TORONTO, ON–(Marketwired – March 16, 2017) –
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
COBALTECH MINING INC. (TSX VENTURE: CSK)(FRANKFURT: 9BN1)(WKN: A2DG59)(OTC PINK: BNCIF) (the “Company” or “CobalTech”), is pleased to announce that it has acquired the Werner Lake East Cobalt Property near Kenora, Ontario, Canada. These claims are contiguous to Global Energy Metals’ Werner Lake Cobalt Property.
The property consists of 9 mineral claims adjoining Global Energy Metals Corp’s Werner Lake Cobalt Project and including the Werner Lake East Mineral Occurrence areas. The property is underlain by an east-west magnetic trend parallel to the main Werner Lake trend and covers a total area of approximately 537 ha (1328 acres) in size. The Werner Lake East occurrence was discovered in the 1920s and has returned historical values of up to 2.08% Co over 3.0m*.
“CobalTech continues with its strategy of acquiring quality assets that have historically returned samples with high grade cobalt assays. The Werner Lake area is another well-established target for cobalt in Ontario. We believe that the Werner Lake East occurrence may be an indication of a mineralized trend lying to the South of the main trend and the Company will approach exploration bearing this model in mind.” commented Antoine Fournier, President and CEO.
Under the agreement of procurement CobalTech has agreed to make payment to the vendor Mr. Greg William Smith and Mr. Kulwant Malhi a total of 1 million (1,000,000) common shares of the Company and a deemed price of $0.34 per share.
Antoine Fournier, P. Geo., M.Sc. is the Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, and he has prepared and reviewed the technical information on this press release.
The supply of cobalt continues to be a source of concern with the exponential growth of the lithium battery triggered by the green energy sector. It is generally produced as a by-product of either copper or nickel production and these have limited capacities to adapt to a substantial growth in demand.
CobalTech is working toward becoming a major cobalt miner and producer, supplying the growing North American battery market. The Company aims to obtain 100% ownership of mineral deposits and processing facilities, giving CobalTech the ability to deliver a ground to market business.
