Canadian Metals Provides Bi-Weekly Update on Status of MCTO

MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Aug. 31, 2016) - Canadian Metals Inc. (The "Corporation") (CSE:CME) announces that further to its application for a Management Cease Trade Order ("MCTO"), which was granted on July 29, 2016, the Corporation has been required to provide bi-weekly status reports in accordance with National Policy 12-203, until such time as the Corporation files its amended technical report (the "Amended Report").

The Corporation reports that, since its most recent press release, there has not been any failure, by the Corporation to fulfill its intentions with respect to satisfying the provisions of the alternative information guidelines, and there have been no additional defaults subsequent to such announcement. Further, other than the information provided below, there has been no additional material information concerning the Corporation and its affairs since its most recent press release that has not been disclosed.

The Amended Report will include a re-scoping the PEA for a Hybrid Flex plant base case 100% ferrosilicon rather than a base case 100% silicon metal. It is expected that this will impact the values attributed to the project announced previously. Therefore, until the filing of an Amended Report, the press release dated April 28, 2016 and the technical report filed June 22, 2016 should not be relied upon.

Canadian Metals is pleased to announce the award of the Langis Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) revision and Amended Report preparation to CIMA+.

The strategy for the work plan was developed around existing resource model for Hybrid Flex with Base Case 100% Ferro Silicon. Canadian Metals will consider to evaluate the Hybrid Flex with Base Case 100% Silicon Metal option during the feasibility stage.

• Compliance with the requirements from the Autorité Des Marchés Financiers (AMF)

CIMA+ has the right expertise and experience to successfully perform the work, having proven record in similar projects before. We are confident CIMA+ will perform the whole mandate within what is a very tight schedule to complete the revision so that we file the report on time. The work has already been initiated and we have already made some very good progress and we are on the right track."

Canadian Metals looks forward to the partnership with CIMA+ and for the successful completion of the Langis PEA revision, which will open the doors for continuing to the next stage of the Project Development – a feasibility study.
