Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (a "Warrant"). Each FT Unit will be comprised of one flow-through Common Share that will qualify as a “flow-through share” within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one Warrant.

Canada Silver Cobalt will use the net proceeds from the Offering of the Units for working capital and general corporate purposes and will use the proceeds from the Offering of the FT Units to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses on the Company’s Castle property.

 

The Agents will have an option, exercisable in whole or in part at any time prior to closing of the Offering, to increase the number of Units, FT Units, and/or the components thereof purchased and sold under the Offering for additional gross proceeds to the Company of up to $3,000,000.

 

The Agents will also have the option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to increase the size of the Offering by up to an additional 15% in Units and/or FT Units, to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes, by giving written notice of the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option to the Company at any time up to 30 days following Closing.

Closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about October 20, 2021, or on such other date as agreed upon by the Company and the Agents. Completion of the Offering is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including that of the TSX Venture Exchange, and to the conditions set out in the agency agreement to be entered into between the Company and the Agents.

About Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc.

 

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. recently discovered a major high-grade silver vein system at Castle East located 1.5 km from its 100%-owned, past-producing Castle Mine near Gowganda in the prolific and world-class silver-cobalt mining district of Northern Ontario. This discovery has the highest silver resource grade in the world, with recent drill intercepts of up to 89,853 grams/tonne silver (2,621 oz/ton Ag). A drill program is underway to expand the size of the deposit with an update to the resource estimate scheduled for Q1 2022.

 

In May 2020, based on a small initial drill program, the Company published the region’s first 43-101 resource estimate that contained a total of 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferred resources, comprising very high-grade silver (8,582 grams per tonne un-cut or 250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a vertical depth of approximately 400 meters. Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Press Release May 28, 2020, for the resource estimate. Report reference: Rachidi, M. 2020, NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate for Castle East, Robinson Zone, Ontario, Canada, with an effective date of May 28, 2020, and a signature date of July 13, 2020.

 

Canada Silver Cobalt’s flagship silver-cobalt Castle mine and 78 sq. km Castle Property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper. With underground access at the fully owned Castle Mine, an exceptional high-grade silver discovery at Castle East, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity concentrates on site, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town of Cobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2Ox (for the creation of technical-grade cobalt sulphate as well as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations), Canada Silver Cobalt is strategically positioned to become a Canadian leader in the silver-cobalt space.
