Canadian International Minerals Inc is a junior resource company focused on the exploration, discovery and development of deposits of exotic metals and minerals in demand for technologies related to renewable energy, hybrid vehicles, clean air and carbon emission reduction.

Demand for exotic metals and minerals in recent years has risen dramatically, as have their prices. By many estimates current projected material demands for solar panels and hybrid vehicle production will exceed existing production as well as consume all of the presently developed resources.

Many of these mines and deposits were established at the time when solid state electronics were introduced in the 1950's. Transistors and other components that replaced vacuum tubes needed new metals such as silicon and tantalum. The next wave of exploration in the 1970's was with the rise in demand driven by the personal computer. There is a major hiatus, up to 50 years, in exploration and new discoveries of high tech metals and minerals.

Silicon, germanium, gallium, indium, tantalum, lanthanum and neodymium are metals that can't be replaced in new technologies which the world has now come to take for granted.

All new green technologies are dependent on exotic metals, and present and upcoming worldwide environmental regulations and carbon taxes are also dependent on these technologies enabling industry to comply. Handheld electronics depend on these metals, as well as many chemical processes for a wide variety of everyday products that are too numerous to mention.

Unlike the traditional precious and base metals exploration, very little data from previous exploration programs for high tech metals exists, as much of the work was done by technology companies or government agencies during the Cold War, and the work was deemed top secret.

This provides an excellent opportunity for an aggressive junior company to use basic geological research and prospecting to acquire a large portfolio of high potential targets at low cost.
