FTSSF Announces Commencement of Drilling at Bellellen Mine

Cobalt exploration and development company First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQB: FTSSF) this morning announced that it has commenced drilling at the Bellellen mine in Ontario’s Cobalt Camp. A total of 15 holes ranging from 50 to 200 meters are planned at Bellellen in order to test the relationship between the near surface disseminated style of cobalt mineralization identified in 2017 and the vein style mineralization that was traditionally mined in the Cobalt Camp. “Bellellen is the initial focus of the 2018 drill program because of the high values of cobalt as a disseminated ore texture with pyrite, which has not been previously described in the Cobalt Camp,” Trent Mell, president and chief executive officer of First Cobalt, stated in the news release. “Early work suggests that a more complex structural and hydrothermal setting may exist here than was previously considered.”
