Permits & Approvals

CANADA SILVER COBAL T RECEIVES DRILL PERMIT FOR ITS EV BATTERY

MET ALS GRAAL PROPERTY IN NORTHERN LAC ST -JEAN, QUEBEC

Coquitlam, BC, July 22, 2021 - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B)

(the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased to provide an update on its early-stage exploration

activities in the Province of Québec where it is evaluating 15 properties on 689 claims covering 38,129.4

hectares that are prospective for EV battery metals nickel, copper, and cobalt. (see Figure 1 below and

February 16 and April 21, 2021 news releases).

The Company has now received its drill permit in order to drill the Bouguer Anomalies Targets of its Graal-

Nourricier - Lac Suzanne property in northern Lac St-Jean. This property, which has not been fully explored,

is one of the five included in the company’s geophysical airborne surveys conducted earlier this year and it is

regarded as, geologically, one of the most promising. The Company is seeking to identify significant amounts

of nickel-copper-sulphide masses at the base of the magnetic chamber.

The drill program is scheduled to start in the next 30 days and, in particular, seeks to intersect the base of the

hidden magmatic reservoir of immiscible sulfides bath. Past drill results appear to be indicating

mineralization on the side of the magmatic reservoir and the massive sulphides are potentially still hidden

at depth.

The property has shown numerous metal intercepts from past drilling/sampling with the best results

recording grades of up to 10.31% nickel, 4.9% copper and 1% cobalt from diamond drilling (see details

below).

CEO Frank J. Basa, P.Eng., notes: “The company’s main focus remains the past-producing silver-cobalt Castle

property in northern Ontario and especially the ongoing exploration of the Castle East exceptional high-grade

silver discovery with drill intercepts up to 89,853 g/t Ag or 2,621 oz/ton and an initial resource of 7.6 million

oz Ag with an average grade of 8,582 g/t Ag or 250.2 oz/ton (see details below). The Castle East exploration

drill program is going well with 39,000 meters of the 60,000-meter program completed with numerous

results pending and we expect a major increase in estimated silver resources in an update of the Resource

Estimate expected in early 2022.

“The Quebec properties were acquired for their potential to host a variety of EV battery metals including

nickel, copper and cobalt with the intention of expanding our current holdings and strategically positioning

the Company and its shareholders to take full advantage of the evolving market conditions for EV battery base

metal inputs. We are undertaking first-stage geological evaluation of the properties and, as previously

announced, we are considering a potential transfer of the properties into another public company focused

primarily on EV battery metals with our key precious metals assets remaining in Canada Silver Cobalt,” Mr.

Basa stated

The first conceptual primary target identified based on Bouguer airborne survey conceptual modelling has an

extent of 1200m x 2200m on the Graal-Nourricier - Lac Suzanne property. The unknown is the elevation – or

the depth at which the base of the net-textured and massive sulfides sits. The geological team believes it should

be intersected at a depth range of 1500 to 2000m from surface over 100 to 150 meters thick. If the Company

succeeds in the first target, the drill will be moved to define near-surface targets prior to moving to a second

target of lesser magnitude in size. This plan is subject to change and depends of the findings.

For the drill program, the Company has retained the services of Saguenay-based Laurentia Exploration, which

has an extensive technical knowledge of the regional geology since several members of their crew have

already worked on drill programs at the adjacent Arianne Phosphate lac à Paul project. The exploration work

will be under the direction of GoldMinds Geoservices which has identified the targets.

Once drilling at Graal has started, the Company will follow up its exploration plan with drilling on the other

main first-level targets at:

 Lowney, Lac Edouard South-East

 Forgues East Manic Crater

 Fuchsia-Massif du Nord

 B15 Bouguer anomaly

The program also includes verification with field geology for the second-level properties.

The Company is not pursuing the option agreement on the B2 property as the completed drill program there

has not delivered expected results in comparison to the surface sample results.

About Graal – Nourricier Lac Suzanne property

The Graal-Nourricier - Lac Suzanne property is one of the most promising magmatic reservoirs identified

in the group of recently acquired properties. The Company’s intention is to drill directly on the maximum

Bouguer Anomaly identified. Below are some highlights (mostly historical data retrieved from public

reports and information on SIGEOM) where we are of the opinion that the results to date are only

mineralization on the side of the magmatic reservoir and the massive sulphides are still hidden at depth.

This property, comprising 71 CCW claims over 3,947 hectares and 23 optioned claims from Globex

comprised of 3 distinct blocks totaling 1,276 hectares for a combined total of 5,223 hectares, is the most

promising target. It is southeast of the Lac à Paul Arianne Phosphate deposit. The property is located

approximately 160 kilometers NNE of the city of Saguenay and 272 kilometers east of Chibougamau in NTS

22E15. The central and southern claim blocks are underlain by anorthosites, gabbros and troctolites

pertaining to the anorthositic suite of Lac-St-Jean, whereas the northern block is underlain by tonalitic and

trondhjemitic gneisses pertaining to the Rouvray gneissic Complex.

Previous work on the Lac Suzanne property was performed by Mines d’Or Virginia Inc. between 1997 and

2001. This work consisted of airborne geophysical surveys (magnetic and electromagnetic) followed by

ground surveys (magnetic and electromagnetic – MaxMin) in order to more precisely locate the anomalies

that were outlined by the airborne surveys. These surveys were followed by geological mapping, trenching,

blasting, soil geochemical and rock sampling. The last exploration work done, within the limits of the

present claims, consisted of diamond drilling where 13 holes were drilled totaling 1,473 meters. The

MaxMin survey delineated a good electromagnetic conductor over a strike length of over 6.5 kilometers

which has only been sparsely explored, with up to 800 meters drill hole spacing or more and the deepest

hole investigated at merely a 100 meters vertical depth. Knowing this, there remains a lot of ground to

investigate more thoroughly.

The best results from the rock and drill core sampling returned grades of up to 10.31% Nickel, 4.9% Copper

and 1% Cobalt from diamond drilling. The mineralization found on the Lac Suzanne property is of the

magmatic massive sulphide type where sulphides are concentrated within a magmatic chamber. The

Voisey’s Bay deposit in Labrador is of this same type. (for additional information regarding Voisey’s Bay

deposit, please see: Current Research (2003) Newfoundland Department of Mines and Energy Geological

Survey, Report 03-1, pages 231-239 - VOISEY’S BAY AND THE NICKEL POTENTIAL OF LABRADOR: A

SUMMARY FOR THE NONSPECIALIST by A. Kerr Voisey's Bay 2003 A. Kerr Report ). The exploration work

done on the Lac Suzanne property thus far has barely scratched the surface. As exploration deepens, there

is a good chance that richer grades may be encountered. There are many identified, near-surface

mineralized zones which dip toward the Bouguer Anomaly sweet spot.

On the Nourricier portion, there is Nourricier A (97-01), A (97-c235), B (NB 97-01) B (NB97-02) sector. The

hole collar NA-97-01 (GM 56023 – Rapport des Travaux 1997, Mines d’Or Virginia) locates the deposit. It is

near the RT-97-C238 trench which revealed even higher grades. "Recognized intrusive breccias in the

Feeder (Nourricier) Sector (A and B) with fragments of olivine containing droplets of sulphides indicating

crystallization of olivines in a sulphide bath are strongly similar to mineralization at Voisey's Bay”.

The host rock is gabbro or anorthosite injected with levels of pyrrhotite which give the rock an appearance

of breccia. The mineralization consists of disseminated to massive pyrrhotite (max 70%) sometimes

accompanied by chalcopyrite (1% or less) and garnet (35%, when the matrix is gabbro, at 45.5 m in the

hole). Magmatic mineralization, dominant Nickel-Copper (± Cobalt ± PGE), is associated with anorthositic-

troctolitic massifs.
