the new holes can be found on the Company's website at: www.csmetals.ca.

Eleven diamond drill holes have been completed during the campaign. All the holes intersected Zone 25, with widths ranging from 7.30 to 22.95 metres. The mineralized intersections consist of a silicified biotite paragneiss containing 1-7% with locally up to 10% pyrite-arsenopyrite.

All the core have been logged and sampled and have been be sent to the laboratory for assaying. The Company will release the assay results as soon as they are received and compiled. A table of all the mineralized intersections from the recent program is shown below, along with previous drill results.

* Core length; the Company estimates the true width of the mineralized zone at 80 to 95% of the core length.

The 2014 drilling program was managed by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d'Or, Quebec, which designed the drilling campaign, supervised the program and logged and sampled the core.

Consul-Teck Exploration implemented QA/QC procedures to ensure best practices in core sampling and analysis. The drill core was logged and then split, with one-half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates, standards and blanks were inserted regularly into the sample stream.

The samples in secure tagged bags were delivered directly to the analytical facility for analysis. In this case, the analytical facility was the Bourlamaque Ltee laboratory in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. All samples are analyzed by fire assay with AA finish on a 30g sample (0.01-10 ppm Au), with a gravimetric finish for assays over 10 ppm Au.
