8/17/2009 (BAYSTREET NEWSWIRE)

Precious Metals Review of CMC Metals Ltd. (TSX-V: CMB)(Pink Sheets: CMCXF) provides insight into the opportunity afforded investors as the CMC Metals 100% owned Silver Hart mine and mill is set to come online in Q2 2010, making CMB.V Canada's newest long term debt free unhedged silver producer. This exciting exploration/near-term producer is the subject of a recently published article by regular Kitco contributor, gold and silver mining expert, journalist David Bond. Precious Metals Review has published a synopsis of the article and provides full text of the aforementioned subject article.

Excerpts:
"...after interviewing CMC Metals' CEO, Don Wedman (P.Eng) and going over CMC's very conservative estimates of its silver stash, cost of production and decimal-point-defying ore grades, and a quiet heads-up from our most reliable stock-picker, we're going to take a flyer on this no-brainer.

CMC Metals is in the process of installing a prefabricated 80 tonne/day mill (upgradable to 300 t.p.d.) at its 100%-owned Silver Hart project in the south-central Yukon. They've exposed a 6.5 million-ounce resource of high-grade silver averaging more than 56 ounces per tonne. That's about 5 times the cut-off grade here in the Coeur d'Alene District's underground mines, except that this baby's open-pit. CMC has blocked out an initial 9 million ounces of silver with a very nice 7.5% lead and zinc component that knocks the extraction cost down to a very comfortable $4.45/oz.

The story gets better. The 5200-acre Silver Hart is less than 5 percent explored; there are 20 known mineralized trench showings with visible massive galena, with only three of the 20 zones having been drilled so far. Extrapolating the numbers a bit from what CMB already has blocked out, and you could easily be staring at a 55-million oz. deposit. Additionally, CMC Metals has another pair of properties – one in late-stage development, in close proximity to the Silver Hart."
