VANCOUVER, Dec. 2, 2015 /CNW/ - Canadian Mining Company Inc. (the "Company") (TSX.V:CNG) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a Mining Operations Agreement and Purchase Option (the "Agreement") with Absorbent Products Ltd. ("APL").
The Agreement with APL represents a major development and significant milestone for Canadian Mining's zeolite business and is a true win for both companies. APL will mine, transport, process, package and ship Canadian Mining's zeolite to a list of waiting customers.

The Agreement teams Canadian Mining with a company that has full mining and processing capacity. APL has the experience, ability and equipment in place to move production forward while the Company will work with its dedicated team in continuing to test, certify and qualify its zeolite for expanding green zeolite markets. "We look forward to working with a quality, well-established company such as APL" said Company CEO, Ray Paquette.
