27.03.2018  |  GlobeNewswire

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- International Cobalt Corp. (CSE:CO) (the “Company” or “International Cobalt”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to acquire a 100% interest in the Ramsay Cobalt Project (“the RC Project”).

Source SLAM explorations news release dated January 9, 2018


In order to acquire a 100% interest in the RC Project International Cobalt has agreed to cash payments totaling five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) and to issue two million five hundred thousand shares (2,500,000) over a twenty-four (24) month period. The RC project is subject to a 2% NSR in favor of the vendor of which one half may be purchased by International Cobalt for one million dollars ($1,000,000).

ABOUT THE RAMSAY COBALT PROJECT

The RC Project, totaling approximately 8,007 hectares, is located in the Bathurst Mining Camp (“BMC”) of New Brunswick. This world-class mining camp boasts approximately 46 volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) mineral deposits with defined tonnage and another hundred mineral occurrences. The RC Project is approximately 25 km west of the producing Caribou zinc-lead-silver-copper-gold mine operated by Trevali Mining Corp. Its close proximity to a nearby highway and power that supports other current mining activity, makes New Brunswick known to be a mining friendly jurisdiction. (see figure below for location)

Previous operators identified Cobalt and Copper mineralization over a 650m strike length through trenching, geochemical surveys, ground-based geophysics and a limited drilling program totaling 1,321 meters. The mineralized zone remains open along strike and at depth. The RC Project also includes other early-stage cobalt targets.

Nine holes were drilled on the Ramsay cobalt property by previous workers in 2004. Reported results include: 0.8 metres grading 0.956% cobalt within a 4.8 metres grading 0.352% cobalt (Hole M04-04). Such higher-grade zones typically occur within wider core intervals ranging to 24.8 m grading 0.180% cobalt and 0.182% copper. Significant core intervals from all nine holes are summarized in the table

ABOUT THE COBALT MARKET

Cobalt prices recently reached a 10 year high of $37.88 US per pound and have shown a steady increase since the mid-point of 2015. Cobalt is an important component of many of the lithium-ion batteries used in a wide range of applications from cell phones to electric vehicles (EV) and the home energy storage market. Driven primarily by the EV market demand for cobalt is expected to remain strong and growing for the near future. Currently over 60% of the global supply of cobalt is sourced from mines operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Political instability in the DRC coupled with social-economic issues surrounding mining in the country including reports of child labour have led many tech companies to seek supplies of the metal from more stable jurisdictions.
