Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. announced it has signed an agreement with SGS Canada Inc. to proceed with the Re-2OX pilot plant. This critical step will allow the Company to accelerate the production of client-specific battery metals for the North American electric vehicle (EV) market, a key strategy for the Company. Highlights of SGS Work: Bench-scale optimization program; Pilot plant flowsheet design; Stage 1 Pilot plant, build and operate at Lakefield, Ontario. In 2018 SGS Lakefield used the environmentally friendly Re-2OX process to recover 99% of the cobalt and 81% of the nickel from a composite of gravity concentrates while also removing 99% of the arsenic, a long-time issue in this cobalt-rich Cobalt Camp. The gravity concentrates graded 9.25% cobalt, 5.65% nickel, 49.9% arsenic and 9,250 g/t silver. The Re-2OX process was used at SGS to produce a technical grade cobalt sulphate hexahydrate at 22.6%, directly from cobalt-rich gravity concentrates produced from the first level of the Castle mine. The 22.6% cobalt sulphate compound exceeded the specifications required by battery manufacturers at that time. The plan calls for SGS to design and build the Stage 1 pilot plant at Lakefield, Ontario. Feed material for this test work will come from the underground at the Castle mine, the high-grade silver discovery Robinson Zone, Beaver and Castle tailings, recycled batteries, and from newly acquired properties. Temiskaming Testing Laboratories (TTL) is an analytical facility the Company acquired in 2020 and, as a prominent Silver-Cobalt explorer in the region, the company are taking all the necessary steps to become a producer of both silver and battery metals for the EV market, while fully developing all of the company assets. Feed material will be North American, with production specifically designed for the North American EV market. Management sees the Re-2OX pilot plant as a long-term strategic advantage that will facilitate the production of battery metals for the EV market for many years. More importantly, production can be certified as ethically sourced within stringent Canadian environmental standards and traceable verification of a closed-loop supply chain that will ensure this product is highly sought-after and could even possibly garner a premium due to source verification. The cobalt ore will come from the Cobalt region including from the Castle property currently being aggressively drilled for high-grade silver and battery metals.
