MetalsTech Expands Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project

Cobalt and Lithium developer MetalsTech Limited (ASX: MTC) is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding acquisition agreement to acquire a significant package of mineral claims that are contiguous with the Company’s 100% owned Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project located in Ontario, Canada.

Highlights:

  • Proposed acquisition of 11 contiguous mineral claims increases the Company’s landholding at Bay Lake four-fold to 2,744 hectares within a highly prospective Ag-Co rich geological domain

  • Proposed acquisition is in keeping with the Company’s strategy to focus on strategic commodities for the battery market, including cobalt and lithium

  • Bay Lake is located 10km SSW of the Historic Silver Mining Camp of Cobalt Township and has assayed up to 15.36% Co in cobalt-rich veins (refer to ASX announcement dated 16 March 2017 and titled “MetalsTech to Acquire Two High Grade Cobalt Projects”)

  • The proposed acquisition includes mineral claims that are similarly host to historic exploration shafts and pits, including the Price Prospect where historic sampling of surface “dump” material assayed 2.14% Co, 0.11% Cu, 0.48 g/t Au and 1,740 g/t Ag

  • Legal and technical due diligence complete with settlement due in the next few days

  • Exploration will commence at Bay Lake next month including ground mapping, mechanised trenching, sampling and drill target identification

Commenting on the new acquisition, Executive Chairman Mr Russell Moran stated:

“We have solidified a strategic holding near the exciting Township of Cobalt which we believe is the jurisdiction with the most potential for new high grade cobalt discoveries outside of the DRC. We are progressing through the community and stakeholder engagement process and we expect to be in a position to commence maiden exploration at Bay Lake next month.”

Bay Lake Extension

The proposed acquisition will extend the Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project four fold, by an additional 2,072 hectares. Bay Lake is located 10km SSW of the Historic Silver Mining Camp in the Cobalt Township on the eastern shore of Bay Lake in Coleman Township, Ontario, Canada.

The Bay Lake Prospect

The Bay Lake Prospect is located at the south west end of the project and is the area where historical exploration work was completed. In 1913, the Bay Lake and Montreal River Mining Company constructed six (6) exploration shafts targeting the Nipissing diabase and completed an extensive stripping campaign of the Nipissing diabase-Lorrain sediment contact, at the Bay Lake Prospect.

From 1923 - 1934 Nipissing Mining Company Ltd, trenched and stripped a portion of the Bay Lake Prospect area and completed an unquantifiable amount of subsequent underground development. In 1951, Sadler and La Pierre completed 30m of shaft sinking and 30m of drifting on the 27m level. This drifting exposed a 15cm wide cobaltite-rich vein. Sub-surface rock samples taken from this cobaltite-rich

vein on the 27m level produced assays including 15.36% Co, 15.29% Co, 14.31% Co and 15.27% Co (source: geological notes by R. Thompson, 1951, Resident Geologists’ Files, Township of Cobalt). The relevant coordinates for the sub-surface rock samples is noted as Map Sheet 19 and Claim Block 004 (refer to ASX announcement dated 16 March 2017 and titled “MetalsTech to Acquire Two High Grade Cobalt Projects”).

A surface grab sample of dump material at the Bay Lake Prospect (often referred to as “muck” which was left on surface during the silver mining and separation process) with disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite, malachite and erythrite conducted in 1988 yielded assay values of 2600ppm Cu, 6550 ppm Co, 305 ppb Au and 920 ppm Ni (source: Geoscience Laboratories Section, Ontario Geological Survey, Toronto). The relevant coordinates for the sub-surface rock samples is noted as Map Sheet 19 and Claim Block 004 (refer to ASX announcement dated 16 March 2017 and titled “MetalsTech to Acquire Two High Grade Cobalt Projects”).

The Price Prospect

The Price Prospect is located at the north-western portion of the project, at the tip of Jumbo Point. The Price Prospect was first discovered in 1912 and subsequent surface exploration consisted of at least ten (10) exploration pits and shafts. A shipment of 50 tons of ore grading 1,696 Cu ppm and 12 ounces (340g) per ton Ag was shipped in 1916.

During 1952-59 J. Price initiated mineral exploration on the south shore of Portage Bay east of Jumbo Point. One diamond-drill hole was completed in Nipissing diabase to a total depth of 37 m (122 feet). Notes by R. Thomson (source: Resident Geologist's files, Cobalt) indicate that a chalcopyrite vein exists with an approximate width of 1.5 m (5 feet) exposed in underground workings dating from 1929. The assay results from the single drill hole returned 7.95% Cu and 1.96 ounces Ag per ton (source: Resident Geologist's office, Cobalt).

The next period of local activity was in 1970 by Guardian Mines Limited on what was known as the Sutherland claims. A very low frequency electromagnetic (VLF-EM) ground survey delineated a number of small conductors as well as a large number of small fluctuations. The large conductors were interpreted to represent a possible mineralised fault zone whereas the smaller fluctuations might be vein conductors. A magnetic survey outlined 7 magnetic anomalies.

In 1982, Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited began exploration on a group of claims in the vicinity of Fiddler's and Snake islands on Portage Bay. The claims covered an anomaly detected by a VLF geophysical survey. A single diamond-drill hole totalling 248 m (815 feet) was completed to test the geophysical anomaly. The hole intersected the Nipissing diabase, however the results were not followed up and additional drilling was not undertaken.

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.

Both the Bay Lake Prospect and the Price Prospect have been exposed to substantial 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.

Bay Lake Extension Acquisition Terms

MetalsTech has entered into a binding acquisition agreement with Gino Chitaroni (the Vendor ), pursuant to which the Company will acquire a 100% interest in the Bay Lake Extension on the following terms:

  • CAD$10,000 non-refundable deposit within 5 business days of the mineral claims being recorded as granted by the MNDM, Ontario (completed)

  • MTC granted a 45-day exclusivity period to carry out legal, technical and commercial due diligence (completed)

  • Following satisfactory due diligence, Completion Payments to the Vendor to acquire a 100% interest:

    • CAD$20,000 cash

    • 50,000 fully paid ordinary MTC shares (12 months escrow)

  • Vendors retain a 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty over the cobalt metal produced - covers the original Bay Lake mineral claims and the expanded Bay Lake mineral claims

  • MTC retains the right to buy back half of the global NSR for CAD$500,000 - covers the original Bay Lake mineral claims as well as the expanded Bay Lake mineral claims - payable in any combination of cash or MTC shares at the 10-day VWAP

==> picture [37 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

Surface Rights Holders Notification Process

The Company has commenced the process for notifying the relevant stakeholders of its plans to commence exploration activities at Bay Lake. This has involved engaging with the local community stakeholders as well as engaging with local surface rights holders in and around the Bay Lake project area.

The Company has retained a local landowner to undertake the engagement process and the response to date has been very positive. This has allowed the Company to prepare for Phase I exploration which is expected to commence next month.

Geology and Exploration Strategy

The Bay Lake High Grade Cobalt Project is composed of 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 [306 x 434] 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
