CFI Califfi Capital Corp

Canada Fluorspar Inc. ("CFI" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CFI) and Arkema ("Arkema") (PARIS: AKE) are pleased to announce the completion of the previously announced initial investment by Arkema in CFI.

This initial investment amounted to CDN$15.5 million and consisted of Arkema acquiring a 9.9 percent interest in CFI through the issuance of 10.3 million common shares from treasury at a price of $0.75 per share and 10.4 million subscription receipts at a price of $0.75 per subscription receipt, representing a further 10.0 percent of the common shares on conversion (a total of 19.9 per cent on a when-converted basis). The investment of CDN$7.85 million received from the purchase of subscription receipts has been placed in escrow to be released to CFI upon the closing of the subsequent investment in a new partnership described in the press release of June 15, 2011.

Arkema's second investment tranche of CDN$68.0 million will be funded into the new partnership to be owned equally by CFI and Arkema, and which is expected to be closed in August, 2011. As part of the new partnership, CFI will contribute the mining rights and permits related to the Blue Beach mine, Tarefare mine, the mill facilities and the tailings pond needed to produce fluorspar. Upon completion of the subsequent investment, Arkema's total investment in CFI will amount to CDN$83.5 million.

CFI is also pleased to announce that Mr. Richard Rowe and Ms. Lisa Brody, nominees of Arkema, have both been appointed to the board of directors of CFI effective today.

Richard Carl, Executive Chairman of CFI commented, "With the closing of Arkema's initial investment in CFI, we are now well capitalized to commence our efforts in the reopening of our St. Lawrence fluorspar project." Richard Carl also noted, "On behalf of the management team and the Board of Directors, I would like to welcome Ms. Brody and Mr. Rowe as new members of the Board of Directors."
