Primary Cobalt Corp. and Exco Mining (Spain) Announce Results of Grab Samples from Past Producing Projects
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Primary Cobalt Corp. (CSE – Prim) ("Primary" or the "Company") is please to announce the results of grab samples taken during May 2018 due diligence site visits. The samples were taken from the Cobalt, Copper, Silver, Lead, Nickel and Manganese projects, inside one of the galleries on its Buran permit permits in Almeria and from the waste dumps of old cobalt mines located within the Beatriz permit in Granada province in southern Spain.
Daniel Porras, Dipl.-Geol, member European Federation of Geologists (“EFG”) who is a Qualified Person as defined under National Instrument 43-101, supervised the collection of the samples (Buran Sample). The samples were submitted to ALS Minerals in Seville, Spain for analysis. The samples were crushed, split, a portion was pulverized and a one-gram aliquot analyzed by ALS Chemex method ME-MS61 (48 elements, including Si, Cu, Pb, four-acid ICP-MS). Some relevant results among others are summarized in the table below, in grey colour the anomalous values:

Historic Highlights
- The mineralization is enriched in several elements (Co-Ni-Ag-Se-As-Hg) that entry into the category of RSE (redox-sensitive elements). The mineralization is stratified with high TOC dolomites affected by thrusts, a Mississippy Valley-type origin can be extrapolated for this deposit, with the origin of the metals in the washing of marine series or from the mafic intercalations into the series, with the carbonate/dolomite formations as a “reducing trap” for mineralization.
- The concentrations of primary cobalt minerals are important and with further exploration to determine to their regional extension. This type of deposit can be very widespread in Betica, and could also concentrate elements of the platinum group. It is quite similar to the D.R.C. mineralizations.

Pat Morris, President of Primary, said, “The analytical results from this sampling program will assist us in identifying potential target areas for core drilling during our exploration program. The unexpected high contents in other important elements are very encouraging and speak to the potential upside in our search for these critical energy metals.”
