Saskatoon, SK / TheNewswire / April 6, 2017 - Canadian Platinum Corp. ("CPC" or the "Company"-TSXV:CPC) provides the following corporate update related to its portfolio of mineral exploration projects (see the news release dated April 5th, 2017 for an update on the Peter Lake Project):
Cook Gold Project, Nevada
Further to the news release dated January 9th, 2017, the Company reports that the TSX Venture Exchange has provided conditional acceptance of the acquisition, by CPC, of a 70% interest in the Cook Gold Project in Humboldt County, Nevada. Final approval is conditional on receiving disinterested shareholder approval of the transaction and the creation of a new control person, and providing certain other documentation related to historical expenditures. Further announcements will be made in due course.
Copper Hill Gold/Porphyry CopperProject, Nevada
The agreement to acquire the Copper Hill gold/porphyry copper project near Searchlight, Nevada (see news release dated June 4, 2015) has been terminated. Because of solar farm construction right on the eastern claim boundary, where the highest gold potential exists, access and the ability to properly carry out exploration work was being severely restricted. Therefore, the decision was made to terminate the agreement.
Craig Lake Base Metal Project, Saskatchewan
The Craig lake Project, near Flin Flon, Manitoba, now consists of 3 claims covering 4,977 hectares. The main claim block covers two DPEM targets-one measuring 500m X 500m along strike and down dip, and the other measuring 800m X 800m. The claims are within 1700m of the former-producing Westarm Mine.
Brabant Lake Graphite Project, Saskatchewan
This project now consists of one claim block covering 704 hectares. The claim covers 3 known zones of graphite mineralization including the Ben showing. Samples from the Ben showing assayed between 6.4% Cgr (graphitic carbon) to 48.4% Cgr. Assay results and analyses from the three showings showed that 82% to 86% of the graphite reported to the +80 mesh (+0.18mm) size fraction and 70% to 79% reported to the +50 mesh (0.30mm) size fraction.
Gary Billingsley, President comments "We have maintained a diversified project portfolio while focusing on consolidating our land position to cover the areas of highest exploration potential. Our immediate goal, though, is to satisfy the outstanding conditions to get final acceptance from the TSXV in closing the acquisition of the Cook Gold Project ."
