VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cameo Cobalt Corp. (TSX
Venture:CRU) (OTC:CRUUF) (FWB:SY7N) (the “Company” or “Cameo Cobalt”) is pleased to provide a
corporate update pertaining to the Company’s recently completed Gochager Lake drill campaign and recently acquired Chilean and
Labrador properties.
Gochager Lake drilling:
- Cameo Cobalt successfully completed a $250,000 drilling campaign at its Gochager Lake copper-cobalt-nickel property in
Saskatchewan. Both completed drillholes GL18001 and GL18002; amounting to 725.4m of drilling, were designed to test sections of
reported high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt mineralization occurring in historic drillhole I-12 drilled in 1966. Drillhole GL18001
intersected multiple zones of semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization hosted within a very well mineralized gabbro.
Drillhole GL18002 intersected similar zones of mineralization and extended the known mineralization to depth. The Company eagerly
awaits assay results from an accredited laboratory in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
Cameo Cobalt has continued to expand its energy metal project portfolio with the recent acquisitions of the following
projects:
Carrizal Alto Project Highlights:
- 456 hectares in Carrizal Alto, Chile;
- Adjacent to site that has a significant history of cobalt production as reported by Genlith Inc. (www.genlith.com);
- Government reports support Carrizal Alto’s potential to yield high-grade cobalt deposits.
- Although being adjacent to reported cobalt production points to exploration potential on Cameo Cobalt’s Carrizal Alto
project, no qualified person for Cameo Cobalt has visited the site nor verified the information and such proximity is not
necessarily indicative of mineralization on Cameo’s property
Staghorn Lake Cobalt Project
Cameo’s Staghorn Lake Cobalt Project combines claims owned by Labrador Cobalt Corp (now a wholly owned subsidiary of Cameo Cobalt
Corp; see Cameo Cobalt news release dated May 14, 2018) with the original 6 Staghorn Lake claims to form a regional cobalt (Co),
nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) exploration target. The claims are located in 12 separate blocks totaling 4550 hectares spread
over a 1000 square kilometer area in northern Labrador. The Staghorn Cobalt Project covers numerous Co, Ni and Cu showings
described in the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Mineral Occurrence Database (MOD).
Highlights (from MOD):
- Puttuaalu Staircase showing where surface sampling returned up to 0.16% Co;
- Alliger Lake showing and its extensive gossan zone where past grab samples returned up to 2.35% Cu, 0.44% Ni and 0.12% Co as
well as another sample of 0.16% Co;
- Kingurutik Lake showing contiguous to tenure owned by Teck Corp. where previous cobalt sampling reaching 200 ppm Co (each
showing as described in the Newfoundland and Labrador government).
- As with the Carrizal Alto Project above, no qualified person for Cameo Cobalt has yet visited the site nor verified the
information beyond the MODs database
- All targets offer immediate cobalt exploration potential.
