09.11.2018 | 15:56 Uhr | CNW
And Trading on The OTCQB Venture Market

TORONTO, Nov. 9, 2018 - Cobalt Blockchain Inc. ("COBC" or the "Company") (TSX-V: COBC; OTCQB: COBCF) is pleased to provide a corporate update related to progress on the Company's cobalt project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") including:

  • Status of the DRC copper / cobalt joint venture properties;

  • Commissioning study on the DRC cobalt hydroxide plant;

  • Renewal of offer for US$10M credit facility;

  • Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market; and,

  • Conferences and events.

DRC Copper / Cobalt Joint Venture Properties

Further to COBC's announcement on March. 22, 2018, two local joint venture ("JV") companies have been formed, namely Alpha Cobalt SAS and Cobalt Blockchain SAS. Initial property payments totalling US$125,000 have been made to the local JV partners on the completion of due diligence related to property title and a baseline geological assessment. A further US$275,000 in cash, 300,000 shares and 300,000 options (on terms to be agreed upon on or prior to closing) will be paid to the local JV partners on completion of further milestones. The transactions described under this heading are subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

A NI 43-101 compliant technical report on both properties acceptable to the TSX Venture Exchange must be completed before the final closing of the JV agreements.

Commissioning Study on Cobalt Hydroxide Processing Plant

With reference to the Letter of Intent ("LOI") with Traxys Europe S.A. ("Traxys") (as previously announced on August. 7, 2018), COBC has engaged Minxcon Consulting (Pty) Limited, a South Africa based consulting engineering firm, to provide a commissioning study to confirm the time and capital costs required to commence operation of the DRC cobalt hydroxide plant. After the plant is commissioned, the initial feed will come from sources arranged by the Company such as the supply agreement previously announced on April 1, 2018. Upon a NI43-101 compliant technical report that includes resources on the above described joint venture properties having been obtained, feed for the plant may also come from these properties.

The closing of the arrangements with Traxys concerning the cobalt hydroxide plant are subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and no significant resources will be allocated by the Company to the arrangements with Traxys before the final acceptance of the Exchange.

Renewal of Offer for Credit Facility

Further to the Letter of Intent ("LOI") with the United Bank for Africa plc ("UBA") (as announced on June 14, 2018), UBA has extended the offer for the US$10 million credit facility to December 8, 2018.  The initial tranche will include US$2.0 million towards commissioning the cobalt hydroxide plant and US$1.5 million for purchasing ethically-sourced cobalt concentrates. The credit facility will be secured with US$350,000 in cash representing 10% of the loan amount. The agreement with UBA for the credit facility is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Now Trading on the OTCQB Venture Market

COBC is pleased to announce it has qualified to begin trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market under its existing ticker symbol "COBCF".  Moving to the OTCQB is an important step towards increasing awareness, visibility and potentially expanding the Company's U.S. shareholder base.
