FTSSF Purchases Five Unpatented Claims in Ontario’s Cobalt Camp

Cobalt exploration and development company First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQB: FTSSF) this morning announced its acquisition of five unpatented claims located in the North Cobalt region of Ontario’s Cobalt Camp. Per the update, three of these claims are contiguous to the company’s properties to the east of the Silver Banner and Ophir mines. “This area of North Cobalt is of particular interest as some of the more significant past-producing cobalt mines are nearby, including the Silver Banner mine where we reported high grade cobalt samples,” Trent Mell, president and CEO of First Cobalt Corp., stated in the news release. To date, limited exploration has been conducted on these newly purchased claims. As a result, First Cobalt intends to conduct mapping, as well as soil and till geochemical surveys, as part of a grassroots exploration program in the summer of 2018.
