CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL MINERALS INC. APPOINTS DR. JOHN BURBA & MARC PRIVITERA TO TECHNICAL ADVISORY BOARD

Canadian International Minerals Inc. has appointed Dr. John Burba and Marc Privitera to the technical advisory board.

Dr. Burba is a physical chemist and a world-renowned pioneer in lithium and other mineral extraction technologies. Dr. Burba's 35-year career includes lengthy periods at Dow Chemical Co., FMC Corp. and Great Lakes Chemical Corp. (now Chemtura Corp.), where he worked on a number of lithium brine projects in North and South America.

Most recently, Dr. Burba served as chief executive officer of Simbol Materials, a company focused on the recovery of lithium from geothermal brines in Southern California. Under his leadership, Simbol successfully developed a proprietary process capable of producing low-cost, high-purity lithium products from brines that were previously believed to be too high in contaminants to be economically processed. Dr. Burba also recently served as chief technology officer and executive vice-president of Molycorp Inc., where he was instrumental in identifying and developing numerous rare earths technologies as part of the project Phoenix redevelopment of the Mountain Pass facilities.

Mr. Privitera is a chemical engineer with over 30 years of experience in chemical process design and engineering. He is a proven leader with a long record of success in developing technologies and advancing projects for both large corporations and venture capital financed start-ups. One of his trademarks is the ability to take complex technical systems and refine them into simple investment propositions using straightforward financial and technical feasibility analysis.

Mr. Privitera is the principal engineer and co-founder of PreProcess Inc., a California-based process development, engineering and automation firm. Recent achievements within the lithium space include the development, engineering and pilot operations for a $400-million lithium hydroxide plant for Simbol Materials, and consulting for various spodumene projects around the world.

Prior to founding PreProcess, Mr. Privitera enjoyed a 19-year career with the Clorox Company, serving as a research fellow and leading their process development group. As an innovator and inventor, Mr. Privitera holds a number of U.S. patents and is an industry-based chemical engineering professor at San Jose State University.

"We are very excited to have John and Marc join our advisory board," noted Michael E. Schuss, president and CEO of Canadian International. "They are bonafide experts in a number of areas, one of which being lithium brines, and we are looking forward to working with them towards the evaluation and advancement of our lithium brine resource in Alberta. This is a major milestone for our company."

We seek Safe Harbor.
