Canada Strategic Metals Once Again Intersects a Wide Gold-Bearing Zone with 3.78 g/t Gold Over 27.95 Metres, Including 7.21 g/t Au Over 7.00 Metres at the Sakami Gold Project
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 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 pleased to announce results from two more drill holes from the recent drilling campaign on the Sakami gold project. These new results confirm the intersection of a wide gold-bearing zone at Sakami. Nine holes were drilled during the program, for a total of 1,605 metres.
The objective of the campaign was to validate and extend the historical zone identified by Matamec Explorations between 2000 and 2004 and acquire a better understanding of the spatial geometry of the two main zones in the La Pointe area. A table with the drill holes collar locations is present below.
The Company has received gold assay results for two mores holes, PT-13-66 and PT-13-67, drilled to test and extend the intersection obtained in historical hole EX-22 and recent hole PT-13-65. Holes PT-13-66 and PT-13-67 intersected a mineralized zone that returned 1.18 g/t Au over 15.45 metres from Hole PT-13-66 and 3.78 g/t Au over 27.95 metres, including 4.01 g/t over 22.60 metres and 7.21 g/t Au over 7.00 metres, from Hole PT-13-67. The mineralized intersections and gold assay results from the recent program are shown below, along with the historical drill results.
"The Company is very pleased that all the recent drill results from its last exploration program confirm the quality and potential of the Sakami project," said Jean-Sebastien Lavallée, President and Chief Executive Officer of Canada Strategic Metals. "We are looking forward to receiving the results for the five other holes drilled during the program."
The Company will release the results for the remaining holes as soon as they have been received and compiled.

The 2013 drilling program was managed by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d'Or, Quebec, who 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 sampling and analysis of the core samples. 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.
