The VTEM Plus survey will be flownvia helicopter later in June, and aims to identify discrete conductiveanomalies near surface
Coquitlam, BC – TheNewswire- May 24, 2022 - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV:CCW) (OTC:CCWOF) (Frankfurt:4T9B) (the"Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased toannounce it is planning an airborne VTEM Plus geophysical survey atits Lowney-Lac Edouard property south of the historical Lac EdouardNi-Cu-Co mine in Central Quebec.
The property is of particular interest to the technicalteam due to several important factors:
-
1) The significant regionalgravity anomaly that was identified by a previous airborne SGL survey(please see Figure 2).
-
2) The positive geologicalcontext, including a favorable lithological unit that appears tocorrelate with the gravity anomaly.
-
3) The sediment lake samples thatreturned elevated nickel and copper, which appears to also correlatewith the gravity anomaly (please see Figure 3).
-
4) The proximity to the old LacEdouard Ni-Cu-Co past producing mine.
The VTEM survey will be completed via helicopter byGeotech, is a global leader in technological innovation for airbornegeophysical survey mapping, interpretation and analysis. The Companyintends to identify near surface conductors which will help guide thefield work this summer. The VTEM survey and field work will helpprovide a better understanding of the area and hopefully lead to adrill program. In addition, the property is bordered by several otherlarge companies such as Rio Tinto Exploration Canada and BrunswickExploration Inc. (please see Figure 1).
“We believe that a VTEM survey will provide thenecessary information to better understand the property. Based on whatwe have so far, this property has great potential and fits within ourobjective to become an important supplier of battery metals materialto the EV market. The fact that we have big players surrounding usshows that we’re in the right location.” states Matt Halliday,P.Geo., President, COO and VP Exploration.

About Canada Silver Cobalt WorksInc.
Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. recently discovered amajor high-grade silver vein system at Castle East located 1.5 km fromits 100%-owned, past-producing Castle Mine near Gowganda in theprolific and world-class silver-cobalt mining district of NorthernOntario. The Company has completed a 60,000m drill program aimed atexpanding the size of the deposit with an update to the resourceestimate underway.
In May 2020, based on a small initial drill program,the Company published the region’s first 43-101 resource estimatethat contained a total of 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferredresources, comprising very high-grade silver (8,582 grams per tonneun-cut or 250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections(1A and 1B) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a verticaldepth of approximately 400 meters. Note that mineral resources thatare not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.Please refer to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Press Release May 28, 2020,for the resource estimate. Report reference: Rachidi, M. 2020, NI43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate for Castle East,Robinson Zone, Ontario, Canada, with an effective date of May 28,2020, and a signature date of July 13, 2020.
The Company also has: (1) 14 battery metals propertiesin Northern Quebec where it has recently completed a nearly10,000-metre drill program on the Graal property; and (2) theprospective 1,000-hectare Eby-Otto gold property close to AgnicoEagle’s high-grade Macassa Mine near Kirkland Lake, Ontario where itwill be exploring in 2022.
Canada Silver Cobalt’s flagship silver-cobalt Castlemine and 78 sq. km Castle Property feature strong exploration upsidefor silver, cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper. With underground accessat the fully owned Castle Mine, an exceptional high-grade silverdiscovery at Castle East, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravityconcentrates, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town ofCobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2Ox(for the creation of technical-grade cobalt sulphate as well asnickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations), Canada Silver Cobalt isstrategically positioned to become a Canadian leader in thesilver-cobalt space.
