The property hosts parts of the past producing Kerr Lake Mine, and the Lawson Mine, which collectively produced an estimated 32.7 million ounces of silver, which represent just two of the numerous past producing mines that have operated over the past century in the Cobalt Camp.

Ore minerals occur in a wide variety of forms including massive pods, bands, dendrites, plates, leaves, and zoned rosettes.

Spiro Kletas, President and CEO, stated: "With the global expansion of the lithium battery industry, cobalt has become a strategic metal making this a very significant acquisition for us. Advancing a past producing opportunity in the historical Cobalt Mining Camp will not only give a new direction for us, but also build shareholder value as we look to further develop the asset in a sector which is poised to experience great growth and demand in the foreseeable future."

Cobalt is an essential component of the Li-ion batteries found in most small electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops and digital camera.

The acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including regulatory approvals.

The shares are trading at $0.215 and with 47.6 million sharesNRT outstanding, the company is capitalized at $10.2 million.
