Canasia Industries Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CAJ)(FRANKFURT:45C)(OTCBB:CANSF) ("Canasia") announces that SJ Geophysics Ltd., of Delta, BC, has been retained to implement a ground-based geophysical survey as part of the 2008 summer work program on Canasia's Jumbo Gold Property located in southeastern BC. It is anticipated that crews will be on the ground during the second week of June.

The work to be done consists of a 3D Induced Polarization/Resistivity ("3DIP") geophysical survey, which will cover approximately 13 line kilometres and using the 3DIP technique. The 3DIP survey will consist of a modified pole-dipole survey with 25 metres dipoles and 50 metres spaced lines.

The Jumbo Property consists of three claims, (approximately 630 hectares), which cover a north-striking shear zone that cuts an intrusive feldspar porphyry phase of the Nelson Batholith. The shear zone hosts an epithermal mineralized zone, with a number of showings exposed along the access road. The mineralization was explored by past operators through three short adits, all of which are now collapsed and covered. Production from the Jumbo property between 1973 and 1983 totaled 53 tonnes, yielding 22,930 grams silver, 531 grams gold, 2,665 kilograms lead and 1,891 kilograms zinc.

Mineralization on the Jumbo property consists of silver-bearing galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and gold in the form of electrum associated with iron-carbonate and quartz in epithermal veins. In 1981, two truck loads mineralized material were shipped to the Trail smelter for testing. The first truck load assayed 0.368 oz/T gold, 6.25 oz/T silver and 3.8% lead. The second load assayed 0.412 oz/T gold, 7.1 oz/T silver and 4% lead.

The property is situated just east of the Enterprise Mine and west of Timber Creek on the west side of Kokanee Glacier park. The Enterprise Mine (owned by others) has produced at least 12,274 Tons which averaged 95 opt silver, 16.5% lead and 21.9% zinc (MINFILE 082FNW148).

Readers should note that the information on historic work performed on the property disclosed on this release was completed prior to implementation of National Instrument 43-101, therefore the results spoken of do not comply with modern reporting standards and should not be relied upon until such time as additional work is completed on the property.

Graeme Sewell, a director of Canasia stated, "We are very excited to begin the 2008 Summer Exploration program on our 100% optioned Jumbo Gold Property. When you add in our 450,000 potential acres of Potash claims, our Clone Gold Property in BC, our 92,000 acres of coal leases under priority application and our interest in almost 200,000 acres on land contiguous to the recently announced VMS discovery at Reed Lake, management is very excited to be involved in these highly prospective plays."

Richard Walker, P.Geo, the qualified person under NI 43-101 for this project, has approved the technical content of this news release.
