21.08.2017  |  CNW

/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR OVER UNITED STATES NEWSWIRES./

TSX.V:CPO

VANCOUVER, Aug. 21, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc. ("CPO") (TSX.V: CPO) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter agreement with Hochschild Mining Holdings Limited ("Hochschild") to establish an alliance pursuant to which Hochschild will initially invest the sum of USD$500,000 in CPO.  This investment will be through a private placement subscription for units of CPO.  In conjunction with the subscription Hochschild will receive additional rights including (1) the right to one director on the Board of CPO; (2) the right to option and joint venture one of CPO's properties with the property to be selected in the two years following the initial investment by Hochschild, and at Hochschild's sole discretion to determine; and (3) an annual right to top-up to its percentage interest in CPO.

Hochschild will subscribe for 4,886,538 units of CPO at a price of CDN$0.13 per unit.  The USD$500,000 subscription amount will be converted into CDN funds at a conversion rate of USD$1.00 = CDN$1.2705 which equals CDN$635,250.  Each unit  will consist of one common share and one half of one non-transferrable share purchase warrant, with each one warrant being exercisable to purchase one additional common share of CPO over a period of two years from closing at a price of CDN$0.30 per share.

The proceeds of the private placement will be used by CPO to expand its existing portfolio of properties and to further explore and develop its mineral property interests and for general working capital.

At the closing of the private placement, Hochschild will be appointing a director to the Board of CPO.  As such, CPO has agreed that for as long as Hochschild holds a minimum of 5% of the issued and outstanding shares of CPO, Hochschild will be entitled to one director, and management of CPO will include Hochschild's nominee on management's proposed slate of Directors to stand for re-election to the Board of CPO at each Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of CPO.

The right granted to Hochschild to option and joint venture one of CPO's properties provides that Hochschild may select in its sole discretion a project held and being explored and developed by CPO for joint participation.  If a project is selected for participation over the next 24 month period, Hochschild will reimburse CPO for 20% of CPO's cost of exploring and developing the selected project and credit CPO for the remaining 80% of expenditures towards a joint venture participating credit.  Thereafter, Hochschild will be entitled to earn a 60% interest in and to the selected project by making work expenditures of CDN$6,000,000 over a four year period.  Once the 60% interest has been earned, Hochschild and CPO will jointly contribute to the joint venture work expenditures.  Full terms will be set out in a joint venture agreement that will be subsequently negotiated and that CPO and Hochschild have agreed will include these key terms.

Annually, Hochschild will be able to top up its shareholding interest in CPO in order to maintain its percentage interest in the issued and outstanding share capital of CPO.  The top up is optional and would be exercised through further private placements to be made at the 20 day volume weighted average market price of CPO's common shares as traded on the TSX Venture Exchange subject to the application of the minimum pricing policies of the TSX Venture Exchange. 

The terms of the private placement and incidental rights granted to Hochschild are subject to prior TSX Venture Exchange approval. The common shares and warrants to be issued will all be subject to a four-month statutory hold period. Closing of the Offering remains subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory and TSXV approvals.

"We are delighted to become associated with a reputable mining house like Hochschild and welcome them as our strategic partner in Cobalt, Ontario," Dr. Andreas Rompel, President & CEO, commented. "Hochschild's extensive experience in mining and treatment of steeply dipping, narrow epithermal veins will be of paramount importance in the development of the Smith Cobalt project and adjoining lands."
