CIN Provides an Exploration Update on the Deadhorse Creek Rare Earths Project

Canadian International Minerals Inc. (CIN) is pleased to announce that a road building and stripping program has commenced on itflow chart of stone crushing plant in pdfs Deadhorse Creek ("DHC Property") rare earth element (REE) property.

The DHC Property consists of 75 units (1200 ha) in Walsh Township in the Thunder Bay mining division, is approximately 25 km northwest of Marathon, Ontario, and is traversed by Provincial Highway 17 near its southern boundary and the Deadhorse Creek logging road for most of its length north-south.

Fugro Airborne Surveys completed a high resolution magnetic and radiometric survey of the DHC Property between September 17-20, 2010 . Coverage consisted of 320 line km of traverse lines on 50 meter spacings and 32 km of tie in lines. The survey confirmed known areas of REE mineralization and delineated several new radiometric anomalies as well as structural features that may host or control REE mineralization.

The DHC Property has been intermittently evaluated (Gulf Minerals, Highwood Resources, Unocal Canada), with respect to its Yttrium, beryllium, zirconium and uranium potential since its discovery in 1977. None of this work has led to complete geological delineation of the prospect at depth or along strike, as neither a comprehensive diamond-drilling program nor a regional radiometric survey was previously undertaken.

A non NI 43-101 compliant mineral inventory report on the DHC property was filed by Unocal Canada (Moly Corp.) in 1987 with the Ontario Ministry of Mines; however, this was based only on surface trenching and small drill program. Unocal Canada was focused on yttrium at that time to supply its contracts with TV screen producers. Assaying was limited to yttrium, zirconium, beryllium, uranium and scandium leaving an unknown potential for other REEs.

CIN is focussing on the high grade zirconium/hafnium potential of DHC. A channel sample cut of one meter along an exposed outcrop yielded 9.0% zirconium oxide. (A.W. Knox, Unocal 1987) Recent limited reconnaissance sampling by CIN has yeilded 3.18 % zirconium oxide and 556 ppm hafnium over a one meter chip sample and 2.96% zirconium oxide and 637 ppm hafnium in a grab sample. (G. Arseneau, SRK Consulting Canada, 2009).

The present road building program will consist of approximately 2km in total of 4X4 and excavator access to old trenches with known mineralization as well as to new features identified on the airborne survey. Soil and overburden is in general thin but vegetation and thick moss hinders ready observation of rocks.

Once access is established to areas of interest, they will be stripped for geological mapping and sampling under the supervision of Dr. R. H. Mitchell, D.Sc., Ph.D., FRSC, Consulting Petrologist. Dr Mitchell has studied the mineralogy of DHC extensively and is a world renowned expert in alkaline rocks, which host the mineralization at DHC.
