TSX.V: CPO, Pink Sheets: CBBWF
VANCOUVER, Sept. 18, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc. (the
"Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to announce that it has now completed its due diligence review of the
business and affairs of Canadian Cobalt Projects Inc. ("Canadian Cobalt") and the four separate blocks of mineral claims owned or
leased by Canadian Cobalt in the South Lorrain and Lorrain Townships, Ontario which encompasses
approximately 7,400 ha of prospective mineral lands. Canadian Cobalt Projects Inc. is an Ontario
corporation incorporated specifically for the purpose of acquiring the four (4) blocks of property lands at issue.
Given the current events within the Company, which have included a strategic investment by Hochschild Mining Holdings Ltd.
(see news release August 30, 2017), the terms of the proposed acquisition were adjusted and the
consideration that the parties have now agreed to for Cobalt Power's acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of
Canadian Cobalt has been reduced to 29,950,000 shares, plus a 1.5% net smelter returns royalty, of which 75% may be purchased at
any time in consideration for a cash payment of (CDN)$1,000,000 (terms of the proposed acquisition
were initially announced by the Company on July 27, 2017). Following completion of the transaction,
Canadian Cobalt will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Cobalt Power Group. The terms of acquisition are subject to TSX Venture
Exchange approval.
Highlights
- On completion of the acquisition, Cobalt Power becomes one of the largest landowners in the prolific Cobalt Camp/Silver
Centre (land holdings total approximately 21,100 acres - 8,500 ha).
- Claim group is in close proximity to several historic mines, including the former producing Keely and Frontier Mines, as
well as the recently announced First Cobalt/Cobalt One lands.
- Presence of historical showings on the properties, combined with the favourable geological setting, enhances the geological
potential for the properties.
Dr. Andreas Rompel, President & CEO comments, "The acquisition of the Canadian Cobalt
properties presents a rare opportunity to increase our land holdings in the Silver Centre region, an area with a robust mining
history and known high-grade silver/cobalt mineralization."
