VANCOUVER, May 03, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc. (the "Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to announce signing an option to purchase a strategic mining claim (#L4284361) located in the Larder Lake mining division in the Lorrain Township, Ontario. The property is located immediately to the east of several historic mine shafts and is contiguous with the southwest section of the Company's Smith Cobalt project. This acquisition brings the Company's total land package in the Cobalt region to 863.6 hectares (2134 acres).
The option requires a payment of $1,000 CDN and an allotment of 200,000 fully paid, non-assessable common shares of Cobalt Power Group, to be issued at a deemed price of $0.12 per common share, upon TSX Venture approval.
Additionally, the Company announces that it has had 3,877,500 warrants exercised from March 01, 2017, to May 01, 2017, with total proceeds of $291,937.50 CDN.
"We are encouraged these warrants were exercised, bringing additional working capital into Cobalt Power. This shows commitment and support from our shareholders and reflects their confidence in the Company's assets, management team, and the cobalt sector in general," comments Jevin Werbes, Chairman of the Board. "Also, with the next phase of exploration beginning this month, we are excited to be the first company to start drilling in the Cobalt, Ontario region this year."
About the Smith Cobalt Project
The Smith Cobalt project is underlain by a sequence of Archaean volcanics which are unconformably overlain by Huronian sediments. These formations have been intruded by the Proterozoic-age Nipissing diabase sill. Faulting, on both a regional and local scale, has been found by surface mapping and in drill cores. Polymetallic veining, and especially pinkish-white carbonate veins, has also been reported. Thus, all the necessary geological components of accepted mineralization models for cobalt-silver have been identified on the properties.
