MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 17, 2014) - Canada Strategic Metals Inc. ("Strategic Metals" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CJC)(FRANKFURT:YXEN)(OTCBB:CJCFF) and Lomiko Metals Inc. ("Lomiko") (TSX VENTURE:LMR)(OTC PINK:LMRMF)(FRANKFURT:DH8B) are very pleased to announce the results for five more holes of the recent drilling campaign on the La Loutre Graphite project. The La Loutre property consists of contiguous claim blocks totalling approximately 2,500 hectares (25 km2) situated approximately 53 km east of Imerys Carbon and Graphite, formerly known as the Timcal Graphite Mine, North America's only operating graphite mine, and 117 km northwest of Montreal.
The goal of the exploration program was to identify high-grade, near-surface graphite mineralization to rapidly build a resource at La Loutre project. A total of twenty-five holes, for a total of 3,137 metres, were drilled to test a surface graphite showing and assess the potential extension of the graphite mineralization.
The Company has received the graphite assay results for five more holes, LL-14-11 to LL-14-15. All five returned wide graphite intersections with: 3.19% Gp over 32.00 metres including 12.38% over 2.50 metres, 3.04% Gp over 5.20 metres and 1.38% over 3.30 metres from Hole LL-14-11; 3.00% Gp over 33.00 metres including 13.18% Gp over 2.00 metres from Hole LL-14-12; 2.74% Gp over 55.60 metres, including 9.60% Gp over 4.30 metres from Hole LL-14-13; 4.98% Gp over 44.80 metres including 9.02% Gp over 14.70 metres, 13.60% Gp over 3.20 metres and 10.20% Gp over 8.00 metres from Hole LL-14-14 and 4.40% Gp over 53.25 metres including 7.46% Gp over 15.35 metres from Hole LL-14-15. The mineralized intersections and assay results are shown in the table below.
"The Company is very pleased that all the recent drill results from its last exploration program confirm the quality and potential of the La Loutre project," said Jean-Sebastien Lavallée, Chief Executive Officer of Canada Strategic Metals. "We are looking forward to receiving the results for the fifteen other holes of the program."
The Company will release the results for the remaining holes as soon as they have been received and compiled.

The November 2014 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 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 ALS minerals in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. The samples are crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, then separated and pulverized to 85% passing 75um. All samples are analyzed for Carbon Graphite using C-IR18.
