Cobalt Power Group Announces Discovery of New Mineralized Zone at Smith
Cobalt, Updates Drilling Progress
TSX.V: CPO, Pink Sheets: CBBWF
VANCOUVER, July 17, 2017 /CNW/ - Cobalt Power Group Inc. (the "Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC
Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to announce that a new mine ralized zone has been found on the Smith Cobalt
project in Cobalt, Ontario. The zone was discovered on surface 800 m southeast of the Smith Cobalt
shaft. Approximately 4000 m² surrounding the zone were cleared and work is continuing so that detailed
mapping and systematic channel sampling can be carr ied out. This will allow the Company to develop a
drill strategy for the new zone.
The initial discovery was a single calcite vein, approximately 10 cm wide, with abundant cobalt bloom.
The vein is located in Archean Keewatin volcanics, trending at an azimuth of approximately 340° and
dipping at 85° to the southwest. A channel sample taken across the vein assayed 12.5% Co, 82.2 g/t Ag,
4.99 g/t Au, 0.53% Ni, as well as >1% Bi and >1.0% As. Clearing of the area led to the discovery of a
major shear zone trending at an azimuth of 050° and cutting across the vein. Further, extensive vein
swarms, with a variety of orientations, have been uncovered. Outcrops of the Nipissing sill occur in the
immediate vicinity of the zone. Pictures of the newly discovered mineralized zone can be viewed on the
company website, www.cobaltpowergroup.com.
"The discovery of an additional mineralized zone on our Smith Cobalt project is fantastic news for our
company," comments Andy Rompel, President & CEO. "A ligning these new veins with the already known
veins at the historic Smith Cobalt mine will expand our knowledge of the silver- and cobalt-bearing
mineralization."
Also, the previously announced drill program at Smi th Cobalt has been completed, with a total of 1897 m
drilled in nine drill holes. Core logging and sampling is close to completion. Assays are pending and
results will be released once they have been received and reviewed by the company.

About the Smith Cobalt Project
The Smith Cobalt project is underlain by a sequence of Archaean volcanics which are uncomformably
overlain by Huronian sediments. These formations ha ve been intruded by the Proterozoic-age Nipissing
diabase sill. Faulting, on both a regional and local scale, has been found by surface mapping and in d rill
cores. Polymetallic veining, and especially pinkish-white carbonate veins, has also been reported. Thus,
all the necessary geological components of accepted mineralization models for cobalt-silver have been
identified on the properties.
