Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) ( Frankfurt : 4T9B) (the " Company " or " Canada Silver Cobalt ") announces that it has agreed with Research Capital Corporation, as sole bookrunner, and together with Canaccord Genuity Corp. as co-lead agents (together, the " Agents "), to increase the size of the previously announced best-efforts basis, private placement offering (the " Offering ") to $5,500,000 in gross proceeds to the Company. The Offering consists of a combination of: (i) units of the Company (the " Units ") at a price of $0.25 per Unit, (ii) flow-through units of the Company (the " FT Units ") at a price of $0.27 per FT Unit, and (iii) Quebec flow-through units of the Company (the " QFT Units ") at a price of $0.29 per QFT Unit.
Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a " Common Share ") and one common share purchase warrant (a " Warrant "). Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through Common Share (a " FT Share ") that will qualify as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act ( Canada ) (the "Tax Act") and one Warrant. Each QFT Unit will consist of one Quebec flow-through Common Share (a " QFT Share ") that will qualify as a "flow-through share" within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Tax Act and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec) and one Warrant.

The Agents will have an option (the " Agents' Option ") to offer for sale up to an additional 15% of the number of Units, FT Units and/or QFT Units sold in the Offering at the Offering Price, which Agents' Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Offering.
The net proceeds from the sale of Units will be used for continued exploration activities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. recently discovered a major high-grade silver vein system at Castle East located 1.5 km from its 100%-owned, past-producing Castle Mine near Gowganda in the prolific and world-class silver-cobalt mining district of Northern Ontario . This discovery has the highest silver resource grade in the world, with recent drill intercepts of up to 89,853 grams/tonne silver (2,621 oz/ton Ag). A drill program is underway to expand the size of the deposit with an update to the resource estimate scheduled for Q1 2022.
In May 2020 , based on a small initial drill program, the Company published the region's first 43-101 resource estimate that contained a total of 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferred resources, comprising very high-grade silver (8,582 grams per tonne un-cut or 250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B ) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a vertical depth of approximately 400 meters. Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Press Release May 28, 2020 , for the resource estimate. Report reference: Rachidi, M. 2020, NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate for Castle East, Robinson Zone , Ontario, Canada , with an effective date of May 28, 2020 , and a signature date of July 13, 2020 .
The Company also has 14 battery metals properties in Northern Quebec where it is currently drilling and the prospective 1,000-hectare Eby - Otto gold property close to Agnico Eagle's high-grade Macassa Mine near Kirkland Lake, Ontario where it will be exploring in 2022.
Canada Silver Cobalt's flagship silver-cobalt Castle mine and 78 sq. km Castle Property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper. With underground access at the fully owned Castle Mine, an exceptional high-grade silver discovery at Castle East, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity concentrates on site, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town of Cobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2Ox (for the creation of technical-grade cobalt sulphate as well as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations), Canada Silver Cobalt is strategically positioned to become a Canadian leader in the silver-cobalt space.
