DEADHORSE CREEK RARE EARTH PROJECT EXPLORATION UPDATE

Trading Symbol CIN-TSX.V

VANCOUVER, Nov. 4 /CNW/ - Canadian International Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "CIN") is pleased to announce that a road building and stripping program has commenced on its 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.

Fugro Airborne Surveys completed a high resolution magnetic and radiometric survey between September 17-20 on the DHC property. 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 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 had been delineated only by 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 returned 9.0% zirconium oxide. (A.W. Knox, Unocal 1987) Limited reconnaissance sampling by CIN has returned 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 2 km in total of 4X4 and excavator access to old trenches of known mineralization as well as 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 of which host the mineralization at DHC.
