Canada Silver Cobalt Works Acquires 39,200 Hectares of EV Properties in Ontario and Quebec

 Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) ( Frankfurt : 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased to announce the acquisition of 39,200 hectares of EV properties in Quebec and Ontario.  It is Canada Silver Cobalt's intention to transfer the properties, in exchange for shares, to another public company to be identified by the Company, in order to capitalize on the current EV market, and to distribute the shares by way of dividend to Canada Silver Cobalt's shareholders.

These properties have a strong potential to host a variety of base metals including nickel, copper and cobalt. This strategic move is for structural organization purposes to add to our current cobalt mineralization discoveries in the Cobalt Camp and as an expedient approach to the increasing demand for EV battery input materials.  Canada Silver Cobalt's main focus will remain on its High-Grade silver discovery at the Robinson Zone with drill core silver grades of 89,000 grams per tonne ( January 29, 2021 CCW Press release).

Quebec Properties:

Ontario Property:

These properties have been acquired and/or staked.  All the properties have surface showings that have been sampled or have massive gravity anomalies.  The Lowney Lac Edouard South property in Quebec is adjacent to Rio Tinto Mines property.  The Ontario properties are within 25 kilometers of the Sudbury basin where Glencore and Vale have multiple mines and smelters which have been in operation for over 100 years to recover nickel, copper and cobalt metals.  The Company will continue to search for additional assets and property acquisitions in the vast areas of Northern Quebec and near the Sudbury nickel basin, so-called because of the massive deposits previously, and recently, discovered in these regions, one of the best areas in the world for nickel, copper, and cobalt discoveries.

With the race for the discovery of large new deposits of key metals from safe jurisdictions accelerating, prices are reacting with the price of some EV metals such as nickel, copper and cobalt, having been dormant for some time, already moving up over 30% in 2021.  North American governments at all levels are becoming increasingly involved, supporting companies seeking to supply input metals for EV batteries as the push for a green economy continues unabated.  Major geo-political forces have recently done a 180 and are now going all-in on green initiatives and related technologies.  What we are seeing today is consistent with previous announcements like the joint American-Canadian Federal Governments' press release from just over one year ago.  On January 9, 2020 , the American and Canadian governments announced the finalization of a joint action plan on critical metals which stated, "This Action Plan will promote joint initiatives, including research and development cooperation, supply chain modelling and increased support for industry."

CEO Frank J. Basa P.Eng . notes, "Timing has never been better, which is why we are moving ahead with these acquisitions that will facilitate strategic positioning for the Company to take full advantage of rapidly evolving market conditions for EV battery base metal inputs.  The idea is to best position the Company to take full advantage of synergies, government policy and financial supports as the urgent search for massive deposits of metals needed to fulfill stated green objectives accelerates."

Canada Silver Cobalt cannot give any assurances regarding a potential transfer of the Quebec and Ontario properties to another public company in exchange for shares, the terms and conditions of any such transfer, the distribution of such shares to the Company's shareholders by way of dividend, whether TSX Venture Exchange or other stock exchange or regulatory approval will be obtained for such transfer or distribution, to the extent required, or the timing of any of the foregoing.
