CANADA SILVER COBAL T FINALIZES OPTION AGREEMENT FOR LCT LITHIUM

PROPERTY NEAR POWER MET ALS CORP CASE LAKE PROJECT

The property package is approximately 240 km2 and is contiguous with Power

Metals’ Case Lake Lithium LCT property near Cochrane, Ontario.

Coquitlam, BC, February 6, 2023 - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt:

4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") announces it has finalized and signed the Option Agreement

to acquire a large prospective LCT Pegmatite land package (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) near Power Metals

Case Lake Project. The Company has strategically staked a large package surrounding both the claims

provided by the Option Agreement and claims adjacent to the Power Metals Case Lake LCT Lithium project

for a total holding of close to 240 square kilometres. The Property and project will be focused on exploring

the LCT potential in the area.

Gerhard Kiessling, P.Geo. VP Exploration, commented, “The location, size, and proximity to existing lithium

discoveries has our team excited to get started working on this property. With the demand for lithium

increasing, we feel that we are in the right place at the right time, and are currently in the process of planning

a substantial exploration program for the 2023 field season.”

The claim package is contiguous with Power Metal’s Case Lake Lithium Property to the east, where their

West Joe Dyke and Main Dyke areas have identified some significant lithium grades such as 1.86% Li2O

(Lithium) over 19.00m in hole PWM-22-135, 1.58 % Li2O over 15.00m in PWM-22-134 (See Power

Metals Corp News Release September 8, 2022), and 1.11% Li2O & 2.15% Cs2O (Cesium) over 6.84m in

hole PWM-22-128 (See Power Metals Corp News Release August 19, 2022),

The Property acquisition had focused on two important requirements. The first requirement was land that is

both proximal to known mineralization (Power Metals Case Lake) and land that contains pegmatites identified

at surface from historical bedrock, quaternary, or engineering maps. The second requirement was whether

the property contained the contact between Archean sedimentary rock and Archean massive to foliated

granodiorite. The Property covers approximately 52 kilometres of this potentially critical contact. This age of

rock and type of contact is a common environment for the occurrence of (Lithium-Cesium-Tantalum) LCT-

type pegmatites. As very limited historical work has been done on these claims and geological mapping is

available only at a large scale, the property has very significant potential for discoveries of new pegmatite

dykes – the primary source of lithium in this geological environment. These pegmatitic dykes can contain

spodumene which is a Lithium aluminium inosilicate, otherwise known as a lithium ore mineral, and other

elements such as Cesium and Tantalum that make up the ore minerals in LCT type deposits.

The Property acquisition consists of 2 separate agreements and four claim ‘blocks’. The Company and

Optionor shall enter into two Option Agreements whereby the Optionor shall grant to the Company the right

to acquire an undivided 100% interest in and to the Properties as follows:

a) Combined cash payment of $20,000 and issuance of 200,000 shares of the Company to be paid to the

Optionor, upon TSX Venture Exchange (“Exchange”) approval to the Definitive Agreement;

b) The Company incurs a total exploration expenditure on the Property in the amount $40,000 on or

before the one-year anniversary of the Definitive Agreement, to earn an undivided 50% interest in the

Property;

c) Combined cash payment of $40,000, and issuance of 400,000 shares of the Company to the Optionor

by the one-year anniversary of the Definitive Agreement date;

d) The Company incurs a total exploration expenditure in the amount $80,000 on or before the second-

year anniversary of the Definitive Agreement, to earn an undivided 100% interest in the Property;

e) Upon exercise of the Option by the Company, the Company grants to the Optionor a 2% NSR on each

of the 1-block and 3-block Properties and on Claims within a 2-kilometre area of influence from the

perimeter of the 3-block package as well as to certain CCW claims in between and within a 2-kilometre

area of influence from the perimeter of the 1-block property. The Company retains the option to buy

back 1% of each NSR for $500,000; and

f) Upon the filing of a NI 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate, where the resource is located within the

area of interest, the Company will issue 150,000 shares to the Optionor if on the three-block property;

or 50,000 shares if on the one-block property.

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. The Company has completed a 60,000m drill

program aimed at expanding the size of the deposit with an update to the resource estimate underway.

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.

The Company also has: (1) 14 battery metals properties in Northern Quebec where it has recently

completed a nearly 15,000-metre drill program on the Graal property; and (2) the prospective 1,000-

hectare Eby-Otto gold property close to Agnico Eagle’s high-grade Macassa Mine near Kirkland Lake,

Ontario where it is exploring. (3) lithium property – 230 square kilometers of greenfield exploration ground

focused along a significant volcanic sedimentary rock – Archean granite contact near Cochrane, Ontario

contiguous to Power Metals’ Case Lake Lithium properties.

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, 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. More information at www.canadasilvercobaltworks.com
