VANCOUVER, Sept. 13, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc. (the "Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to announce that Phase 2 of its drill program on the Smith Cobalt property is underway. Drilling services are, once again, being provided by G4 Drilling of Val d'Or, Quebec.
Phase 2 Drill Program Highlights:
- The campaign will comprise a minimum of 2000 meters – 10 to 15 drill holes.
- Initial focus will be on evaluating the newly discovered mineralized zone - an outcrop containing five exposed, individual vein swarms that display at least three different orientations (see news release dated July 17, 2017).
- Drilling will also continue along the historical Smith Cobalt shaft trend, following up on results of the Phase 1 drill program, with the intention of extending the known mineralized veins.
"Our company continues to lead in the exploration for silver and cobalt in the Cobalt Camp of Ontario," comments Dr. Andreas Rompel, President & CEO. "Phase 2 results will help us determine the mineral content and strike extent of the veins in the recently discovered Smith Cobalt East Zone as well as along the historical Smith Cobalt shaft trend."
Assay results have been delivered to the Company by SGS Canada for approximately two thirds of the samples taken from the Phase 1 drill program. Quality Assurance/Quality Control review is underway by the Company's Qualified Person. Final results will be released when all assays have been received and reviewed.
Cobalt Power also announces that it has staked 3 claims (13 units) in the southwestern corner of the Lorraine township of Ontario, totaling 514 acres (208 ha). The claims are immediately to the west of the historic Goodwin Lake shaft.
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.
