Canada Fluorspar Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CFI)(OTC:CNDFF) ("CFI" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce the fourth set of assay results under the Company's Phase 3
diamond drilling program from three drill holes on its Grebes Nest property. One
of the drill holes, GS-13-13, is in the same plane as previously reported for
drill hole GS-13-14 (press release dated August 6, 2013) and intersected two
veins, one vein having an intersection with an average grade of 54.65% CaF2 over
4.21 metres and a second vein having an average grade of 43.88% CaF2 over 24.47
metres, including 2.90 metres of lost core. The other two drill holes, GS-13-17
and GS-13-19, are located 100 metres and 200 metres, respectively, east along
strike from previously reported drill hole GS-13-15. The new vein structure is
situated approximately 4 km from the former Tarefare Mine and less than 6 km
from the former Blue Beach North Mine (see location map below). Both drill holes
are located on the western end of the Grebes Nest grid area. Ground geophysical
(magnetometer and EM) survey results indicate that the mineralized structure has
potential to extend for more than 4,000 metres along strike.
Drill hole GS-13-13 was inclined at -45 degrees and oriented at azimuth 34
degrees. Drill hole GS-13-17 was inclined at -45 degrees and oriented at azimuth
34 degrees and drill hole GS-13-19 was inclined at -45 degrees and oriented at
azimuth 34 degrees.

Assay Results
Drill hole GS-13-13 tested the down-dip extension of the Grebes Nest Vein on the
same plane as the previously reported (press release dated August 6, 2013) drill
hole GS-13-14. This hole intersected two vein structures: the first
mineralization intersected was a vein having an average grade of 54.65% CaF2
over 4.21 metres; the second vein, located deeper than the first by
approximately 22 metres, has an average grade of 43.88% CaF2 over 24.47 metres,
including 2.90 metres of lost core. Excluding the lost core, the vein has an
average grade of 49.78% CaF2 over 21.57 metres.
Drill hole GS-13-17 intersected a vein structure having an average grade of
27.96% CaF2 over 11.12 metres, with 1.53 metres of lost core. Excluding the lost
core, the average grade increases to 33.13% CaF2 over 9.59 metres.
Drill hole GS-13-19 intersected a vein structure having an average grade of
76.13% CaF2 over 4.58 metres, with 0.3 metres of lost core. Excluding the lost
core, the average grade increases to 81.46% CaF2 over 4.28 metres.
The fluorite mineralization in the north-south trending veins at the St.
Lawrence Project and the Company's 100% owned mineral license occur in the form
of massive mineralization and as fault gouge. Historically, core drilling of the
massive mineralization has resulted in good core recovery. The areas of faulted
mineralization generally contain finely ground fluorite and larger fragments of
the harder siliceous material. Drilling through the faulted gouge zones commonly
results in poor core recovery as the fine grained fluorite material in the vein
is washed out by the drill fluid. The Grebes Nest vein/structure, comprised of
fluorite mineralization in a northwest-southeast trending structure, differs
from the north-south trending vein structures in that the mineralization is
characteristically massive and relatively unaffected by late phase faulting.
Intervals noted as lost core encountered during the drilling of test holes are
commonly "vugs" or "voids" in the vein and rarely faulted sections in the vein.

"As expected, these latest drill results confirming the strike length for the
West Grebes Nest vein to be over 925 metres extends our confidence that further
drilling in Phase 3 drilling will support a strike length of up to 1.5 km,"
stated Lindsay Gorrill, President & CEO of the Company. "I am also encouraged by
the fact that since the Grebes Nest Vein is hosted essentially by metasediments,
rather than granite, the silica content is lower and blastonite, a brecciated
fluorite in an admix of microcrystalline quartz and fluorite, is virtually
absent. This should result in a coarser mill concentrate with lower silica
content than formerly produced in St. Lawrence."
Geological Interpretation
CFI has received assay results for samples collected from drill holes GS-13-13,
GS-13-17 and GS-13-19 located along the western part of the Grebes Nest target
area. The three drill holes intersected mineralization that has been interpreted
to be the Grebes Nest vein which trends northwest-southeast and is steeply
dipping.
Drill hole GS-13-13 is located in the same plane as a previously reported hole
GS-13-14 (press release dated August 6, 2013) and intersected the main structure
approximately 35 metres above drill hole GS-13-14. Drill hole GS-13-13 is
located 100 metres west along strike from a previously reported (press release
dated August 6, 2013) drill hole GS-13-15. This drill hole also tested a
separate vein structures located near surface. Further drilling will be required
to determine the extent of this vein structure.
Drill hole GS-13-17 is spaced about 100 metres east along strike from a
previously reported (press release dated August 6, 2013) drill hole GS-13-15. It
extends the previously reported strike of the Grebes Nest vein from 725 metres
to 825 metres. It intersected the vein structure about 80 metres vertically
below surface.
Drill hole GS-13-19 is spaced about 100 metres east along strike from drill hole
GS-13-17 and extends the Grebes Nest vein strike length out to about 925 metres.
Drilling intersected the vein structure approximately 75 metres vertically below
surface.
Preliminary interpretation of the drill results indicates that the western part
of the target area of the mineralized Grebes Nest structure maintains a
relatively uniform width along strike and within a vertical depth of 100 to 125
metres below the surface. The drill intersections also indicate very competent
core and good continuity of mineralized material at depth. CFI notes that most
of the mineralized material is hosted by metasedimentary rocks (interbedded
siltstones and shales, whereas most of the mineralized material at the major
fluorspar veins in the general area - the historic Director, Tarefare, and Blue
Beach North Mines - are hosted by the St. Lawrence Granite ("SLG")). The
metasedimentary rocks in the St. Lawrence area are older than the SLG and early
geological mapping indicates that the Grebes Nest area is underlain by
interlayered pink rhyolite sills, similar in composition to the SLG, which
intruded the metasedimentary rocks. The structure that has been identified by
the drill program is a late phase event that cuts both the metasedimentary rocks
and the sills. The parallel veins, such as the veins identified in drill hole
GS-13-13 have been known to develop into significant mineable veins in other
locations in the St Lawrence area. The significance of the parallel veins
remains to be evaluated.
The following table shows the detailed results of the second set of drill holes
completed by CFI on the Grebes Nest Vein noted in Phase 3 of the Company's 2013
exploration diamond drill program.

Assays on these drill holes were carried out at SGS Lakefield Laboratories
("SGS") of Lakefield, Ontario, using the Ion Selective Electrode method to
determine the fluorite content in the low-grade samples and the Dual Calcium
method for samples expected to contain high-grade values (i.e., those with
significant visible fluorspar in the drill core).
Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC")
Check assay work by CFI includes insertion of duplicate samples and blanks with
regular batches of mineralized samples of drill core. QA/QC work is also done at
SGS, and results are reviewed and verified by CFI personnel. An independent
geological consultant (Qualified Person) has submitted additional samples
collected from the drill core for analyses.
Phase 1 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to assess the northern
extension of the Director Vein structure. The six drill holes with assay results
to date have shown that the fluorspar mineralization at the Director Vein
extends further along strike and at depth from the old Aluminum Company of
Canada ("Alcan") workings.
Phase 2 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to evaluate the southern
extension of the Director Vein. A trenching program and a geophysical survey
conducted in the area during 2012 identified the structure over a strike length
of 1,000 metres. The current drill program was planned to evaluate the mineral
potential, at depth, of the southern extension of Director Structure and to test
the north extension of the adjacent Hares Ears Vein to the west.
Phase 3 of the 2013 exploration program was designed to evaluate the Grebes Nest
mineral property, namely the Grebes Nest vein which was identified in the 1940s.
The vein was exposed on the east side of Little Lawn Harbour where the structure
is approximately 1 metre wide and dips to the north at -70 degrees. Prospecting
in the late 1940s traced the structure, through a series of trenches, to the
southeast for a reported distance of 3.2 kilometers. In the late 1940s, a 20
metre deep exploration shaft was sunk on the vein about 500 metres east of the
coast. A drift was driven along the vein for 60 metres and a number of short
cross-cuts were developed. In 1949, five short drill holes were completed
approximately 1 km southeast of the shaft and to the south of the projected
strike of the structure. These drill holes identified a number of narrow veins
in the metasediments. Due to the remote location of the showing and the adequate
reserves at the operating mines owned by Alcan, no additional work was
undertaken.
Initial exploration information regarding the 2013 exploration program at
Director Vein was included in the Company's press releases dated January 16,
2013 and March 12, 2013.
To date, six Phase 1 drill holes have been completed together with 26 additional
drill holes in Phase 2 (19 holes in south extension Director Vein and seven
holes at Hares Ears Vein) and 26 drill holes in Phase 3 (Grebes Nest area) of
the 2013 exploration program. Assay results for remaining completed drill holes
in Phase 2 and Phase 3 are pending.
Historic exploration data indicates that there are more than 40 mineralized
veins within the CFI property. The three prominent vein structures, however, are
the Director Vein, Blue Beach North Vein, and the Tarefare Vein. Probable
Reserves of the Blue Beach North and Tarefare veins total approximately 5.4
million tonnes at an average grade of 39.8% CaF2. These Mineral Reserves have
been outlined to a vertical depth of 300 metres below the surface, but fluorspar
mineralization extends further at depth. The key assumptions, parameters and
methods used to estimate the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as well as
other relevant information, including data verification, with respect to the
Blue Beach North and Tarefare veins can be found in a NI 43-101 Technical Report
prepared by the Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. dated March 6, 2013, which has
been filed by the Company on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
