[{"type":"text","content":"Canada Silver Cobalt Releases Cobalt - Nickel Assays of 11 and 4 Percent Respectively from Concentrate of Castle Mine Waste RockCoquitlam, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 7, 2023) - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTCQB: CCWOF) (FSE: 4T9B) (the \"Company\" or \"Canada Silver Cobalt\") is pleased to announce that it has completed re-processing waste rock material from Castle Mine for battery minerals, in Gowganda, Ontario.\"Re-processing the mine waste rock to limit the amount of soluble metals entering the water and into the surrounding water shed, thereby contributing to the global green incentives,\" commented Frank J. Basa, B.Eng., CEO, \"reinforcing our ESG commitments.\"Highlights of Waste Rock Re-Processing for EV Metals:In addition to recovering silver, cobalt and nickel were recovered in the same gravity concentration step from the Castle Mine waste rock.EV metals are recovered as a by-product with silver being the primary metal and paying all processing costs. Ores in the Cobalt Camp can compete on a global scale regardless of price fluctuations due to their grades and association with precious metals.Re-2Ox process will be used to produce EV salts for the battery market to meet client-specific requirements.TABLE 1: Cobalt - Nickel Assays from Waste Rock ConcentratesSample No.Co (ppm)Co (%)Ni (ppm)Ni (%)Castle -20 (1)90,3779.0437,5663.76Castle -20 (2)92,7809.2835,3973.54Castle -20 (3)114,54811.4533,9153.39Castle +20 (1)118,21611.8240,4934.05Castle +20 (2)115,60611.5640,4664.05Castle +20 (3)113,86811.3943,6334.36 The assays were performed on two separate size classes of the same mineralized material in line with the silver assays. The assays were closer together on all size classes, indicating there is no native metal effect on the battery metals. The gravity concentrates will be sent to SGS Lakefield for further upgrading by flotation to see if there will be an increase in concentrate grades before subjecting the final concentrate to the Re-2Ox process to produce EV battery salts.
