/CNW/ - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC:
CCWOF) (
Frankfurt
: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased to report that the
environmental baseline study at Castle East is on track. The company undertook a Gap Analysis late
2020. Canada Silver Cobalt has since initiated an environmental baseline study in February this year.
Highlights:
Phase I, Gap Analysis completed, consisting of initial site recon, planning of phase II and phase
III program
Significant progress with 10 monitoring well installations completed between
April 29
th
and
May
06
th
2021.
Phase II of III commenced on Q1, 2021 to complete environmental baseline study and
permitting. Multiple studies are currently underway.
The completed Gap Analysis has outlined multiple studies required to move the project forward.
Surface and Groundwater studies have begun with 10 monitoring wells having recently been drilled
allowing monthly sampling.
Underway:
Groundwater monitoring is to characterize the amount and chemistry of groundwater around the site,
this will assist in the ramp design process and the design of the water treatment system that will be
required to treat water from underground development.
Surface water study is to establish baseline conditions of the surrounding surface water bodies, and
feeds into the permitting for the industrial sewage work permit.
Aquatic studies are to establish the baseline conditions of the aquatic environment, including fish and
fish habitat, benthic invertebrates, and sediment quality.
Terrestrial studies establish the baseline conditions of the terrestrial environment, checking for
species at risk, ecological communities of conservation concern and significant wetlands.
Hydrology study of the surface water is conducted to establish the flow and hydraulic conditions of
the lakes and creeks. Stations have been set up on
Miller Lake
and surrounding outflow sites to be
monitored monthly.
Coming up:
Hydrogeological and geochemical studies will be commencing in the near future, Hydrogeology
establishes the hydrogeological conditions of the site and will enable the development of a numerical
hydrogeological model to support permitting.
Geochemistry studies are to determine the potential for Acid Rock Drainage (ARD) or metal leaching
allowing the Company to be proactive in determining the best measures to treat the rock.
Matthew Halliday
, P.Geo., VP Exploration and President of Canada Silver Cobalt Works,
commented, "I am pleased to announce the that the environmental permitting and baseline study at
Castle East is well under way. This has been an extremely busy year for Canada Silver Cobalt; not
only have we completed our Maiden Resource in
May 2020
but, since then, have drilled over 35,000
metres of the 60,000-metre program which will contribute significantly to a resource update. By
initiating these activities early, we will ensure that the permitting process will be smoother and
accomplished in a timely manner to take full advantage of this silver cycle. Canada Silver Cobalt
Works is excited to be working with all stakeholders on this important project to become one of
Ontario's
next critical metals producers in a timely, open and responsible manner."

About Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc.
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 were identified. The discovery remains open in all directions (mineral resources that are
not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability) (refer to Canada Silver Cobalt

May 28
, 2020. Report reference: Rachidi, M. 2020,

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 Castle mine and 78 sq. km Castle Property features 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.
