Hinterland confirms cobalt values at Chilton Cobalt property in Quebec
VAL D'OR, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Dec 6, 2016) - Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HMI) ("Hinterland") is pleased to announce that it has confirmed cobalt values documented in the Ministère de l'Énergie et des Ressources naturelles ("MERNQ") database (http://sigeom.mines.gouv.qc.ca) at the 7-claim (417-hectare) Chilton Cobalt property, located approximately 40 kilometres east of Saint-Jovite in the Laurentian region of Quebec. The property is accessible by paved highway (Provincial Route 125), and lies three kilometres south of the village of Notre-Dame-de-la-Merci.
The property is underlain primarily by gabbroic to anorthositic rocks belonging to the Morin Intrusive Suite; lesser quartzite is also present. All of these rocks are within the Grenville Province of the Canadian Shield. The property covers four documented cobalt-copper-nickel showings (SC-95-02, Chilton, Lac Sicotte and Lac du Marcheur). Grab samples collected by Hinterland in early November 2016 returned anomalous values from three of the four showings as follows:
| Showing | Cobalt ppm | Copper ppm | Nickel ppm |
| SC-95-02 | 946 | 3,220 | 3,270 |
| 887 | 2,320 | 4,210 | |
| Chilton | 672 | 2,450 | 2,050 |
| 953 | 2,290 | 3,770 | |
| Lac Sicotte | 432 | 1,090 | 1,910 |
| 242 | 3,730 | 1,000 |
All analytical work was completed at ISO 17025 accredited Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Ancaster, Ontario. Rock samples were prepared by crushing one kilogram to 90% passing 10 mesh and then pulverizing a 250g subsample to 95% passing 105 microns (Code RX1). Each subsample was analysed for 43 elements by total digestion, ICP-MS finish (Code 1EX/MA200).
