VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/26/13 -- Canada Strategic Metals Inc. ("Canada Strategic Metals" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE: CJC)(FRANKFURT: YXEN)(OTCBB: CJCFF) is pleased to announce that metallurgical characterization testing based on a composite of several graphite samples from the La Loutre Property has reported a large percentage of medium to Jumbo size graphite flakes. This characterization testing provides a clear indication of the size distribution and liberation of the graphite at La Loutre, which would have a direct effect on the recovery and purity of a graphite concentrate. The Company has submitted three (3) composites, representing three (3) different geological units present on the property to Global Mineral Research Ltd (GMR Ltd) for this evaluation. This first result from composite number 2 has been prepared with the grab samples obtained during the summer exploration program on the property (see news release dated July 24, 2012) which confirmed the presence of a large graphite bearing structure covering an area of approximately 7 kilometers by 1 kilometer with results of up to 22.04% Graphite in multiple parallel zones of 30-50 meters wide. Another area has also been identified covering approximately 2 kilometers by 1 kilometer in multiple parallel zones of 20-50 meters wide, which includes results of up to 18% Graphite. The Company is still awaiting characterization results for composites # 1 and # 3. See table below for the composite samples sent to the laboratory and full table of size characterization for composite #2 received to date:
