/CNW/ - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTCQB:
CCWOF) (
Frankfurt
: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased to announce that
it has entered into an option agreement with MagNor Resources (MagNor) dated
October 26
, 2020
(the "Agreement") whereby Canada Silver Cobalt may earn an undivided 100% Interest, subject to a
2% NSR, in the MagNor's B2 property in
Quebec
, Canada. The property has 12 claims totaling 670
hectares (6.7km
2
). The Agreement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange ("Exchange") acceptance.
Highlights of Property
The NNW-SSE mineralized zone is traceable along strike over 1 kilometer and is open in all
directions.
A stripped zone exposed a length of
35m
of massive sulphides 8-
10m
wide.
A total of 6 grab samples were sent to ALS Laboratory in
Val-d'Or
for analysis of a package of
multi-elements. Assay results returned massive Ni-Cu-Co mineralization (see Figure):
1.05 % Ni, 0.13 % Cu, 0.10 % Co
0.96 % Ni, 0.10 % Cu, 0.09 % Co
0.69 % Ni, 0.62 % Cu, 0.19 % Co
for the epithermal veinlets associated with quartz injections:
9.28 % Cu, 18.2 g/t Ag, 0.34 g/t Au
2.97 % Cu, 5.7 g/t Ag, 0.29 g/t Au, 0.10 % Ni
Anomalous values in Ti (1.1 %), P (0.45 %) and Mn (0.12 %) in mylonitic ferro-gabbro with
0.14% Cu associated with mineralization in pyrrhotite, pyrite and chalcopyrite stringers (5-10 %)
The B2 Ni Cu property contains new showings for Ni-Cu-Co that were discovered in
August 2019
by
Alain Berclaz
&
Frederic Bergeron
. It is located in NTS 22E11 of the Saguenay Lac-St-Jean region
of
Quebec
. The property is easily accessed by well-maintained logging roads and forest trails from
the KM92 of the Passes Road (R250 & R251).
"With the increasing demand of lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles (EV), optioning this property
fits well within the company's battery metal development program" said
Frank J. Basa
, P.Eng CEO.
"With high-grade near-surface mineralization, the company has mobilized a geological team to the
site to plan an exploration program."
Mineralization on the property is of three types
1
.
Magmatic Ni-Cu-Co associated with anorthosite consisting of massive sulphides up to
5m
wide,
composed of 65-90% coarse-grained pyrrhotite (-pentlandite), pyrite, chalcopyrite and 10-30%
host rock fragments.
2
.
Magmatic Fe(-Ti-P-V) associated with anorthosite, leuco-gabbro, gabbronorite, norite and
pyroxenite consisting of up to
5m
-thick layers, lenses and veins of massive oxides (mainly
magnetite).
3
.
Epithermal Cu-Ag-Au associated with late pegmatitic quartz veins and monzogranite consisting
of up to
1m
-thick, semi-massive, brecciated stockwork, veinlets, and stringers of pyrite,
chalcopyrite and bornite.
Terms of the Agreement
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may exercise the option with MagNor as
follows:
On Closing, making a payment of
$62,500
(1)
;
24 months from Closing, making a payment of

$100,000
in Exploration Expenditures on the
Ni Cu property;
(1)
Payment can be made in cash or through the issuance of Canada Silver Cobalt shares at a price per common share equal to the volume weighted average trading price of
the Company's shares on the Exchange for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date, at the option of the Company.
All securities issued in connection with this transaction will be subject to a four month and a day hold
period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

About Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc.
www.canadasilvercobaltworks.com
Canada Silver Cobalt Works released the first-ever resource in the Gowganda Camp and greater
Cobalt Camp in
May 2020
. 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 Robinson Zone beginning at a vertical depth of approximately
400 meters was calculated. The discovery remains open in all directions (1A and
1B
are
approximately 800 meters from the east-trending Capitol Mine workings) (mineral resources that are
not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability) (refer to Canada Silver Cobalt
Works Press Release
May 28, 2020
). Canada Silver Cobalt's flagship Castle mine and 78 sq. km
Castle Property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold and copper in the
prolific past-producing
Gowganda
high-grade Silver District of
Northern Ontario
. With underground
access at Castle, 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.
