King’s Bay (KBG:tsxv) Substantially Increases Lynx Lake Cu-Co Land Package in Labrador
King’s Bay Substantially Increases Lynx Lake Cu-Co Land Package in Labrador
– Momentum Public Relations –
Press Release: January 17, 2017
King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver, is pleased to announce that, as a result of preliminary data compilation, the company has decided to increase the Lynx Lake Copper/Cobalt property in Labrador area from its original size of 20 square kilometers to approximately 240 square kilometers.
King’s Bay believes that, in order to adequately cover the geological structures and geophysical signatures of interest, the property must be extended to the south west.
The upcoming airborne electromagnetic survey will be strategically placed within the new land area in order to explain some of the surface electromagnetic anomalies that have been discovered during surficial reconnaissance.
Kevin Bottomley states “The increase in our land holdings by over 10 times shows a strong commitment to better understanding what type of mineralized system we may be dealing with in a more regional sense”.
King’s Bay has filed a NI 43-101 technical report on the Lynx Lake Copper/Cobalt property on SEDAR. To download the full report, please click the link below.
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 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.

2017 PREVIEW – LORD COPPER: Electric vehicle sector could be the driving force for metals commodities
Electric vehicle sector could be the driving force for metals commodities
Metals – or commodities generally – are no longer the pariah class, as funds once again dip their toes into the pool, Lord Copper asserts as he looks to the year ahead with cautious optimism.
2016 finished on a quietly positive note. Through the second part of last year, we saw metal prices stage a rally (of sorts: not, I concede, what we became used to during the boom period that now lives only in the memories and bank accounts of those who were there at the time, but a rally nonetheless), which has served to give a boost to the confidence of commodity investors.
Cyclicality has had a part to play here: nothing goes in one direction for ever and things that were out of fashion come back into focus as part of the natural order of the world. But that’s not all. As I suggested would be the case at the beginning of the year, selected mining equities have indeed pointed the way, with that sector of the FTSE powering the index to its new record high. (Incidentally, I noted a couple of weeks ago that Danny Fortson, in the Sunday Times, rated Rio Tinto a definite sell on the back of its (well-publicised) problems. I’m not an analyst, so my views are strictly those of a slightly educated outsider, but I’d still put that company among the best of the bunch, given where it sits on the cost curve in the majority of its products. I certainly wouldn’t dream of giving advice, but neither would I sell Rio from my portfolio.)
So what are we really looking at? The major influence – both up and down – in recent times has been China; this time, though, I’m not sure that it is as central as we have come to expect. Certainly, we all correctly and keenly watch that economy for signs good or bad, but at the moment the signals seem a bit fuzzy. The property market remains a problem, but on the other hand the government is projecting stimulus which should aid the commodity markets. But there is still overcapacity, and where does it go? All the aluminium can’t end up in the Mexican desert; and what does the Trump ascendancy presage for trade relations between the world’s two largest economies? Looked at coldly, unfortunately I can’t see a clear signal of a consistent China once again driving the commodity freight train.
My optimism comes from a slightly different direction, and one where we have to be very cautious, as this is more commodity-selective than China’s overall appetite. As often in the past, technological development holds a key position for the market. One of the hottest topics in scientific research right now is the work being done on the storage of electricity – in other words, better, smaller and cheaper batteries. This is being driven principally – but not exclusively – by the increase in demand for electric vehicles. The beneficiaries of this demand will be lithium (obviously), cobalt and nickel – as the cathode and anode – and also copper, not directly for use in batteries, but because an electric vehicle uses something like four times the copper of a conventional one. And, of course, one should also bear in mind the increased copper usage that will come through the continuing development of charging networks.
One of many charging points for Tesla electric vehicles
For an idea of how that will roll out, look at the growth in the network of petrol stations in the first part of the 20th century. (As an aside – for those who are interested – have a look on catch-up TV for the 2016 Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, where Saiful Islam, a chemistry professor from the University of Bath, is talking precisely about this issue of power generation and storage; it’s interesting stuff.)
So, I’m not a scientist, but I can see the way the world is going, and it’s towards an environment where the renewable generation of electricity and its storage will become of increasing importance. Lithium is a clear beneficiary; right now, you would bet on nickel and cobalt, but beware – battery technology may change to use other metals…. And copper, still the most effective means of power transmission, looks very secure.
I don’t expect a boom again, but a selective investment in metals could be the right way to go in 2017.

King’s Bay Receives Permit Approval For Lynx Lake Cu, Co Project in Labrador
King’s Bay Receives Permit Approval For Lynx Lake Cu, Co Project in Labrador
– Momentum Public Relations –
Press Release: January 11, 2017
King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver, announces approval from Newfoundland and Labrador Government, Department of Natural Resources for the commencement of an electromagnetic survey in south eastern Labrador.
The focus of the airborne survey is to locate high priority drill targets for its 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} owned Lynx Lake Copper, Cobalt project located 100km south east of Happy Valley‐Goose Bay, Labrador.
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 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.
Company President Kevin Bottomley states “The granting of our permit is an important first step in the exploration process for King’s Bay. Our goal is to get working on all aspects of our Lynx Lake Copper / Cobalt property as soon as possible. The successful completion of our financing on January 3rd was a key component of that goal”.
King’s Bay will begin to prepare proposed flight line orientation and spacing for the upcoming drilling program and has begun to evaluate quotes from potential vendors.
About Cobalt
At this time, the price of cobalt is rising due to a combination of factors. Some of these factors are related to unsettled conditions in areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the majority of the world’s cobalt is recovered. Other factors include an increased demand for rechargeable batteries. A single rechargeable ion car battery contains as much as 20 kilograms of cobalt. In addition to batteries, cobalt is used in alloys for aircraft engine parts and for alloys with corrosion/wear resistant uses. Cobalt also has many medical uses; cobalt isotopes are used to produce stable dichromatic beams in “cobalt therapy”, which is used to treat cancer. Molybdenum is also an important element of interest and can be used in fertilizer as well as battery electrodes.
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.

King’s Bay to Acquire 100 Interest in Lynx Lake Copper-Cobalt Property in Labrador
Surface samples show significant concentration of cobalt, an important element in rechargeable batteries
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, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} interest in a cobalt property located in southern Labrador.
The Property
The project consists of 66 mineral claims encompassing approximately 20 square kilometers, located 100km southeast of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador. Prior to 2008, the area was deemed remote and remained virtually unexplored even after interest in Labrador grew due to the discovery of Voisey’s Bay Ni-Cu-Co mine. Thanks to the construction of the new Trans-Labrador Highway that runs through the property, the area is now easily accessible.
In 2008, areas of disseminated and massive sulphide were discovered in bedrock after blasting by the Department of Transportation for road aggregate. In 2009, sampling and assaying of grab samples from the aggregate quarry by local prospectors produced assays of up to 1.39{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} copper, 0.94{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} cobalt, 0.21{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} nickel and 6.5 g/t silver. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary EM-16 (hand held geophysical unit) surveys done by local prospectors in 2014 show strong conductors beneath the overburden and provide incentive to explore the area further for more surface and sub surface mineralization.
The initial samples taken in the eastern portion of the property were followed in 2015 by surface grab sampling in the western side of the property. These new results were equally as promising yielding 1.03{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Copper, 0.566{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Cobalt, 0.1{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Nickel, 5.0 g/t silver, 0.36{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Chromium, 0.39{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Molybdenum and 0.23{92d3d6fd85a76c012ea375328005e518e768e12ace6b1722b71965c2a02ea7ce} Vanadium. These values should not be relied upon as a representation of the whole area. The property has never been drilled and the amalgamation of these results suggests the possibility for a larger body of mineralization in the area.
In the addition to excellent road accessibility to deep sea water ports and the proximity to the town of Happy Valley-Goose Bay, the property offers the ability to easily obtain electricity from a 3 phase power line that runs directly adjacent to the property.
With energy metal prices on the rise, King’s Bay feels that it is a great time to explore this property.
Geology
The property is situated in the Grenville Province and is Proterozoic in age. It is separated by a north easterly trending fault. The western portion of the property is underlain by granite, granodiorite and gneiss that varies texturally from weakly foliated to well banded. The eastern portion of the property is underlain by granite, amphibolite with massive gabbro, norite and troctolite units. Detailed bedrock mapping will help better define the local geology of the area.
Exploration
The property is workable year round and King’s Bay has already deployed a team for a preliminary surface sampling program on the existing pits, as well as a reconnaissance program and an EM-16 survey on the surrounding land package to possibly locate more undiscovered exposure and conductors. During the winter, the preliminary program will be followed by data compilation and initiation of an airborne geophysical survey to locate high priority drill targets. Extensive exploration is required to confirm the above preliminary results, as they do not conform to the NI 43-101 rules and regulations.
About Cobalt
At this time, the price of cobalt is rising due to a combination of factors. Some of these factors are related to unsettled conditions in areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the majority of the world’s cobalt is recovered. Other factors include an increased demand for rechargeable batteries. A single rechargeable ion car battery contains as much as 20 kilograms of cobalt. In addition to batteries, cobalt is used in alloys for aircraft engine parts and for alloys with corrosion/wear resistant uses. Cobalt also has many medical uses; cobalt isotopes are used to produce stable dichromatic beams in “cobalt therapy”, which is used to treat cancer. Molybdenum is also an important element of interest and can be used in fertilizer as well as battery electrodes.
Consideration
The purchase price of the property is in cash and stock subject to TSX-Venture Exchange approval. The cash price to the vendor is $100,000, in payments of $10,000 upon the acceptance of the agreement, and $30,000 on each of the subsequent three anniversaries of the agreement. As well, King’s Bay will provide the vendor with 900,000 common shares of its stock, 200,000 shares upon exchange approval, followed by 300,000 on the first year and 400,000 more on the second year of the agreement.
