Kimberlite Indicator Minerals Recovered from Pikoo East Properties

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2015 / Canadian International Minerals Inc. (“CIN”, the “Company”) (TSXV: CIN) is pleased to announce that Kimberlite Indicator Minerals (“KIM”), including a G9 garnet, have been recovered from the Pikoo East properties (the “Properties”), located in the heart of the Pikoo Diamond Camp in east-central Saskatchewan. 

The Properties are under option to North Arrow Minerals Inc. (“North Arrow”) (TSXV: NAR) and Stornoway Diamond Corp. (“Stornoway”) (TSX: SWY), who may earn a combined 70% interest by funding exploration to a kimberlite discovery (including drilling) on any of the Properties within a 3 year period. North Arrow and Stornoway are conducting the work through their pre-existing joint venture on the Pikoo diamond project, and are funding the work in proportion to their respective interests in said project.

2014 Exploration and Results

North Arrow and Stornoway conducted a limited reconnaissance-type till sampling program on the Properties in the fall of 2014. 11 till samples were collected and submitted to Microlithics Laboratories Inc. of Thunder Bay, Ontario for kimberlite indicator mineral processing. Details on the processing method can be found at www.microlithics.com/kim-laboratory/

One sample on the southern part of Pikoo Extension A returned a pyrope garnet with chemistry fitting the G9 garnet classification. This same sample also returned a picroilmenite, another strong kimberlite indicator mineral.

The Company considers the results to be very encouraging given the limited scope of the fall 2014 sampling program. These results, along with recent KIM sampling results reported by Strike Diamond Corp. (TSXV: SRK) and Alto Ventures Ltd. (TSXV: ATV), confirm the prospectivity of the area to the east and northeast of the Pikoo project. Additional KIM sampling is planned for 2015.

Pikoo East Properties

The Pikoo East properties are comprised of 5 claims totalling 3,447 hectares. The A group directly adjoins North Arrow / Stornoway’s Pikoo property, and the B group lies approximately 7 km northeast of Pikoo’s northern boundary. A map of the properties can be found on the Company’s website at
