(TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (\n \n Frankfurt\n \n : 4T9B) (\"Canada Silver Cobalt\") and Granada Gold Mines Inc. (\"Granada\" or \"Granada Gold\") (TSXV: GGM) (OTC: GBBFF) (Frankfurt: B6D) are pleased to jointly announce that Canada Silver Cobalt has begun preliminary test work at SGS,\n \n Lakefield\n \n ,\n \n Canada\n \n on mineralized material from the Granada Gold Mine in\n \n Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec\n \n .\n \n \n The planned test work was announced earlier this year (\n \n March 30, 2021\n \n joint news release) after Granada Gold announced the unexpected discovery of a rare earth and alkali metals deposit at the\n \n Granada\n \n property in\n \n Quebec\n \n during exploration for gold.\n \n \n Rubidium, one of the discovered alkali metals, showed particularly high assays and potential value based on quoted market prices (\n \n March 23\n \n and\n \n May 12, 2021\n \n Granada news releases) and therefore is an important part of the focus of the Re-2Ox test work.\n \n \n Rubidium has numerous applications in various industries (see below), including in sodium-ion batteries which may see significant growth ahead due to their reported cost-effectiveness as stationary energy storage for homes, the grid and data centres.\n \n \n \n Frank J. Basa\n \n , P.Eng., CEO, commented: \"\n \n Granada\n \n currently expects that rubidium will be treated as a zero-cost, by-product alkali metal recovery from\n \n Granada's\n \n gold mineralized resource. The preliminary test program will evaluate the potential recovery of rubidium mineralization and the subsequent amenability of the Re-2Ox process for the leaching and production of rubidium salts. Granada Gold intends to review the viability of suppling rubidium salts as a by-product of gold processing for evaluat...
