Canada Silver Cobalt Completes Geophysical Airborne Survey, Plans Drill Program on Quebec EV Properties
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities in the Province of Québec. The Company has now secured 689 claims covering 38,129.4 hectares of prosperous ground with Figure 1 showing the location of the main properties. The Company has budgeted 2.2 million dollars of exploration for these properties this year. Geophysical airborne surveys completed, and drill program has been scheduled on the B2 property for the second quarter this year.
Highlights:
1) The Geophysical Airborne Survey
2) The CCW approach for nickel and copper properties
3) Historical highlights on the key properties for 2021
Canada Silver Cobalt contracted Sander Geophysics Limited to carry out geophysical airborne surveys on 5 properties in Quebec. The airborne surveys were aimed at measuring the Gravity and Magnetic field. The Company is seeking to identify the magmatic reservoir potentially hosting significant amounts of Nickel- and Copper-Sulphide masses at the base of the magmatic chamber. The priority target areas of these first airborne surveys are the following properties:
- Graal – Nourricier Lac Suzanne
- Lowney, Lac Edouard South-East
- Forgues East Manic Crater
- Fuchsia-Massif du Nord
- B15 Bouguer anomaly
The final reports are pending, and details will be disclosed once received and evaluated. This information will be used to prepare subsequent drill programs. Technical datasheets are being prepared for each of the properties and will be posted on the website once completed.
The Company has started preliminary geological sampling on the B2 & Grand Portage properties. The B2 property option has shown high-grade Copper in the discovery showing and a maiden drill program is expected to start by the second quarter to test the mineralized structure identified. Mineralization appears to be associated with a structural shear (Figure 2 shows sulphide mineralization from channel sample). The observations from the channel sampling indicated the property deserved additional work and a ground magnetic orientation survey was completed (Figure 3 shows the first vertical derivative ground magnetic survey with channel sample and high-grade sample (starred) locations identified). A total of 41 channel samples with 3 blanks and standards were sent to SGS Laboratory in Québec. The highest grade came from the gossan sample with 17.53% Copper, 0.245 % Nickel and 0.026 % Cobalt, while channel sample results range from 25 to 2887 ppm Copper, 11 to 3452 ppm Nickel, and 11 to 385ppm Cobalt.
At Grand Portage, geological sampling with a portable drill with 30-centimetre depth capability using (AQ) drill core has confirmed the presence of mineralization of interest at surface. Figure 4 shows sulphide mineralization in the 3.2-cm diameter core. The mineralization associated with mafic-ultramafic blobs deserves additional work. Five core samples with 1 standard were sent to AGAT laboratory in Ontario. The highest grade came from sample #10404 with 1.63% Nickel, 0.61% Copper and 0.068% Cobalt. Samples range from 0.02 to 0.61% Copper, from 0.05 to 1.63 % Nickel, from 0.011 to 0.06% Cobalt, from 1 to 7 g/t Silver, from 0.001 to 0.04 g/t Gold and from trace Palladium 0.002 to 0.007 g/t.
CEO Frank J. Basa, P.Eng. notes, “It is Canada Silver Cobalt’s intention to transfer its non-silver assets, in exchange for shares, to another public company to be identified by the Company, and to do a proportional distribution of shares by way of dividends to Canada Silver Cobalt’s shareholders.” Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., further comments, “This transaction will enhance shareholder value by offering exposure to two strong developing market forces with increased investor focus to the potential that the company sees with a pure precious metal play with the Robinson Zone from the former high-grade Castle Silver Mine area in Gowganda, Ontario and with the EV properties that have been recently acquired in Quebec and Ontario.”
The CCW approach in Québec for Nickel & Copper deposits
In 2020 the Company staked known showings and made option agreements to secure, as of today, a total of 689 claims covering 38,129.4 hectares of prospective Nickel and Copper mineralization. Of these, 27,738.6 hectares in 501 claims is 100%-owned by Canada Silver Cobalt and 36 Claims over 1981 hectares are under option with Globex Mining Enterprises (Lac Suzanne & Massif du Nord ) and another 152 Claims covering 8409.8 hectares with Frederic Bergeron (B2 property) .
The main drivers for determining primary targets in Québec, largely in the Grenville geological province, are the Bouguer Gravity anomalies combined with the presence of mineral showings, positive drilling results and positive geology. The secondary targets show associations with structural shear zones.
The mineralization model is the classic Martini Glass – Saint Graal shape (Figure 5). In the Magmatic Mineral Deposits image where disseminated and net-textured sulphides are on the sides of the magmatic reservoir and massive sulphides at the bottom of the glass as in the figure below (source: Earth Science Australia, earthsci.org).
GoldMinds was mandated to identify properties for CCW with the potential of having such a reservoir with a significant amount of hidden massive sulphides. The selected magmatic intrusions differ in size, however the largest and most extensive have a much higher chance to hide a significant massive sulphide deposit. In some places, an interesting relationship between the identified reservoir and high potential Nickel-Copper magmatic deposit and the presence of Biodiversity preserves was identified. As the selection of biodiversity preserves by Natural Resources Fauna & Parks, and the Ministry of Environment are independent of the Natural Resources development, Goldminds surmises the gravity, as well as mineral-rich basement, has enabled plant, insect, and mammal species biodiversity to develop better in these specific areas independently. As such, the Company’s Forgues East Manic Crater property in Mont-Groulx is outside of the ecologic preserves where the sweet spot with the most significant showing and Bouguer Gravity anomaly occurs. Our conceptual model suggests that the meteorite impact was north-northeast and has created the Mont-Groulx platform, substantiated by the presence of the Gravity anomaly combined with the Nickel-Copper showing. This is also observed in the Fushia/Massif du Nord where the center of the reservoir is covered by a restricted area. It is also important to consider the Bouguer anomaly geophysical survey. The Bouguer anomaly is a precise drill target method as the anomaly locates directly above the body of higher density.
The case study of the massive Kidd Creek mine deposit is a clear indication of this. Figure 6 (source: Abitibi Geophysics) shows the Vertical Bouguer VMS signature versus other techniques which offset the location of the body. The bigger the Bouger anomaly is, the bigger the deposit can be.
Highlight of the key properties
The Graal – Nourricier Lac Suzanne, Lowney (Lac Edouard), Fushia Massif du Nord and Forgues East Manic Crater properties are the most promising magmatic reservoirs identified as it stands today. The Company’s intention is to drill right on the maximum Bouguer Anomaly identified. Below are some highlights (mostly historical data retrieved from public reports and information on SIGEOM) on the main properties of interest where we are of the opinion that the results to date are only mineralization on the side of the magmatic reservoir and the Massive Sulphides are still hidden at depth.
GRAAL – Nourricier Lac Suzanne
This property, comprising 71 CCW claims over 3,947 Hectares and 23 optioned claims from Globex comprised of 3 distinct blocks totaling 1,276 hectares for a combined total of 5,223 hectares, is the most promising target. It is southeast of Lac à Paul Arianne Phosphate deposit. The property is located approximately 160 kilometers NNE of the city of Saguenay and 272 kilometers east of Chibougamau in NTS 22E15. The central and southern claim blocks are underlain by anorthosites, gabbros and troctolites pertaining to the anorthositic suite of Lac-St-Jean, whereas the northern block is underlain by tonalitic and trondhjemitic gneisses pertaining to the Rouvray gneissic Complex.
Previous work on the Lac Suzanne property was performed by Mines d’Or Virginia Inc. between 1997 and 2001. This work consisted of airborne geophysical surveys (magnetic and electromagnetic) followed by ground surveys (magnetic and electromagnetic – MaxMin) in order to more precisely locate the anomalies that were outlined by the airborne surveys. These surveys were followed by geological mapping, trenching, blasting, soil geochemical and rock sampling. The last exploration work done, within the limits of the present claims, consisted of diamond drilling, where 13 holes were drilled totaling 1,473 meters. The MaxMin survey delineated a good electromagnetic conductor over a strike length of over 6.5 kilometers which has only been sparsely explored, with up to 800 meters drill hole spacing or more and the deepest hole investigated at merely a 100 meters vertical depth. Knowing this, there remains a lot of ground to investigate more thoroughly.
The best results from the rock and drill core sampling returned grades of up to 10.31% Nickel, 4.9% Copper and 1% Cobalt from diamond drilling. The mineralization found on the Lac Suzanne property is of the magmatic massive sulphide type where sulphides are concentrated within a magmatic chamber. The Voisey’s Bay deposit in Labrador (141 million tonnes of ore grading 1.63% Nickel, 0.85% Copper and 0.09% Cobalt. Source of information (Current Research (2003) Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Geological Survey, Report 03-1, pages 231-239 – VOISEY’S BAY AND THE NICKEL POTENTIAL OF LABRADOR: A SUMMARY FOR THE NONSPECIALIST by A. Kerr.) is of this same type. The exploration work done on the Lac Suzanne thus far has barely scratched the surface. As exploration deepens, there is a good chance that richer grades might be encountered. There are many identified, near-surface mineralized zones which dip toward the Bouguer Anomaly sweet spot.
On the Nourricier portion, there is Nourricier A (97-01), A (97-c235), B (NB 97-01) B (NB97-02) sector. The hole collar NA-97-01 (GM 56023) locates the deposit. It is near the RT-97-C238 trench which revealed even higher grades. “Recognized intrusive breccias in the Feeder (Nourricier) Sector (A and B) with fragments of olivine containing droplets of sulphides indicating crystallization of olivines in a sulphide bath are strongly similar to mineralization at Voisey’s Bay”.
The host rock is gabbro or anorthosite injected with levels of pyrrhotite which give the rock an appearance of breccia. The mineralization consists of disseminated to massive pyrrhotite (max 70%) sometimes accompanied by chalcopyrite (1% or less) and garnet (35%, when the matrix is gabbro, at 45.5 m in the hole). Magmatic mineralization, dominant Nickel-Copper (± Cobalt ± PGE), is associated with anorthositic-troctolitic massifs.

To view the original U.S. government list, follow this link: https://www.usgs.gov/news/interior-releases-2018-s-final-list-35-minerals-deemed-critical-us-national-security-and. The following is a list of the 14 metals now known to be present in various concentrations at the Granada Gold Mine property’s new discovery on the Big Claim in the 588-meter GR-20-20 hole: arsenic, barite, cesium, cobalt, gallium, hafnium, magnesium, manganese, rubidium, scandium, strontium, tungsten, vanadium, and zirconium.
Both Companies will continue to work together on this initiative and will look at market demand fundamentals for the rare earth and alkali metal compounds prior to commencing bench scale testing.
CEO Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., commented that “We appear to have 40 percent of the metals deemed critical to the US national security – everything that is now coming into focus as being in short supply in the western world. These recent developments are extremely exciting given that the timing coincides with an awareness that many countries must play catch up quickly. Given the well-documented 2020 challenges in sourcing metals, this is resonating in a big way.”

Progress Update on Bench-Scale Pilot Plant Processing of Mineralized Material from the Cobalt Camp
COQUITLAM, BC, March 17, 2021 /CNW/ – Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to release preliminary bench-scale results on flotation tests on the Beaver Tailings being done at SGS Lakefield, Ontario, Canada.
Highlights
- First stage, flotation test rougher concentrate grades are 2,559 grams per tonne silver, 0.28 percent cobalt and 0.072 percent nickel.
- Concentration ratios for the first stage flotation test rougher concentrate are 23.5 for silver, 14 for cobalt, and 5.5 for nickel.
- Excellent preliminary, first stage flotation test rougher concentrate recoveries are 61 percent for silver, 43 percent for cobalt and 21 percent for nickel.
The bench-scale test work has yielded excellent results in producing a first concentrate for Re-2Ox processing into a direct end-product to EV battery manufacturing. The initial test work was undertaken on 50 kilograms of tailings from drill core samples of the Beaver Tailings. Further test work will be undertaken for optimization of grade and recoveries.
The overall test program is expected to take six months from bench-scale to pilot plant for the Stage I program. The program is designed to produce concentrates from hard rock mineralized material from the Castle Mine and from tailings from the Castle and Beaver mines, and to process spent Li-ion, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Hydride batteries using the Re-2Ox process. Upon completion of the Stage I program, an assessment will be undertaken on the direction the company will undertake for further testing and pilot plant studies.
Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., CEO, commented, “The core of the ability to meet EV battery manufacturers’ needs, is a metallurgical process that can treat primary feeds and secondary feeds equally well into final end-user products. As the company has already produced cobalt sulfate from hard rock mineralized primary feed from the Castle mine it is now working on using the Re-2Ox process on tailings from the Cobalt camp and secondary feeds from spent batteries into final end-user products.”
In addition to the process chemistry, the Company has designed a reactor that acts as an accumulator for low-metal concentrations in the various primary and secondary feeds to improve process economics.
Canada Silver Cobalt will use a purely hydrometallurgical approach by employing Re-2Ox for selective leaching to enhance process recovery of metals. The spent batteries will first be mechanically processed to recover the metal casing and plastics, followed by hydrometallurgical treatment to produce direct feed to the EV battery manufacturers. Canada Silver Cobalt Works will be the first in North America to use this one-step method.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Launches Re-2Ox Website Focused on Battery Recycling
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to announce a new website for the battery recycling initiative utilizing the proprietary, environmentally friendly hydrometallurgical process. The Re-2Ox process has already been successfully used in the development of a cobalt sulphate compound for end use in lithium-ion batteries. Now, the Company is seeking to use this process in the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries and other recyclables that contain metals of value.
Highlights
- Re-2Ox website is now on-line http://www.re-2ox.com/
- Potentially 90 percent of recyclable battery material will be available for processing with no known global recycling capacity availability
- Re-2Ox process is amenable to feedstock of used battery material which is now widely available
CEO Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., commented that “We strongly considered this initiative a few years ago but initial research turned up a lack of feedstock at that time, but this has now changed. With feedstock currently available and coupled with the Re-2Ox process, the path is clear for the Company to develop what can be a robust and ever-increasing potential income stream by providing future tolling services for the treatment of used batteries.”
The percentage of a Li-ion battery’s weight that comes from valuable cathode material is 30-40% with the value of the lithium-ion battery market projected to be upwards of $70 billion next year according to the International Energy Agency, US Department of Energy.
If current trends for handling these spent batteries do not change, the majority will end up in landfills despite the fact that Li-ion batteries can be recycled. These batteries contain valuable metals and other materials that can be recovered, processed, and re-used; however, little recycling goes on today. The opportunity is right in front of us as the world stands at the inception of a mega-trend or global shift away from carbon-producing transport to electrified transport. To date, the media focus has been on the front-end savings without addressing the back end which has to be recognized if green goals are to be fully realized. The Company sees this as a major opportunity that will grow for decades as these now-established mega-trends continue to accelerate, not just in North America but around the world.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Acquires 39,200 Hectares of EV Properties in Ontario and Quebec
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to announce the acquisition of 39,200 hectares of EV properties in Quebec and Ontario. It is Canada Silver Cobalt’s intention to transfer the properties, in exchange for shares, to another public company to be identified by the Company, in order to capitalize on the current EV market, and to distribute the shares by way of dividend to Canada Silver Cobalt’s shareholders.
These properties have a strong potential to host a variety of base metals including nickel, copper and cobalt. This strategic move is for structural organization purposes to add to our current cobalt mineralization discoveries in the Cobalt Camp and as an expedient approach to the increasing demand for EV battery input materials. Canada Silver Cobalt’s main focus will remain on its High-Grade silver discovery at the Robinson Zone with drill core silver grades of 89,000 grams per tonne (January 29, 2021 CCW Press release).

4,468 ha |
These properties have been acquired and/or staked. All the properties have surface showings that have been sampled or have massive gravity anomalies. The Lowney Lac Edouard South property in Quebec is adjacent to Rio Tinto Mines property. The Ontario properties are within 25 kilometers of the Sudbury basin where Glencore and Vale have multiple mines and smelters which have been in operation for over 100 years to recover nickel, copper and cobalt metals. The Company will continue to search for additional assets and property acquisitions in the vast areas of Northern Quebec and near the Sudbury nickel basin, so-called because of the massive deposits previously, and recently, discovered in these regions, one of the best areas in the world for nickel, copper, and cobalt discoveries.
With the race for the discovery of large new deposits of key metals from safe jurisdictions accelerating, prices are reacting with the price of some EV metals such as nickel, copper and cobalt, having been dormant for some time, already moving up over 30% in 2021. North American governments at all levels are becoming increasingly involved, supporting companies seeking to supply input metals for EV batteries as the push for a green economy continues unabated. Major geo-political forces have recently done a 180 and are now going all-in on green initiatives and related technologies. What we are seeing today is consistent with previous announcements like the joint American-Canadian Federal Governments’ press release from just over one year ago. On January 9, 2020, the American and Canadian governments announced the finalization of a joint action plan on critical metals which stated, “This Action Plan will promote joint initiatives, including research and development cooperation, supply chain modelling and increased support for industry.”
CEO Frank J. Basa P.Eng. notes, “Timing has never been better, which is why we are moving ahead with these acquisitions that will facilitate strategic positioning for the Company to take full advantage of rapidly evolving market conditions for EV battery base metal inputs. The idea is to best position the Company to take full advantage of synergies, government policy and financial supports as the urgent search for massive deposits of metals needed to fulfill stated green objectives accelerates.”
Canada Silver Cobalt cannot give any assurances regarding a potential transfer of the Quebec and Ontario properties to another public company in exchange for shares, the terms and conditions of any such transfer, the distribution of such shares to the Company’s shareholders by way of dividend, whether TSX Venture Exchange or other stock exchange or regulatory approval will be obtained for such transfer or distribution, to the extent required, or the timing of any of the foregoing.

Downhole Geophysics Completed on Visually High-Grade Silver Vein Intersected at Robinson Zone
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTCQB: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to announce the completion of a hole-to-hole IP study earlier this month. The study was conducted on the newly discovered, visually high-grade silver vein intersected in hole CS-20-39.
Highlights
- Down hole Geophysics was conducted from January 4th -12th 2021.
- The holes used for the hole-to-hole pairing contained zones of cobalt and silver veining.
- Encouraging results delineated a good response over the 17m mineralized zone.
This study produced testable results that are being investigated by wedge drilling that is now underway. The team is working closely with the geophysicists to interpret results from the initial wedging while a more comprehensive action plan is being developed to delineate new targets in areas where we have already qualified the need for enhanced resolution of existing veins. This initiative will also open up new ground.
A larger geophysical project is also in development that will utilize the Distributed Array System, “DasVision” which will incorporate a bigger geographic area. It is anticipated the study will lead to injecting current in both boreholes and at surface in order to provide better resolution at depth.
Matt Halliday, President commented, “The Company is taking full advantage of new geophysical techniques while maximizing the utility of existing technologies. As the technical team continues to advance and better understand this deposit model, we will have a comprehensive toolbox to facilitate the generation of the best possible targets. New IP techniques will be part of this toolbox that will also include advanced cameras, structural technology including oriented core and directional drilling, and various geochemistry techniques.”
Location
The Castle Property is 15 km east of Pan American Silver’s Juby gold deposit, 30 km due south of Alamos Gold’s Young-Davidson mine, 75 km southwest of Kirkland Lake Gold’s Macassa Complex, and 100 km southeast of new gold discoveries in the Timmins West area.

Canada Silver Cobalt Hits New High-Grade Silver Vein – Fifth New High-Grade Intersection at Robinson Zone
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the “Company” or “Canada Silver Cobalt”) is pleased to announce the intersection of a new, additional, high-grade silver vein within 60 metres of the Robinson Zone Discovery hole CA-1108. The Robinson Zone Project is 100-percent owned by the Company, in the 78-square-kilometre Castle Silver Mine property, in Gowganda, Ontario, Canada.
Highlights and updates:
- Visually, mineralization in the new vein rivals the discovery intersection of hole CA-11-08 (40,944 g/t silver (1,194 oz/ton) over a core length of 0.45 meters (refer to Gold Bullion Development news release August 25, 2011), and to additional intervals in hole CS-20-08W1 and CS-20-08W2 of 50,583.29 g/t ( 1,476 oz/ton) silver over 0.60 meters within 1.5 meters of 20,741 g/t (605 oz/ton) silver and 70,380 g/t (2,053 oz/ton) silver over 0.30 meters within a broader zone of 1.4 meters grading 20,136 g/t (587 oz/ton) silver respectively (Canada Silver Cobalt press releases Dec 23, 2019 and Jan 10, 2020).
- The 18,000 metres drilled in the current 50,000-metre program, represents only 36 percent of this phase of drilling. A total of 28 holes are completed, including 8 wedge holes.
- This new intersection is 53 metres laterally east-southeast and 25 metres vertically above the original discovery hole (CA-11-08) and further expands the potential high-grade mineralization target area. This new, high-grade mineralized intercept is approximately 80 metres below the upper contact of the diabase sill which, in the Gowganda Camp, typically hosts the majority of the silver mined historically.
With 4 strongly mineralized veins identified and this additional new, high-grade vein, the potential of the Robinson Zone has significantly increased. Follow-up drilling is planned to expand the existing resource panels reported in a Press Release May 28, 2020. In that release, a maiden resource estimate identified zones 1A and 1B of the Robinson Zone to have an average silver grade of 8,582 g/t (250 oz/ton) in a combined 27,400 tonnes of material for a total of 7.56 million Inferred ounces of silver using a cut-off grade of 258 g/t AgEq (mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability).
The new high-grade intersection is an entirely new vein. The intersection is located a mere 60 metres from the discovery intersection of hole CA-11-08 and is located approximately 2 km southeast of the Castle No. 3 mine, and within 2 km of two other past producers.
Notably, Hole CS-20-39 also intersected a 17-metre zone (downhole, from 502 to 519 m) with several narrow veins mineralized with both silver and cobalt-arsenides. Assays are pending for hole CS-20-39.
This new vein and the design of the current drill program offers an excellent opportunity to conduct valuable downhole geophysics and based on the results of a pilot program, we will have a roadmap to focus more effectively on some of the targets we have identified at the Robinson zone.
Matt Halliday, P.Geo., President, commented: “We are very pleased to be disclosing this new vein discovery. This is the type of stellar mineralization we are looking for and to find it so close to the original Robinson vein is very encouraging. We continue to record sound geological information with the aim of strengthening our model and finding more mineralization like this on the existing structures and to search out new ones”.
Location
The Castle Property is 15 km east of Pan American Silver’s Juby gold deposit, 30 km due south of Alamos Gold’s Young-Davidson mine, 75 km southwest of Kirkland Lake Gold’s Macassa Complex, and 100 km southeast of new gold discoveries in the Timmins West area.

About Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc.
Canada Silver Cobalt Works released the first-ever resource in the Gowganda Camp and greater Cobalt Camp in May 2020. A total of 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferred resources comprising very high-grade silver (8,582 grams per tonne un-cut or 250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B) of the Robinson Zone beginning at a vertical depth of approximately 400 meters. The discovery remains open in all directions (1A and 1B are approximately 800 meters from the east-trending Capitol Mine workings) (mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability) (refer to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Press Release May 28, 2020).
Canada Silver Cobalt’s flagship Castle mine and 78 sq. km Castle Property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold and copper in the prolific, past-producing Gowganda high-grade Silver District of Northern Ontario. With underground access at Castle, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity concentrates on site, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town of Cobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2OX for the creation of technical grade cobalt sulphate as well as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations, Canada Silver Cobalt is strategically positioned to become a Canadian leader in the silver-cobalt space.
