M2 Cobalt Discovers a Second Large Cobalt Anomaly with up to 1.24% Cobalt

Apr 20, 2018

M2 Cobalt Corp. (the “Company”) (TSXV:MC) (OTCQB:MCCBF) is pleased to announce that results from rock and soil samples taken as part of the initial phase of the work program recently launched on its exploration licenses (“Els”) at Bujagali have resulted in the discovery of a new Cobalt (“Co”) and Copper (“Cu”) anomaly delineated by both soil and rock samples (named the ‘Waragi Target’).

The results of soil and rock samples collected from the Waragi Target have delineated a well-defined cobalt and copper anomaly which is at present approximately 750 metres by 550 metres and open to the North East.  Both infill sampling and a grid extension have been completed to better define the anomaly, and to delineate its full extent, with results anticipated shortly.  Following which, the Company will move into large-scale trenching and targeted drilling to test mineralization at depth.

Soil samples which form the anomaly comprise: 56 samples with more than 100 parts per million cobalt (“ppm Co”) including six samples with between 212 and 626 ppm Co; and, 37 samples with more than 100 ppm copper including seven samples with between 160 and 547 ppm Cu.  In addition to the soil samples, 23 rock grab samples contain anomalous cobalt (0.11 percent (“%”) Co to 1.24% Co) and, 19 rock samples contain anomalous copper (0.1% to 0.4% Cu).  Anomalous rock samples are hydrothermal breccias and altered meta-sediments.  Maps providing more details on the results can be found on the Company’s web site: www.m2cobalt.com/index.php/projects/bujagali.  Table 1 below shows the rock grab sample highlights.

All samples were sent to ALS Chemex South Africa (Pty) Ltd., an independent and fully accredited laboratory in South Africa (“ALS”) for analysis for gold multi-element Induction Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (“ICP”).  The Company also has a regimented Quality Assurance, Quality Control (“QA/QC”) program where at least 10% duplicates and blanks are inserted into each sample shipment.

Dean Besserer, P.Geol., the Company’s Technical Advisor and exploration program manager stated, “With this discovery, we now have multiple targets to advance with trenching and drilling, in addition to our ongoing property-scale exploration within our other Licenses at Bujagali and our Kilembe area properties. These are very positive results at this stage of our program and we look forward to taking the next steps towards fully understanding the extent of these opportunities”.

Simon Clarke, CEO stated, “We are very pleased with the size of our early discoveries and the grades of cobalt and associated metals that we are defining at our Bujagali properties.  We look to advance these discoveries to the next stage as expeditiously as possible”.
