Colbalt studies to be undertaken.This is a very encouraging step for DBG, it should allow them to increase the value of the HAT rsource estimate significantly, does anyone know how long this will take....?

DOUBLEVIEW BEGINS COBALT RECOVERY STUDIES OF THE HAT DEPOSIT
Doubleview Gold Corp. has engaged Coffey -- a Tetra Tech company -- to carry out metallurgical extraction characterization studies of the Hat gold-rich copper porphyry project with the preliminary focus on cobalt. The initial objective is the metallurgical characterization of the Hat drill core samples to evaluate the potential for cobalt recovery. The testwork program will be led by EUR ING Andrew Carter BSc, CEng, MIMMM, MSAIMM, SME, technical director of Coffey.
An initial technical review indicated that it should be possible to recover a high cobalt pyrite concentrate from a copper cleaning circuit.
Confirmation of the recoverability of cobalt will permit inclusion of cobalt values in the calculation of the gold or copper equivalent grade for the Hat project.
Samples have been taken for preliminary batch flotation testwork, which will be undertaken by Met-Solve Laboratories Inc. of Langley, B.C.
Mr. Carter is Doubleview's qualified person with respect to the Hat project metallurgical studies as defined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. He has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release. He is independent of Doubleview.
Coffey and Tetra Tech provide metallurgical consulting services to the battery and technologies metals sectors including copper, cobalt, nickel, manganese, vanadium, lithium and graphite.
The company would like to announce that it has shut down the drilling for the holiday break. The drill site has been set up for the next hole and the assay results for recently completed drill holes will be published as soon as received and verified for quality assurance and technical information. Commencement of the drilling in 2021 will be announced accordingly.
