Initial Drill Results Confirm Higher than Expected Vanadium Grades on Cornerstone Metal’s Carlin Vanadium Project

Cornerstone Metals (TSX-V: CCC) (OTCQB: CCCCF) (FSE: 1PY) (“Cornerstone” or the “Company”) announces the results of the first 8 holes of the 20 hole confirmation diamond drilling program on its Carlin Vanadium Project, Nevada. The new holes support the neighbouring historic holes with zone continuity in width and grade where expected, demonstrating an extensive near surface horizontal high grade mineralized vanadium zone. Five of eight new holes returned much higher vanadium grades compared to their neighbouring historic holes. The drilling also provides new silver and zinc values not previously documented.

Cornerstone President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Cowley, said:

“We are very pleased with the initial drill results as they demonstrate consistency of the widespread high grade vanadium zone with good thickness and grade.

These holes are a great step in confirming the deposit. It’s not surprising that the systematic historic Union Carbide drilling provides a solid and reliable base to work from. And adding to this, all of the new holes within the limits of the historic resource returned higher grades than their neighbouring historic holes.”
