/CNW/ - Canada Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC:
CCWOF) (
Frankfurt
: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Cobalt") is pleased to announce that
Matt
Halliday
, P.Geo., has been appointed VP-Exploration of the Company, effective mid-December. He
joins Canada Cobalt from
Kirkland Lake Gold
where he has been serving as Resource Geologist.
"We're delighted to have an individual of Matt's caliber join our team," explained
Frank Basa
, Canada
Cobalt President and CEO. "He and his family reside in
Haileybury
and he's intimately familiar with
the Northern Ontario Silver-Cobalt Camp. He'll be working out of our new headquarters at 'CCW
PolyMet' in nearby Cobalt following the acquisition. Matt will be responsible for all aspects of
exploration and underground work at the Castle Silver-Cobalt mine and property, plus Beaver. He
will also make important contributions to the business model at the PolyMet lab and processing
centre."
A graduate of
Dalhousie University
in 2007, Halliday honed his skills for almost eight years with SGS
Geostat, known as global leaders in ore body modelling and reserve evaluation. Over the last 12
years he has focused on resource reporting and modelling while also gaining abundant experience
with advanced field exploration including major drill programs in
Ontario
and
Quebec
.
"I'm really excited to take this position with Canada Cobalt as the Company has clearly emerged as
the district leader among juniors in exploration, technology and development possibilities at a key
point in the metals cycle," stated Halliday. "At Castle there are multiple initiatives to focus on
including a fresh drill program from surface before Christmas as we target a potential new deposit at
Castle East within just two km of the three past
Gowganda
producers. The PolyMet acquisition is
icing on the cake as it vertically integrates Canada Cobalt and adds an array of dynamic new
opportunities to grow the Company."
About Canada Cobalt Works Inc.
Canada Cobalt has 100% ownership of the Castle mine and the 78 sq. km Castle Property with
strong exploration upside in the prolific past producing
Gowganda

. With underground access at Castle, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity
concentrates on site, 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 Cobalt is strategically positioned to become a vertically integrated North American leader in
cobalt extraction and recovery while it also exploits a powerful new silver-gold market cycle.
