Canadian Metals Announces Intention to Consolidate its Shares

MONTRÉAL, July 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian Metals Inc. ("CME" or the "Company") (CSE: CME) announces its intention to seek the necessary approvals to consolidate its common shares.

The benefit of the planned consolidation is to reduce further dilution at current price when future financing is required to advance the large Iron deposits optioned recently (see press release dated July 8th, 2019). The Company's recent acquisition of three large Iron deposits located on the North shore of Quebec is a major step forward. The Company is positioning itself as a leader in developing high quality Iron deposits containing a conceptual resource of more than 2.4 Bt of Iron (Fe) at approximately 30%.

The Company has called a special meeting of common shareholders (the "Meeting") for Wednesday, September 4th, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).  CME shareholders will be asked to consider and approve a share consolidation (the "Consolidation") on the basis of one new common share of the Company (each, a "New Share") for up to every ten existing common shares of the Company (each, an "Existing Share").

For example, the current number of shares of the Company that has been issued and outstanding will be reduced from 132,291,193 existing shares as of the date hereof down to approximately 13,229,119 New shares based on a 10:1 consolidation. Existing Stock options, warrants and the current debentures will also be reduced by up 10 times as well.

Approval of the special resolution by shareholders would give the board of directors' authority to implement the consolidation of the common shares at its discretion, including at a lower ratio than one for 10. In addition, notwithstanding approval of the special resolution by shareholders, the board of directors may revoke it and abandon the consolidation without any prior notice to shareholders or any approval by them.

The board of directors is of the opinion that the consolidation will provide the corporation with greater flexibility as it could lead to increased interest by a wider audience of potential investors and could better position the corporation to obtain financing and pursue future opportunities.

The procedure for implementing the Consolidation and the full text resolution approving the Consolidation will be available in the Company's management information circular (the "Circular") that will be mailed to shareholders and available under the Company's profile on SEDAR.  The Consolidation remains subject to shareholder approval and acceptance by the Canadian Securities Exchange.
