FTSSF Reports High Grade 3.9% Cobalt in Kerr Lake

First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQB: FTSSF) this morning reported high grade cobalt assays to 3.9 percent at the historically-producing Juno mine, Kerr Lake area in Cobalt North (located north of the Drummond mine). The Kerr Lake surface sample results suggest that a broad hydrothermal system may exist in the area. Trent Mell, President & Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Juno is another example of a historic high grade cobalt mine on our land package that could be a target for bulk mining potential or as early feed to a centralized mineral processing facility within the Cobalt Camp. We will continue to confirm the grade variability and size of these mines in the 2018 exploration program as the first step to establishing a flow sheet for cobalt production in the Cobalt Camp.” In addition, Trent Mell recently discussed First Cobalt’s 2017 success in an interview with Uptick Newswire (http://nnw.fm/Ve87s).
