Canada Strategic Metals Hits Multiple Mineralized Zones in Ongoing Drilling at the Sakami Gold Project

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 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 new drilling program began a few days ago at the Sakami gold project.

The program is 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. Once this program is complete, Zone 25 will have been tested over a strike length of more than 200 metres and to a depth of over 425 metres along its plunge. The holes are spaced at 50 metres. A map of the new holes and holes still to be drilled can be found on the Company's website at: www.csmetals.ca.

Five diamond drill holes have been completed to date. All the holes intersected Zone 25, with widths ranging from 7.30 to 19.85 metres. The mineralized intersections consist of a silicified biotite paragneiss containing 1-10% pyrite-arsenopyrite.

The Company expects to complete the current drilling program by April 15. The core is now being logged and sampled and will then 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.

The 2013 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.

Jean-Sebastien Lavallée (OGQ #773), geologist, shareholder and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this release.
