Cameo Resources Corp. Significantly Expands Cobalt Strategy with the Acquisition of Labrador Cobalt Corp.
May 14 2018 - 3:05AM
Cameo Resources Corp. (TSX Venture:CRU)
(OTC:CRUUF) (FWB:SY7D) (the “
Company” or
“
Cameo Resources”) is pleased to announce that
further to its strategic focus on cobalt, the Company has entered
into an agreement (the “
Agreement”) to acquire
Labrador Cobalt Corp., a privately-held corporation having its
registered offices in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. Upon
completion of the acquisition, Labrador Cobalt Corp. will become
the Company’s wholly-owned operating subsidiary in Newfoundland
& Labrador and will serve to advance the Company’s growing
portfolio of cobalt assets within the province.
Labrador is one of the world’s foremost
jurisdictions for cobalt exploration and production, with the
Voisey’s Bay mine being the largest present-day source of cobalt
production in Canada.
Recent land activity in the region by multiple
public and private companies signals the potential for significant
cobalt-centric exploration in Labrador over the months ahead.
The proposed acquisition of Labrador Cobalt
Corp. will immediately deliver a developed operating platform for
the Company and will result in a nearly 25-fold increase to the
Company’s tenure holdings in the region by way of integrating
Labrador Cobalt Corp.’s mineral land holdings.
Labrador Cobalt Corp. owns in excess of 4,000
hectares of claims in Labrador strategically situated north of the
Voisey’s Bay mine and near the Company’s current area of focus in
the province.
In addition to adding new exploration
opportunities in a tier-one cobalt camp, multiple cobalt showings
have already been discovered on tenure owned by Labrador Cobalt
Corp, as summarized below from government mineral file showings
(Newfoundland and Labrador geoscience atlas
http://geoatlas.gov.nl.ca).
The Puttuaalu Staircase showing had surface
sampling values that returned up to 0.16% Co.
The Alliger Lake showing has an extensive gossan
zone with past grab samples returning up to 0.16% Co. Nearby, the
Alliger Lake No. 4 produced an assay reaching 2.35% Cu, 0.44% Ni
and 0.12% Co.
The Kingurutik Lake N Zone is located on tenure
contiguous to tenure owned by Teck Corp., and has previous cobalt
sampling reaching 200 ppm Co. Nearby, the The Kingurutik Lake L
Zone had prior cobalt grab sample assays reaching 539 ppm Co.
Similarly, the Kingurutik Lake D zone had grab sample assays
reaching 577 ppm Co. All targets offer immediate cobalt exploration
potential.
The Cliff Zone target measures approximately 700
m by 900 m in a north-south direction. Past ground crews have
discovered that the strongest gossanous areas within the Cliff Zone
occur where mafic dykes up to 20 m thick have intruded the
structural zone. These dykes reportedly contain from 5%
disseminated sulphide to over 50% massive sulphide mineralization
consisting of pyrite, pyrrhotite and/or pentlandite, plus
chalcopyrite.
In addition to the above cobalt targets, mineral
lands owned by Labrador Cobalt Corp. also hold other mineral
showings identified in the area among which are the Black Beard
nickel-cobalt showing, the Moose nickel-cobalt showing, the NBK #3
nickel-cobalt showing.
Leading up to closing of the acquisition, the
Company will work in conjunction with Labrador Cobalt Corp. to
develop prospective exploration plans for their holdings north of
the Voisey’s Bay mine this summer.

The Company would also like to draw its
shareholders' attention to recent media reports which have
highlighted the potential for a $500 million cobalt streaming deal
on the Voisey’s Bay mine located in Labrador, see:

the Agreement and will issue 500,000 common shares upon closing of
the transaction. Closing of the transaction is subject to
