Global Cobalt is focused on the acquisition, exploration and
development of strategic base metals properties.
Its strategy has been to acquire advanced stage strategic metal
properties that are either past producers, have been the subject of prior work
programs, and/or contain historic resources.
The Iron Creek project provides Global Cobalt with a foothold
in the Idaho Cobalt Belt, the most prolific belt of cobalt mineralisation in the
United States. It covers approximately 118 acres and has an initial 20 year
lease with an option to extend the lease for up to two successive terms of 20
years each. Approximately 30,000 feet of diamond drilling and 1,500 feet of
underground drifting have been completed by previous operators, with historic
literature defining "two distinct lenses of cobalt mineralization."
To date, the company has concentrated its operations on its
Werner Lake Mineral Belt properties located in the Province of Ontario and the
Karakul Cobalt Project in the Altai Republic, Russia.
The Werner Lake Mineral Belt is Global Cobalt's Canadian based
priority asset and provides the nearest term primary-cobalt in Canada. Historic
non NI 43-101 compliant reserves and resources total 1.1 million tonnes of 0.31%
cobalt, 0.29% copper and 0.011 opt gold. Global Cobalt aims to further advance
the Werner Lake Cobalt Deposit and provide a NI 43-101 compliant resource
estimate with near-term production decision.
Global Cobalt's flagship asset is the Karakul Cobalt Deposit in
the Republic of Altai, Russia. Significant undertakings have been made on this
deposit over the past few decades with the potential of it being the largest
known primary cobalt asset outside of Africa.
Erin Chutter, President & CEO stated: "The addition of
Iron Creek into our cobalt project portfolio is exciting and diversifies our
project mix at a time when cobalt is becoming increasingly important in the
battery sector. Karakul continues to be important to the company, but some
shareholders are interested in projects in other regions like our Canadian
Werner Lake project and now this US based asset."
Paul Sarjeant, VP Exploration added: "This property has the
potential to add significant value to our portfolio of cobalt properties. The
Iron Creek project shares characteristics with a series of sediment hosted
cobalt-copper deposits within the 60 km long Idaho Cobalt Belt, including
Formation Metal's proposed Idaho Cobalt Mine and the Blackbird Mine. This
transaction provides tremendous upside potential for our shareholders."
The company currently trades at $0.06, and with 88.6 million
shares outstanding, the company is capitalized at $5.3 million.
