Vancouver, BC.: CMC Metals Ltd. – (“the Company”) (TSX-V: CMB): is pleased to provide an update on the exploration potential at its 100% owned Logjam Property. Logjam is located in south-central Yukon approximately 250km from Whitehorse and 185 km west of Watson Lake and is accessible through a road extending 20km northwards from the Yukon-Alaska Highway. The property comprises of 32 claims (632 hectares).

Mineralization at Logjam comprises of no less than 10 polymetallic veins containing gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper and to a lesser extent antimony, bismuth and tungsten. Logjam has seen a lot of historical work completed on the project including 701 meters of underground development in two adits (5600 and 5150 levels) and 2,971 meters of drilling. It has a non-compliant historical NI 43-101 resource of 70,144 tons grading 392.2 g/t silver, 3.02 g/t gold (with estimated 2% lead and 3% zinc) between the two adit levels and the deposit is open along both strike and depth. Limited exploration has taken place since the mid 1980’s but it is considered that the property has significant exploration potential for a polymetallic deposit.

The Company conducted a brief reconnaissance effort to examine areas with obvious mineralization on the property, complete an assessment of the property infrastructure (including a former 40 person camp), and property accessibility to help plan future exploration and permitting efforts. During this reconnaissance effort, 7 grab samples were collected.

Key highlights from the grab samples collected during the reconnaissance regional sampling effort at Logjam include (also see attached map appearing on page two):

Sample 1319601: Obtained 1.99 g/t gold, 489 g/t silver, 4.4% lead, 1,555 g/t zinc, and 1,636 g/t stibnite (antimony sulfide)

Sample 1319603: Obtained 7.53 g/t gold, 1000 g/t silver, 10% lead, 1,836 g/t zinc, 2,000 g/t stibnite, and 6,673 g/t copper.

Sample 1319604: Obtained 3.66 g/t gold, 211 g/t silver, 6,657 g/t lead, 4% zinc, 393 g/t stibnite, and 1,882 g/t copper.

Sample 1319606 (taken from the underground portal): Obtained 49.6 g/t silver, 4,137 g/t lead, 6,350 g/t zinc, and 414 g/t copper.

The other three samples from the regional reconnaissance effort all identified anomalous amounts of gold, silver, lead, zinc, copper, and antimony mineralization.

Michael Scholz, Chairman noted: “This very brief reconnaissance effort confirmed our belief that Logjam has the potential to be a major polymetallic deposit. The areal extent of anomalous polymetallic veins and associated grades are very encouraging. The existing infrastructure including the adits and camp will help our exploration efforts considerably. Our focus in 2020 will remain on our flagship Silver Hart property in Yukon, however, Logjam is of great interest to us so we will immediately initiate permitting for exploration. Also this summer we propose to improve site access, remediate the camp, and prepare for more detailed exploration in 2021. Logjam has never been subjected to modern exploration methods so we will initially complete modelling of the known deposit and then work towards establishing a better understanding of the structure and mineralizing controls on the property so that we can formulate our exploration strategy.”

Assays

Assays were completed by Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories Canada Ltd. and quality control and sampling at Logjam was provided by Longford Exploration Services Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C. who are a fully independent geological consulting company.
