-Inaugural field sampling/mapping work program planned for late-Q2/early-Q3 2017, funded by Clean Commodities.

"The Manitou Cobalt-Nickel-PGE project is an advanced exploration project which has attracted considerable technical interest within our industry. We are pleased to be working with Canadian International to move this high-impact nickel-cobalt exploration project forward during 2017," commented Ryan Kalt, Chief Executive Officer of Clean Commodities Corp.
About the Manitou Cobalt-Nickel-PGE Project:
The Manitou Cobalt-Nickel-PGE Project is located in Quebec, Canada and consists of two sub-project areas, Manitou and Return Lake. The Manitou project area encompasses one claim block totaling 2,174 ha and the Return Lake project area encompasses four claim blocks totaling 1,577 ha (see Figure 1).
At Manitou, initial priority will be assigned to four target areas identified by way of past work by Kaminak, referenced as the NE1, NE2, NE3 and NE7 targets, including enhancement of our confidence in the proposed drill targets and collar locations.
At Return Lake, initial interest is the examination of a large-scale EM anomaly defined by Kaminak and referenced as the C1 target (see Figure 2). The target coincides with an olivine-showing cross-referenced to government data in the central portion of the anomaly which may correlate to a mafic/ultramafic intrusion.
