Highlights Niobium Potential of Wicheeda Alkaline-Carbonatite Complex, British Columbia(via TheNewswire)\n\n \nJanuary 26, 2017 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, British Columbia - Canadian International Minerals Inc. (the \"Company\") (TSX-V: CIN; FRANKFURT: 25C1) is pleased to provide an update on the Company's 100% owned Wicheeda Alkaline-Carbonatite project (the \"Project\"), located approximately 80 kilometers northeast of Prince George, B.C., in the heart of the Rocky Mountain Rare Metal Belt.\n\n \n \nIn 2011, the Company completed an 11 hole helicopter-supported diamond drill program on the Project. This program was designed to follow up on the 2010 drill program, which intercepted significant rare earth mineralization in all 9 holes, the most notable intercept being 37.3 meters of 1.43% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides) encountered in hole CA-10-006.\n\n \n \nWhile the 2010 drill program was focused on the northwest portion of the claim block, in the vicinity of the Wicheeda Rare Earth deposit owned by Spectrum Mining Corp. (a private company), the 2011 drill program targeted a number of geophysical and geochemical targets approximately 1.8 km to 4.3 km to the southeast of the 2010 drilling. \n\n \n \nThe 2011 drilling campaign encountered rare earth mineralization in the majority of holes with most falling in the range of 0.2% - 0.5% TREO. The drill program confirmed that the alkaline intrusive body is mineralized in rare earths and rare metals over a 4.7 km strike length.\n\n \n \nA preliminary reevaluation has affirmed that the project has significant Niobium potential which was not considered material at the time. The Company wishes to report the following Niobium assays from the 2011 drill program:\n\n \n \n2011 Wicheeda Drilling\n\n\n \n\nHole \n\n\n\n\nFrom (m)\n\n\n\n\nTo (m)\n\n\n\n\nInterval (m)\n\n\n\n\nNb2O5 (%)\n\n\n\n\nCA-11-010\nIncluding\nAnd\n\n\n\n\n171.80\n171.80\n171.80\n\n\n\n\n187.86\n178.53\n172.78\n\n\n\n\n16.06\n6.73\n0.98\n\n\n\n\n0.188\n0.270\n0.731\n\n\n\n\nCA-11-010\n\n\n\n\n182.93\n\n\n\n\n187.86\n\n\n\n\n4.93\n\n\n\n\n0.214\n\n\n\n\nCA-11-011\n\n\n\n\n133.75\n\n\n\n\n136.85\n\n\n\n\n3.1\n\n\n\n\n0.179\n\n\n\n\nCA-11-011\nIncluding\n\n\n\n\n184.80\n188.89\n\n\n\n\n190.5\n190.5\n\n\n\n\n5.70\n1.61\n\n\n\n\n0.215\n0.507\n\n\n\n\nCA-11-013\n\n\n\n\n57.31\n\n\n\n\n61....
