Canada Silver Cobalt Works Launches Re-2Ox
Website Focused on Battery Recycling

/CNW/ - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC:
CCWOF) (
Frankfurt
: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased to announce a
new website for the battery recycling initiative utilizing the proprietary, environmentally friendly
hydrometallurgical process. The Re-2Ox process has already been successfully used in the
development of a cobalt sulphate compound for end use in lithium-ion batteries. Now, the Company
is seeking to use this process in the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries and other recyclables that
contain metals of value.
Highlights
Re-2Ox website is now on-line
http://www.re-2ox.com/
Potentially 90 percent of recyclable battery material will be available for processing with no
known global recycling capacity availability
Re-2Ox process is amenable to feedstock of used battery material which is now widely
available
CEO
Frank J. Basa
, P.Eng., commented that "We strongly considered this initiative a few years ago
but initial research turned up a lack of feedstock at that time, but this has now changed. With
feedstock currently available and coupled with the Re-2Ox process, the path is clear for the
Company to develop what can be a robust and ever-increasing potential income stream by providing
future tolling services for the treatment of used batteries."
The percentage of a Li-ion battery's weight that comes from valuable cathode material is 30-40%
with the value of the lithium-ion battery market projected to be upwards of
$70 billion
next year
according to the International Energy Agency, US Department of Energy.
If current trends for handling these spent batteries do not change, the majority will end up in landfills
despite the fact that Li-ion batteries can be recycled. These batteries contain valuable metals and
other materials that can be recovered, processed, and re-used; however, little recycling goes on
today. The opportunity is right in front of us as the world stands at the inception of a mega-trend or
global shift away from carbon-producing transport to electrified transport. To date, the media focus
has been on the front-end savings without addressing the back end which has to be recognized if
green goals are to be fully realized. The Company sees this as a major opportunity that will grow
for decades as these now-established mega-trends continue to accelerate, not just in
North America
but around the world.
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, was identified. The discovery remains open in all directions (1A and
1B
are approximately 800 meters from the 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. 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
.
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.
