ASX Release 17 August 2017
High Grade Cobalt Targets Confirmed at Bay Lake
Cobalt and Lithium developer MetalsTech Limited (ASX: MTC) is pleased to announce that it has received surface rock sample and soil geochemistry laboratory assay results from the recently completed field exploration program at the Company’s 100% owned Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project located in Ontario, Canada.
Highlights:
-
Sampling program at Bay Lake confirms the presence of high grade cobalt mineralisation at surface across the prospective geological trend at the contact of the Nipissing Diabase
-
1.17% Co and 7.7g/t Ag recovered from a surface “dump” pile at the Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect
-
0.40% Co recovered at the historic Price Prospect exploration pit where historic sampling of a surface “dump” pile returned 2.14% Co, 0.11% Cu, 0.48 g/t Au and 1,740 g/t Ag (refer to ASX announcement dated 16 May 2017 and titled "MetalsTech Expands High Grade Bay Lake Cobalt Project”)
-
0.61% Co , 0.34% Co and 0.15% Co were recovered surrounding the historic Bay Lake exploration shaft where in-vein sampling of the cobaltite vein below ground assayed 15.36% Co (refer to ASX announcement dated 16 March 2017 and titled “MetalsTech to Acquire Two High Grade Cobalt Projects”)
-
3.45g/t Au and 44.5g/t Ag also recovered around the Bay Lake exploration shaft and pit suggesting potential for Co-Ag-Au in the area
-
A previously un-reported zone of mineralisation at a historic pit located approximately 900m NE of the Bay Lake Prospect exploration shaft has assayed 0.30% Co and 16.4g/t Ag
-
Re-sampling of the Bay Lake Prospect exploration shaft below ground was not possible due to water in-fill which prevented access
-
Evaluation and interpretation of recent MAG and TDEM survey as well as a follow up field program is planned prior to commencement of maiden drilling
Commenting on recent results, Executive Director Mr Gino D’Anna stated:
“Results from our recent field program at Bay Lake are outstanding and confirm potential for both high grade cobalt hosted within calcite veins as well as disseminated cobalt bearing mineralisation at surface. The next stage of development includes final interpretation of recent MAG and TDEM surveys before commencing a follow-up field program and our maiden drilling campaign. We continue to build our geological knowledge of the Bay Lake project and these results have confirmed that the prospective trend associated with the contacts at the Nipissing Diabase is the host of the high grade cobalt. We have now confirmed high grade cobalt mineralisation on surface and within the shallow cobalt-rich calcite veins.”

Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project
The Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project is comprised of 41 contiguous mineral claims covering an area of 3,200 hectares, and is 100% owned by MetalsTech. Bay Lake is located 10km SSW of the Historic Cobalt Mining Camp in the Cobalt Township on the eastern shore of Bay Lake in Coleman Township, Ontario, Canada.
The map below illustrates the location of the new mineral claims, relative to the Company’s existing Bay Lake mineral claims, relevant to the prospective cobalt rich trends:

0.42% Co to 12.3% Co - average of 5.84% Co) along strike in the same geological structure (refer to ASX announcement dated 28 November 2016 titled “High Grade Cobalt Project Acquisition, Canada”).
Historic in-vein sampling of the calcite veins at the Bay Lake Prospect have assayed15.36% Co in cobalt-rich veins. Historic sampling from 1988 of surface “dump” material at the Price Prospect assayed 2.14% Co, 0.11% Cu, 0.48 g/t Au and 1,740 g/t Ag. Drilling in this area from the 1950’s returned 1.5 m grading 7.95% Cu and 1.96 oz/ton Ag, with a 50-ton bulk sample grading 16% Cu and 12 oz/ton Ag collected from the same area in 1916. The Property has seen little exploration since the late 1980s.
The recently acquired Van Chester Cobalt Project includes mineral claims that are similarly host to historic exploration shafts and pits, including the Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect where historic sampling of surface “dump” material assayed 0.38% Co (refer to ASX announcement dated 4 August 2017 and titled "MTC Acquires Van Chester and West Cobalt Projects, Ontario”).
Recently, an airborne geophysical program consisting of MAG and TDEM has been completed at Bay Lake. Preliminary results from the MAG survey strongly illustrates the prospective trend that runs across the project in a NE-SW direction with a second regional trend operating in a NW direction off the main zone. The prospective trend is associated with the contact of the Nipissing Diabase where calcite veins have formed as an intrusive in the surrounding formations. Data from the MAG and TDEM surveys are still being analysed and interpretation is continuing with results expected in the next 10 days.
Field Exploration Program
The Company commenced the field exploration program at the end of June 2017. Its primary objective was to confirm the historic high-grade silver-cobalt mineralisation documented on the property from the existing shafts and pits dating from the early 1900s. In addition, reconnaissance mapping and sampling was completed along several prospective trends within the property as a precursor to maiden diamond drilling.
The images below show cobalt bloom (also known as Erythrite) and a historical exploration shaft which were identified in the area and is typical of the Bay Lake area:

The trenches located were typically 5m long, 2m wide, and 1-2m deep with some soil cover and water infill. The pits and shafts located were typically square or rectangular in shape, commonly 3 x 5 m with an indeterminate depth due to water infill. Some shafts were reinforced with wooden beams / structures.

A total of 64 rock samples (grab) were collected, targeting the calcite-sulphide veins within the Nipissing Diabase. Rock samples were collected from either the associated adjacent muck/dump piles or the structure walls. A soil sample grid was also completed in the Bay Lake Prospect area, with a total of 109 samples collected.
Bay Lake Prospect
A total of 12 historical structures (pit/shaft) were located and sampled in the area of the Bay Lake Showing, with a total of 27 rock samples collected (122733-54, 122863-98) from the associated muck piles. Several of the samples displayed cobalt bloom.
Pit/shaft sizes ranged from approximately 2 x 2m to 7 x 5m, with depth indeterminate due to water infill. Overall, the field crew observed that the historic work at the Bay Lake Prospect targeted the upper contact of the Nipissing Diabase as the pits/trenches were oriented roughly parallel to the contact (030[0] ).
A soil sampling grid was also completed in the Bay Lake Prospect area with the objective of identifying the presence of anomalous cobalt that may be associated with the upper and lower contacts of the Nipissing Diabase. The soil grid consisted of eight grid lines of ~525 m in length, with 50m line spacing and 25m station spacing.
The results from the soil sampling program identified that the south-eastern contact of the Nipissing Diabase around the Bay Lake Prospect is the most prospective.
The Company is planning on undertaking additional mapping and soil sampling along this contact where the strongest anomalous samples have been received.

Price Prospect
A total of 5 historical structures (pit/shaft) were located in the area of the Price Prospect, with a total of 5 rock samples collected (122762-66) from the associated muck piles. Several of the samples displayed cobalt bloom and copper staining.
The primary historic Price shaft was also located and sampled. The mine shaft had dimensions of approximately 4 x 5m, with depth indeterminate due to water in-fill. The Price Prospect, as well as several adjacent pits, were also sampled during the program. One of the pits was at least 15m deep, and the trenches at an orientation of between 030[0] and 045[0] .

Jumbo Point Prospect
A total of 7 samples were collected (122767-73) from the Jumbo Point Mine shaft and the surrounding area, of which, 2 samples were collected from the mine shaft muck pile, and 1 sample collected from a pit muck pile ~15m to the northwest. The remainder of the samples were collected from outcrops that showed signs of sulphide mineralisation. The Jumbo Point Prospect shaft was roughly 3 x 5m, with an indeterminate depth due to water infill.
Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect
A total of 4 samples (122779-82) were collected from muck piles at the Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect, located just south of Highway 11, all of which displayed cobalt bloom. The major pit at the Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect was covered over by a large concrete slab.

Regional Targets
Approximately 900m northeast of the Bay Lake Prospect, three historic pits were located and sampled. One muck pile had samples with cobalt bloom (samples 122755-56).
In the southeast portion of the prospective area, 5 historic pits/trenches were sampled (samples 12272627, 122731-32, 122774-76) in addition to some of the surrounding outcrops. On the eastern side of the Property, a total of 3 historic pits, ranging in size from 5 x 5m to 3 x 2m, were located and sampled (samples 122783-85).
The north-central areas of the property were also visited to locate historic pits/trenches. The field crew was unable to locate two historic structures at the north end of the property closest to the Portage Bay Camp, due to ground cover.
Future field exploration programs will allocate additional time to this area, which is located along the prospective trend, and further investigation is warranted.
Approximately 1km SW of this area, 3 samples were collected from a pit, trench, and shaft. The shaft (6 x 3m with depth indeterminate due to water infill) and the trench are located approximately 30m off the property, and were sampled for orientation purposes to map the direction of the mineralised calcite veins.

Results and Discussion
The sampling program at Bay Lake has confirmed the presence of strong cobalt mineralisation on surface in calcite veins across the prospective geological trend at the contact of the Nipissing Diabase. Samples were collected from historic pits, trenches, shafts, muck/dump piles, and outcrop exposures, with most of the samples exhibiting visual mineralisation, known as “cobalt bloom”.
A Cobalt grade of 1.17% Co and 7.7g/t Ag was recovered from a surface “dump” pile at the newly acquired Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect. These results are better than historic sampling suggests, verifying the high prospectivity of this historic exploration shaft and surrounding area. The Company will focus its future efforts including drilling on this high grade cobalt mineralised area.
A grab sample taken from an area adjacent to the historic Price Prospect exploration pit returned a cobalt assay grade of 0.40% Co , which has validated the prospectivity of this area where historic sampling of a surface “dump” pile returned a cobalt assay grade of 2.14% Co . The differential in the assay grade is not unexpected given the weathering and oxidisation profile of the surface dump/muck pile. The Company considers this result to be an understatement of true potential and future exploration including drilling will be completed at this area.
Surface sampling adjacent to the historic Bay Lake exploration shaft returned cobalt assay grades of 0.15% Co, 0.34% Co and 0.61% Co . In-vein sampling of the cobaltite vein within the Bay Lake exploration shaft where historic assay results were 15.36% Co was not possible due to water infill in the historic shaft. The presence of cobalt mineralisation at surface combined with the historic high grade invein samples suggest that disseminated and vein-hosted mineralisation is present. Another surface sample taken at the historic Bay Lake exploration shaft returned a gold grade of 3.45g/t Au suggesting that the mineralisation in the area has the potential to host Co-Ag-Au.
Another sample taken from the historic Bay Lake pit returned a silver assay grade of 44.5g/t Ag. Elevated silver mineralisation is strongly correlated with cobalt mineralisation within the Cobalt Embayment zones, so this result is not unexpected and confirms the origins of the Bay Lake project, where historic miners would use the cobalt mineralisation as a tracer mineral to the identification of high grade silver mineralisation.
A previously un-documented zone of mineralisation approximately 900m NE of the Bay Lake Prospect has been discovered along the Nipissing Diabase returning assay results of 0.30% Co and 16.4g/t Ag. This area is at the intersection of the two main regional prospective geological trends and his seen little historic exploration. The Company plans to undertake some additional field mapping of this new area before undertaking the first phase of drilling.
Overall the field exploration program has been a tremendous success, having confirmed the presence of high grade cobalt mineralisation as well as the distinct correlation between silver mineralisation and cobalt mineralisation. The next stage of exploration will consist of additional field sampling, channel sampling, stripping / trenching and additional mapping across the high priority areas that have been identified together with those areas that were not traversed.
Drill program design, including the number of holes and the number of drill targets, for the maiden drilling campaign at Bay Lake is being finalised. At this stage, dependent on the receipt of the necessary permits, the Company plans to commence drilling during September/October, which will then continue in winter when access is easiest.

Geology and Exploration Strategy
Bay Lake hosts principal ore veins, cross-veins, masses of mineralised Keewatin interflow rocks, and disseminated minerals in the Gowganda Formation, Coleman Member. Only the principal ore veins contain silver ore and they occur primarily in the Coleman Member. The veins also contain cobalt indicator minerals such as arsenides and native silver (principal metal veins). The arsenides, including nickel, cobalt, and iron varieties, occur as massive lenses and disseminated grains in the carbonate veins. Some massive lenses extend across the entire widths of the veins, others present as irregular bodies in the centres of the veins, and still others occur at the edges of the veins.
The distribution of cobalt indicator minerals from top to bottom of the veins are rich in the following elements (i) nickel, (ii) cobalt and (iii) iron. The veins can be classified as Ni-As, Ni-Co-As, Co-Fe-As and Fe-As. Silver grades exhibit a very different zonation implying that previous production has excluded multiple areas of cobalt mineralisation.
Implications for Cobalt Targets
==> picture [307 x 424] intentionally omitted <==
-
Cobalt and silver mineralisation occurs in calcite veins in close association
-
Cobalt indicator minerals are not correlated to silver grades – high grade zones cross cut indicator mineral zones
-
Historical production targeting silver didn’t focus on cobalt mineralisation – low grade silver zones likely to have Co-mineralisation in-situ
-
Re-entry of the mine workings considered possible with establishment of drill platforms to follow rehabilitation
-
Drill out of interpreted cobalt rich zones to follow

Summary
Historical reports indicate substantial cobalt grades in silver ore however the project’s cobalt potential remains untested – cobalt was used as a tracer for silver mineralisation but not targeted in its own right.
The Bay Lake Project, including the Van Chester (Last Chance) Prospect, the West Cobalt Shaft, the Price Prospect, the Bay Lake Prospect and the Jumbo Point Prospect, have been exposed to historic existing underground mine workings related to past operations. The Company believes re-entry following rehabilitation of existing adits will open up a significant amount of strike length of known structures for modern cobalt focused exploration and production. In the project area, several Calcite veins occur within the lowest part of a Nipissing diabase sill near the contact with arkoses of the Lorrain Formation.
