About Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc.
Nord Precious Metals Mining Inc. (formerly Canada Silver Cobalt Works I nc.) 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 60,000 m 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 u n-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 and do not have demonst rated
economic viability. Please refer to the Nord Precious Metals (previously 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 16,000-metre drill program on the Graal property, which is now part of Coniagas Battery
Metals; (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; and (3) St. Denis-Sangster lithium project
– 260 square kilometers of greenfield exploration ground with numerous pegmatites focussed along a
significant volcanic sedimentary rock – Archean granite contact near Cochrane, Ontario contiguous to
Power Metals’ Case Lake Lithium properties.
Nord Precious Metal 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 Ea st, 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), Nord Precious Metals is strategically positioned to become
a Canadian leader in the silver -cobalt space. More information is available at
