(\"Namibia Rare Earths\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: NRE) today announced that it has received positive results from analyses of archived soil samples over the Western Targets area on the Kunene Cobalt-Copper Project in northern Namibia. These results confirm kilometer-scale cobalt anomalies previously inferred from a historic regional geochemical survey. Additional results are pending from targets identified along the DOF Extension and the Okanihova Targets.\n\n\n \n \n\n \nNamibia Rare Earths is conducting systematic exploration over an area of 2,142 km2 west of the newly discovered stratabound Co-Cu discovery of Celsius Resources at Opuwo (Figure 1). The Western Targets area is one of three principal cobalt target areas at Kunene. The three target areas were defined on the basis of soil geochemical surveys by previous workers exploring for copper in 2014 at a regional-scale sample spacing of 1 kilometer (Company press release February 21, 2018). Samples from those surveys were analysed by ICP, which is an acceptable analytical method for cobalt. Subsequently, more detailed sampling along selected lines at a spacing of 100 meters utilized handheld XRF data, which provided reliable data for copper and other metals but was not reliable for cobalt. Namibia Rare Earths is systematically re-analysing this archived database of over 12,000 soil samples to obtain reliable data on cobalt. Regional anomalies are being confirmed by repeat analyses of archived samples using ICP analytical methods for cobalt (Figure 2). Sample preparation and analytica...
