VANCOUVER, Nov. 21, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc.
(the "Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to provide
an update on the exploration progress and status at its 100% owned
Smith Cobalt project near Cobalt,
Ontario and announces results from additional sampling at
the Smith Cobalt East outcrop.
Smith Cobalt Project Technical Update:
Analysis of drill core, along with mapping and sampling of
several mineralized outcrops, has improved understanding of the
geological setting of the veins encountered to date.
The generally accepted model for cobalt mineralization in the
Cobalt camp indicates that
mineralization can be found within the diabase as well as in the
overlying or underlying formations. Most mineralization is likely
to be found within 60 m of the upper and lower contacts of the
diabase sill. The best mineralization usually occurs where these
contacts are associated with major structures. The model also
predicts that well-mineralized veins systems will have significant
strike lengths that are poorly mineralized.
Work completed has identified multiple mineralized vein systems
cutting through all the major stratigraphic units, including the
key Nipissing diabase sill, as
well as the Huronian Coleman sediments and the underlying Archean
Keewatin volcanics, and Timiskaming metasediments. Major
regional structural zones, such as the Martineau Bay shear, have
also been identified in outcrops with associated mineralized vein
systems.
Multiple-element mineralization has been found in all of the
major stratigraphic units encountered, which is consistent with the
mineralization model. A summary of metal assemblages by rock
unit is shown in the following table:

Smith Cobalt East Outcrop Sample Results:
Six chip samples were collected over 0.5-1.0 m along six
separate veins. Significant values in Ag, Co, Cu, Ni and Zn were
shown. The samples were analyzed by SGS using a four-acid digestion
and an ICP finish.
Highlights:
- Sample 66701 contains 0.68% Co.
- Sample 66703 contains 89 g/t Ag and 0.16% Co.

"We continue to increase our knowledge of the polymetallic veins
found on our Smith Cobalt project. This encourages us to proceed
with exploration along this particular vein swarm, thereby
increasing its known strike length," comments Dr. Andreas Rompel, President & CEO. "Once
again, we have encountered significant cobalt grade when compared
to other producing deposits world-wide and are pleased to add this
locality to our list of sites where we have found such promising
results."
As reported earlier (see news release dated November 14, 2017), the 16-hole, 2306 m, Phase 2
drill program has been completed and the drill core has been
logged, sampled, and shipped to AGAT Laboratories in Timmins, Ontario. The results will be
released once the Company has received them and the QA/QC process
has been completed.
Also, additional sampling has been completed on the Temiskaming
Project (Proteus property), in and adjacent to an historical shaft,
where sulphide mineralization was observed in the recently
discovered outcrop (see news release dated Oct 30,2017).
Results for these samples are pending.
