TSX.V: CPO, Pink Sheets: CBBWF
VANCOUVER, Nov. 6, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc.
(the "Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to
announce that, further to the Letter of Intent (LOI) signed earlier
this year (see news release dated July 27,
2017), it has entered into a definitive agreement ("the
Agreement") with Canadian Cobalt Projects Inc. The Agreement
entails the acquisition of five separate blocks of prospective
mineral claims encompassing approximately 7,500 hectares located in
the Cobalt Camp region of northern Ontario, along with several applications for
mineral tenements in historic cobalt mining areas of southern
Sweden. The Company has completed
the filings with the TSX Venture for approval of the
transaction.
Highlights
- Upon completion of the acquisition, Cobalt Power will become
one of the largest landowners in the prolific Cobalt Camp/Silver
Centre region of Ontario, with
land holdings totaling approximately 8,700 ha.
- The claim group is in close proximity to several historic
mines, including the former producing Keely and Frontier Mines, and
is also near the recently announced First Cobalt/Cobalt One
lands.
- The presence of historical showings on the properties, combined
with a favourable geological setting, enhances the exploration
potential for the properties.
"Global supply and demand forces continue to drive the price of
cobalt to new yearly highs as additional sources are sought by the
energy storage industry," comments Dr. Andreas Rompel, President & CEO. "The
acquisition of the Canadian Cobalt Project turns us into one of the
leading players in the Ontario Cobalt Camp, a region where major
battery makers are beginning to focus their attention."
Transaction Details
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, acquisition of the
Properties will be accomplished by Cobalt Power Group acquiring all
of the issued and outstanding shares of Canadian Cobalt in exchange
for the issuance of 29,500,000 common shares of Cobalt Power to the
existing shareholders of Canadian Cobalt. At closing, the
shareholders of Canadian Cobalt will receive the benefit of a 1.5%
net smelter returns royalty, of which 75% may be purchased at any
time in consideration for a cash payment of (CDN)$1,000,000. Following completion of the
transaction, Canadian Cobalt will become a wholly owned subsidiary
of Cobalt Power Group.
