Primary Cobalt Corp. Initiates Field Program on Its RD Cobalt Property and Begins Permitting for Autumn Drill Program
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Primary Cobalt Corp. (the “Company” or “Primary Cobalt”) (CSE: PRIM) is pleased to announce that field crews will be mobilizing to its RD Cobalt Property within the next several days. The Property is located within northwest British Columbia near the community of Hazelton, and has excellent infrastructure, including proximity to major highways, rail, and power.
Field crews from Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. will mobilize to site for an approximately 14 day exploration program that will focus on detailed mapping and sampling of the Golden Wonder Showing on the RD Property, which returned promising results from the 2017 exploration program (results summarized below). The objective of the field program will be to further assess mineralization previously identified in the area and collect sufficient information for drill program scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2018. Permitting for the drill program is underway.
An initial ground program was completed in 2017, with much of the work focusing on the Golden Wonder Showing. Ninety-five (95) rock samples and 19 stream pan concentrate samples were collected from the Property to confirm historic assays and guide in development of potential exploration targets (see figure below). Sample highlights of from the Golden Wonder area included anomalous Au, Cu, Co across > 400 m strike length, as follows:
- 122365: 15.20 g/t Au, 77.20 g/t Ag, 0.09% Co, 4.95% Cu, massive sulfide
- 122368: 17.80 g/t Au, mudstone, rusty
- 122427: 8.75 g/t Au, 0.53% Co, 0.53% Cu (siltstone float)
- 122428: 1.69 g/t Au, 0.05% Co, 0.55% Cu (siltstone)
The high grades of Au, Cu and Co and style of mineralization observed at Golden Wonder are suggestive of a Besshi Type massive sulfide occurrence similar to the Windy Craggy Deposit in northwestern, British Columbia. Management cautions that past results or comparison to similar properties (i.e. Windy Craggy) may not necessarily be indicative to the presence of mineralization on the Company’s properties (i.e. RD Cobalt).
RD COBALT PROPERTY
The RD Cobalt Property comprises five contiguous mineral claims that cover an area of approximately 7,327 ha. The Property is approximately 1 km south of the Yellowhead Highway, a major interprovincial highway in western Canada. The west end of the Property (the Golden Wonder area) can be reached by a gravel road that links to Highway 16 southwest of Sealey Lake Provincial Park. ATV trails run west from this road north (for ~1,400 m) and south (for ~1100 m) of Denys Lake. The northern section of the Property (West’s Knoll, Daley West areas) is mostly accessible from Highway 16 by ATV along trails or by foot.

The Property encompasses several historic Copper, Gold and Cobalt mineral showings, including Golden Wonder, Daley West, Hecla, Black Prince, Blue Lake, and Silvertip Glacier. The Golden Wonder Showing has received the most attention historically, with exploration work recorded as early as 1912.
The exploration target is a Besshi Type Massive Sulfide occurrence similar to the Windy Craggy Deposit in northwest B.C., which remains one of the largest undeveloped Cu, Au, Co deposits worldwide.
