Details of the tenements
Northern Cobalt has recently been granted an additional five (5) tenements surrounding its existing three (3) tenements at the Wollogorang Cobalt Project in the Northern Territory. This increases the company’s tenure from 1,131 km[2] to 4,986 km[2] , an increase of approximately 341% of the existing tenure, covering ground prospective for cobalt. The company originally applied for the ground in March 2017, which covers the same prospective geology that hosts the Stanton Cobalt Deposit and the Selby Cobalt Prospects.
Northern Cobalt has applied for an additional two (2) tenements across the border in Queensland. The Gold Creek Volcanics, which are host to the Stanton Cobalt Deposit, extend across the Northern Territory/Queensland border into the area covered by applications EPM 26756 and EPM 26757. Two rock chip samples taken by historical explorers show elevated cobalt values of more than 800 ppm Co within the application area.

Managing Director, Michael Schwarz, commented “The Stanton Cobalt deposit is only the beginning in this region for Northern Cobalt. As our geology team begins to unlock the exploration space of the metalliferous Gold Creek Volcanics, we see the potential for multiple examples of cobalt mineralisation in the region. Hence the securing of the ground position announced today.”
Operations Update
Exploration
Based on the exploration success that Northern Cobalt enjoyed in the first field season the company has developed more efficient exploration methods to explore for Stanton style cobalt mineralisation. Interpretation of the detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric data indicates that the best drill targets are covered by a thin layer of transported sedimentary material, potentially masking underlying mineralisation. The new approach will use detailed airborne geophysical data, combined with a compact mobile drill rig to obtain samples for geochemical analysis beneath the transported cover. A geochemical index has been developed to allow the use of portable XRF (X-Ray diffraction) for real time analysis. Mineralised anomalies will subsequently be tested with targeted conventional RC and Diamond drilling.
Further detailed airborne magnetics and radiometrics will be flown over much of the existing and newly granted tenure in preparation for the rapidly approaching drilling season. The data will be interpreted and new drill targets identified to be ranked with targets on existing tenements. The new exploration methodology will allow a rapid assessment of targets for cobalt mineralisation and give the company the best chance of identifying new and adding to existing resources in the coming field season.
Final drilling results
Results from drilling at the Running Creek and Felix prospects, as well as extensions to the Stanton Deposit are due to be received by the company this week. This will be the final set of results from the 2017 drilling campaign.
