King’s Bay Commences Exploration Program at Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project
King’s Bay Commences Exploration Program at Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: July 26, 2017
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) – King’s Bay Resources Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), a mineral exploration and development company based in Vancouver Canada, is pleased to announce that it has received exploration permit approval and will commence an exploration program on its 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} owned, Trump Island Copper-Cobalt Project on the northern coast of Newfoundland.
King’s Bay has assembled a technical field team to immediately investigate the historical geologic data from the past producing copper-cobalt mine at North Trump Island. Phase 1 of the program will include a localized geophysical survey, grab sampling in existing mine shaft and reconnaissance of the remainder of the island for new showings. Pending positive results, Phase 2 of the exploration program will potentially include a drilling program.
Property Overview
The North Trump Island Property consists of 8 mineral claims encompassing an area of 2 square kilometers and is located 7 kilometers south of town of Twillingate, Newfoundland and Labrador. The property is accessible by boat 1.5 kilometers east from the nearest boat launch at Tizzard’s Harbour on NL Hwy 345.
The property’s history dates back to the mid 1860’s when a 20-foot (6.1 m) shaft was sunk on a mineralized zone of massive chalcopyrite. At the bottom of the shaft, it was reported that the mineralized zone expanded with depth but, due to limited technology, no further excavation could be safely continued. Follow up grab sampling in 1999 by G. Lewis, an experienced local prospector, revealed mineralization assaying up to 3.80{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.30{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 2.90 g/t Au and 10.9 g/t Ag near the old Clymo mine shaft. The property has not been drilled to date. The compilation of the recent 1998-99 field work done by Lewis suggests that a more detailed exploration program is warranted.
Exploration History
In 1863 Nicholas Clymo, a miner of Cornwall, United Kingdom visited the area and sunk a pit to a depth of 20 feet (6.1 m) which followed a 3 feet (0.9 m) wide mineralized zone that was said to increase in thickness with depth. He reported that a shipment of high grade copper-cobalt ore was shipped to Swansea, England as documented in the Newfoundland Provincial Mineral Rights Database. This shipment was said to be worth “40 pounds per fathom” (Clymo, 1863). In 1953, J. Kalliokoski of the Newfoundland Geologic Survey headed up a mapping and prospecting program for Newmont Mining Company in the area but no sample assays were reported. In the 1990s, G. Lewis conducted prospecting and limited rock and soil grab samples and filed a first-year assessment report in 1999 with the Newfoundland and Labrador Mineral Titles Branch.
About King’s Bay
King’s Bay is focused on the exploration of cobalt and other high‐tech metals in North America. The Company believes in this emerging fast‐growth sector and will continue to seek out and evaluate properties that show promise for development. King’s Bay Gold Corp is operating as “King’s Bay”.

Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: July 6, 2017
Vancouver BC. (FSCwire) – King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG) (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mineral exploration company based in Vancouver submits application to Newfoundland and Labrador Government, Department of Natural Resources for the commencement of phase 2 of the exploration program in south eastern Labrador.
Phase 2 of the Lynx Lake exploration program will involve ground truthing for the recently flown VTEM survey, which highlighted an area of low resistivity in the western pit of mineralization. The size of the anomaly is anticipated to be ranging in depth from 50-300meters and estimated to be approximately 400 meters in diameter. The “west pit” has been historically sampled yielding assays of up to 1.03{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Copper, 0.56{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cobalt, 0.23{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Vanadium, 0.10{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Nickel and 5.0g/t Silver.
The exploration program will consist of a localized ground electromagnetic survey over the anomaly at 20-meter line spacing. It will also include reconnaissance for bedrock exposure in the underexplored anomalous area that runs south of the west pit.
About Lynx Lake
The Lynx lake Project has returned historical grab samples assaying up to 1.39{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.94{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 0.21{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Ni and 6.5g/t Ag. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary handheld electromagnetic unit surveys done by local prospectors have shown strong conductors beneath the overburden, and provide incentive to explore the area further for additional subsurface mineralization. The Project is located directly adjacent to a 3 phase powerline and the Trans-Labrador Highway.

King’s Bay Identifies VTEM Target at Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project, Southeastern Labrador
King’s Bay Identifies VTEM Target at Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project, Southeastern Labrador
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: June 19, 2017
Vancouver. British Columbia (FSCwire) – King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver Canada, is pleased to announce that after an in depth analysis of Geotech Ltd.’s VTEM geophysical survey, a high priority electromagnetic target has been located at King’s Bay’s 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} owned Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project in southeastern Labrador.
After the data compilation and analysis of Geotech Ltd.’s. helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic System (VTEM), King’s Bay’s technical team has identified a shallow anomaly of high resistivity in what is known as the “west pit” which is directly adjacent to the Trans-Labrador Highway. The size of the anomaly is anticipated to be ranging in depth from 50-300 meters and estimated to be approximately 400 meters in diameter. The “west pit” has been historically sampled yielding assays of up to 1.03{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Copper, 0.56{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cobalt, 0.23{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Vanadium, 0.10{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Nickel and 5.0g/t Silver.
Exploration Program
King’s Bay plans to assemble a technical field team immediately to investigate the VTEM anomaly. This summer’s program will be completed by executing a more local, higher resolution ground geophysical survey followed by potential stripping of overburden to the south of the pit so bedrock can be exposed. In addition to this, a reconnaissance team will begin to investigate the southeastern portion of the property to follow up on the anomalous historical soil samples. Detailed mapping and sampling in the two pits will aid in understanding of mineralization controls.
Kevin Bottomley states “The positive identification of an anomaly in the west pit will allow King’s Bay to initiate a highly focused exploration program at Lynx Lake with a relatively low cost. This is exactly what we were hoping for when we initiated the VTEM program with Geotech”.
About VTEM
The helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic System (VTEM) has a penetration depth of over 800 m, with a low Base Frequency (30Hz) for penetration through conductive overburden cover, coupled with a 2-3 meters High Spatial Resolution. This system is advertised to be able to delineate potential drill hole targets from the airborne results. In addition, it also has excellent resistivity discrimination to enable the detection of weak anomalies.
Lynx Lake Project
The Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Property consists of 959 mineral claims encompassing a land area of approximately 240 square kilometers, located 100 kilometers southeast of Happy Valley Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. Historic grab sampling on the property has returned samples assaying up to 1.39{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.94{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 0.21{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Ni and 6.5g/t Ag. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary handheld electromagnetic surveys done by local prospectors have shown strong conductors beneath the overburden, and provide incentive to explore the area further for additional subsurface mineralization. The Project is located directly adjacent to a 3 phase powerline and the Trans-Labrador Highway.

Tesla Motors is currently building a gigafactory. Some of you may be confused about what that is exactly, and why Tesla may need such a huge facility. When finished, the gigafactory will be the largest building in the world in terms of footprint, with 5.5 Million square feet. This will be second only to Boeing’s Everett factory (4.3 Million square feet). The endeavour is also very expensive, with an estimated cost of US$5 Billion. In line with Elon Musk’s goal to transition the world to renewable energy, the gigafactory will be entirely self-sufficient and powered by solar panels. The entire roof of the factory will be covered with solar cells, which are expected to produce 70MW of power. To give you an idea, the largest rooftop array in the world right now produces 11.5MW (in India).
A clean planet
Elon Musk recently stated in a Ted Talk that his ultimate goal is to make the world run entirely on renewable energy. To make this happen, he aims to produce 500,000 electric vehicles per year. This cannot be done economically if the parts have to be transported halfway across the world several times before the product is finished. Thus the need for a centralized facility, where the materials come in one end, and the finished vehicle comes out the other.
The gigafactory has already started producing the most innovative and crucial element of these cars: their lithium-ion batteries. And Tesla’s new 2170 battery cell is not only more efficient, but also cheaper than most on the market. The 2170 is around 10 per cent larger than its predecessor (the 18650 cell), but can store up to double the charge. It will also drop battery production cost by 25 per cent.
The essential element
In these super-powerful batteries is a crucial element: cobalt. For example, there is approximately 22.5 kilograms of it in Tesla’s Model S. The metal is currently mostly mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC); where labour conditions are generally problematic and child labour is frequent. Consequently, Elon Musk has stated that all cobalt used by Tesla will only come from North America. Some have pointed out that it may be difficult to find enough ethical cobalt at feasible prices. But there is cobalt in North America, and King’s Bay (TSV:KBG, FSE:KGB1) is looking for it at the Lynx Lake Property in Labrador (Canada). The company is confident in the preliminary samples from the asset: “Grab samples from gossanous areas of the eastern rock pit have yielded assays up to 0.94{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co”. For the preliminary Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) results, have a look at King’s Bay’s latest news release.

Lithium supply to outweigh demand by 2018, cobalt to remain tight: CRU
Lithium supply to outweigh demand by 2018, cobalt to remain tight: CRU
Dublin (Platts)–26 Apr 2017 952 am EDT/1352 GMT
Lithium supply was expected to outweigh demand as early as next year, UK-based consultancy CRU’s Rebecca Gordon said Wednesday, while the cobalt market should remain tight well into the next decade on continued supply shortness.
While massive growth in battery demand was set to see consumption of both metals soar in coming years, new lithium supply was expected to match demand by 2018, reaching a peak of 25{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of total supply by 2022, Gordon told a Minor Metals Trade Association meeting in Dublin.
“The 2016 lithium cost curve shows why prices had to rise so sharply,” Gordon said, referring to lithium carbonate and hydroxide spot prices of over $10,000/mt in 2017, having doubled in less than 12 months on rising expectations of a demand boom from battery metals and tightness in supply.
“By 2020, the picture has changed, with brine expansions and new hard rock production keep prices in check and $6,500-7,000 the new cost level.”
By that time, China’s brine resources in Tibet and Qinghai were expected to come online, reducing unit costs, while spodumene resources in Sichuan and lepidolite resources in Jianxi were “committed and probable”, Gordon said.
Even modest demand forecasts see annual lithium output growing to 500,000 mt by 2020 from around 200,000 mt currently.
BENCHMARK BATTERY PRODUCTION
According to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s Andy Miller, also speaking in Dublin, lithium-ion batteries developed in “gigafactories” around the world, such as Tesla’s in the US, were expected to top 175 GWh by 2020, up from around 30 GWh now.
Tesla has recently said it will reach total production by 2018, in which time it will produce more lithium-ion batteries than were produced worldwide in 2013.
With electric vehicle production expected to be around 500,000 cars per year by the end of the decade, Tesla alone will require all of current lithium production.
But the story is bigger than Tesla. Over 60{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} of battery production in 2020 was expected in China, compared with around 20{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} in the US, Miller said.
“The lithium-ion industry is a China story,” Miller said, with Europe far behind.
Unlike CRU, Miller did not foresee supply outpacing demand in coming years and although he expected new spodumene supply to fill any deficit in the short term, prices should remain high on tightness.
The story for cobalt was similar, he said. Also a component in cathodes for lithium-ion batteries, prices have surged over 60{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} in the past 12 months on expectations of increased demand and supply tightness.
But whereas lithium supply has increased markedly in anticipation of greater demand, cobalt supply remained restricted.
Although traded on the London Metal Exchange, it is hard to access supply. Production is largely a byproduct of other metals such as nickel, so it is hard to get financing for projects based on cobalt prices, despite the recent spike.
The metal also comes nearly exclusively from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which brings with it significant supply risk, given issues around mining practice, including child labor.
CRU expected a deficit in both mined and refined cobalt supply this year and next and although stocks should be able to meet much of the increase in demand in the short term, new supply will be needed by 2020.
Artisanal supply was expected to play an important role, especially as a swing producer when supply is tight.
CRU has identified a number of processors located in the DRC around Kolowezi, Likasi and Lubumbashi, that sell concentrates believed to be derived from local small scale and artisanal operations, Gordon said.
Gordon estimated these produced around 10,500 mt of artisanal cobalt in 2015 and around 8,500 mt in 2016. She forecast around 10,000 mt this year.
At the same time, recycling remained a concern for both lithium and cobalt, accounting for a tiny proportion of refined supply currently.
With a 7-8 year life, electric vehicle battery recycling volumes should start to pick up after 2021 and producers such as Apple and Nissan have talked recently about the importance of battery recycling.
Both speakers agreed that more work was needed in terms of regulation or industry best practice in battery recycling to secure supply.

King’s Bay (KBG:tsxv) Receives Preliminary Geophysical Maps From VTEM Plus Survey over Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project
King’s Bay Receives Preliminary Geophysical Maps From VTEM Plus Survey over Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project, Southern Labrador
King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver Canada is pleased to announce that through preliminary assessment, several electromagnetic anomalies have been located across the 382 line kilometer area of interest, using Geotech’s, helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) Geophysical Survey over King’s Bay’s 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} owned Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Project in southeastern Labrador.
Geotech has provided King’s Bay with preliminary geophysical maps outlining the VTEM data. From the information provided, King’s Bay was able to identify several potential geophysical anomalies, one of which is located in the CA Pit that yielded historic assays of up to 1.39{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cu, 0.94{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Co, 0.21{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Ni and 6.5g/t Ag. Geotech Ltd. has advised King’s Bay that it expects to have the full report prepared by the end of April. Deliverables include magnetic, electromagnetic, and chargeability components. Once the final data is received, it will allow King’s Bay’s technical team to continue to develop and interpret these anomalies.
The helicopter-borne Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic System (VTEM) has a penetration depth of over 800 m, with a low Base Frequency (30Hz) for penetration through conductive overburden cover, coupled with a 2-3 meters High Spatial Resolution. This system is able to delineate potential drill hole targets from the airborne results. In addition, it also has excellent resistivity discrimination to enable the detection of weak anomalies.
Lynx Lake Project
The Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Property consists of 959 mineral claims encompassing a land area of approximately 240 square kilometers, located 100 kilometers southeast of Happy Valley Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary handheld electromagnetic surveys done by local prospectors have shown strong conductors beneath the overburden, and provide incentive to explore the area further for additional subsurface mineralization. A 3 phase powerline that is under construction from Muskrat Falls and the Trans-Labrador Highway cross the northern part of the Property.
