Scientific Metals Commences Work Program at Iron Creek Cobalt Project

Scientific Metals (“STM” or the “Company”) (TSXV:STM)(FRANKFURT:26X)(OTCQB:SCTFF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Earl Waite and Sons, Mining Contractors, to rehabilitate the adits and underground workings located on the Iron Creek cobalt project (the “Property”) in Lemhi County, Idaho, USA. The Company plans to commence work when weather permits.
As quoted in the press release:

STM Senior Vice President, Exploration, Brian Kirwin commented, “The rehabilitation of the underground workings at the Iron Creek cobalt property is a significant step in STM’s growth. Earl Waite and Sons have extensive mining experience in the Idaho Cobalt Belt and will be able to provide invaluable information with their local knowledge. Our interpretation of the historical data suggests that the underground workings expose significant cobalt mineralization, and should provide a detailed look at the mineralization identified by previous exploration programs. The combination of working on patented claims, and accessing the cobalt mineralization in existing underground workings significantly accelerates the exploration and development of Iron Creek. Our goal is, by the end of 2017, to advance the project to a point that would, in normal circumstances, take several years.”
