Canada Fluorspar Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CFI) (OTC:CNDFF) ("CFI" or the "Company"), is
pleased to announce new mineral resources of the Director Vein and AGS Vein
(formerly the Grebes Nest Vein) deposits at its 100% owned St. Lawrence property
in St. Lawrence, NL, including 2.1 million tonnes of Indicated Mineral Resources
at an average grade of 51.0% CaF(2)and 8.5 million tonnes of Inferred Mineral
Resources at an average grade of 42.2% CaF(2), as disclosed in the Company's
National Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report titled "Technical Report
on the Director Vein Extensions and AGS Vein Deposits, St. Lawrence Property,
Newfoundland and Labrador" prepared by Agnerian Consulting Ltd. (Agnerian) and
dated November 15, 2013 (the "2013 Technical Report"). The 2013 Technical Report
was filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on December 4,
2013.
The key assumptions, parameters and methods used to estimate the mineral
resources, as well as other relevant information, including data verification,
with respect to the Director and AGS Veins can be found in the 2013 Technical
Report.
These resources are based on recent drilling at the down-dip and southern
extensions of the Director Vein as well as the western part of the AGS Vein
(Figure 1). These resources are estimated by MFW Geoscience Inc., in cooperation
with Agnerian Consulting Ltd., by constructing a block model of the mineralized
zones of these two vein systems. The table below lists the tonnage and average
grades for each of the Director and AGS Veins.
Mineral Resource Estimates of the Director Vein and AGS Vein, as of November 1, 2013
Director Vein
Category Area Tonnes % CaF(2)
Indicated Northern Down Dip Extension 1,160,000 58.0
Indicated Central Down Dip Extension 210,000 43.0
Indicated Southern Extension 690,000 43.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Indicated Director Vein 2,070,000 51.0
Inferred Northern Down Dip Extension 670,000 52.0
Inferred Central Down Dip Extension 630,000 36.0
Inferred South Extension 60,000 28.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Inferred Director Vein 1,370,000 43.0
AGS Vein
%
Category Area Tonnes CaF (2)
Inferred Vein A 640,000 47.0
Inferred Vein B 870,000 35.0
Inferred Vein C 5,280,000 43.0
Inferred Vein D 60,000 40.0
Inferred Vein E 240,000 38.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Inferred AGS Vein 7,090,000 42.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Inferred Director and AGS Veins 8,460,000 42.2
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
(1) CIM definitions were followed for the resource estimate.
(2) Mineral resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 20% CaF(2)and a
minimum horizontal width of 2.0 m.
(3) Average density of mineralized rock is 3.10 t/m(3).
(4) Tonnage and average grade numbers are rounded.
(5) Mineral resources exclude mined out areas from historical mining.
The thickness of the Director Vein ranges from less than 1.0 m to more than 11.0
m, and the thickness of the AGS Vein ranges from 2.0 m to approximately 20.0 m,
with values of mineralized intervals of diamond drill core samples ranging from
7% CaF(2)to approximately 90% CaF(2).
There are additional areas of fluorspar mineralization adjacent to the old mined
out parts of the Director Vein above the 550 level of the historic fluorspar
mine. Mineralization in these areas ranges from approximately 1.0 million tonnes
to 1.2 million tonnes at average grades ranging from 50% CaF(2)to 55% CaF(2).
Agnerian Consulting Ltd. is of the opinion that this material cannot be
considered as Mineral Resources at the present time, because of weak ground
conditions experienced during mining in the past between levels 550 and 250.

The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves in respect of the Tarefare and Blue
Beach North deposits, as disclosed in the National Instrument 43-101 compliant
Technical Report by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. dated April 30,
2009 and filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR on May 21, 2009 ("2009 RPA
Report"), were estimated and reported as follows:
-- Mineral Resources: At a cut-off grade of 20% CaF(2)and a minimum
horizontal thickness of 2 m, the Mineral Resources of Blue Beach North
and Tarefare veins total approximately 9.1 million tonnes of Indicated
Mineral Resources at an average grade of 42.0% CaF(2), and 950,000
tonnes of Inferred Mineral Resources at an average grade of 31.1%
CaF(2).
-- Mineral Reserves: At a cut-off grade of 30% CaF(2)and a minimum
horizontal thickness of 2 m, the Probable Mineral Reserves of the Blue
Beach North and Tarefare veins total approximately 5.4 million tonnes at
an average grade of approximately 39.8% CaF(2). The Mineral Reserves are
part of the Mineral Resources.
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 the 2009 RPA Report. The Blue Beach North and Tarefare Veins have
overall average widths of 5.0 m and 3.5 m, respectively.
Lindsay Gorrill, President and Chief Executive Officer of CFI, said, "We are
very pleased about the discovery at the AGS Vein, and estimates of the Mineral
Resources at the Director Vein and AGS Vein. This opens up a new avenue for
development of fluorspar mines at St. Lawrence. Our immediate plans include
further in-fill drilling at the western part of the AGS Vein and drill testing
at the eastern half of the AGS Vein system, in an effort to upgrade the Mineral
Resources in the western part, and increase the Mineral Resources of the AGS
deposit".

fluctuations, imprecision of reserve estimates, environmental risks, competition
from other producers, ability to access sufficient debt and equity capital from
internal and external sources, ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet
its current and future obligations, regulatory approvals affecting construction
and mining operations. Such forward-looking statements are also based on a
number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not
limited to, assumptions about the following: the availability of financing for
exploration and development activities, the estimated timeline for the

resource estimates are based, the receipt of necessary permit, market
competition, ongoing relations with employees and impacted communities, and
general business and economic conditions. Should one or more of the risks or
uncertainties involved in forward- looking statements materialize, or should the
assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those
