FTSSF Starts Borehole Survey Program in Two Areas of Cobalt Camp

Cobalt exploration and development company First Cobalt Corp. (TSX.V: FCC) (OTCQB: FTSSF) this morning announced that it has initiated its 2018 borehole geophysical and optical televiewer survey program to test holes drilled in Cobalt South and for the first time in Cobalt North. The program seeks to expand recognized zones of cobalt mineralization and further define the controlling structures in the two areas. The data from the survey will also serve as a tool to assess ground geophysical methods for detecting blind cobalt mineralization throughout the Cobalt Camp. DGI Geoscience Inc. of Toronto, Ontario was engaged to carry out the borehole survey work. “Combining survey data with assay results and geological logs allows for quicker assessment and follow-up during the next stage of drilling. Borehole televiewer surveys are a relatively modern mineral exploration tool that will help map previously mined silver vein systems and could spatially define mineralization trends to predict where cobalt mineralization occurs,” First Cobalt VP, Exploration Dr. Frank Santaguida stated in the news release.
