King’s Bay Receives Permit Approval For Lynx Lake Cu, Co Project in Labrador
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - King’s Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG), (FSE: KGB1), operating as “King’s Bay”, a mining exploration and development company based in Vancouver, announces approval from Newfoundland and Labrador Government, Department of Natural Resources for the commencement of an electromagnetic survey in south eastern Labrador.
The focus of the airborne survey is to locate high priority drill targets for its 100% owned Lynx Lake Copper, Cobalt project located 100km south east of Happy Valley Goose Bay, Labrador.
The Lynx Lake Project has returned historical grab samples assaying up to 1.39% Cu, 0.94% Co, 0.21% Ni and 6.5g/t Ag. Government regional low resolution residual magnetic surveys and preliminary handheld electromagnetic surveys done by local prospectors have shown strong conductors beneath the overburden, and provide incentive to explore the area further for additional subsurface mineralization. The Project is located directly adjacent to a 3 phase powerline and the Trans-Labrador Highway.
Company President Kevin Bottomley states “The granting of our permit is an important first step in the exploration process for King’s Bay. Our goal is to get working on all aspects of our Lynx Lake Copper / Cobalt property as soon as possible. The successful completion of our financing on January 3rd was a key component of that goal”.
King’s Bay will begin to prepare proposed flight line orientation and spacing for the upcoming drilling program and has begun to evaluate quotes from potential vendors.
About Cobalt
At this time, the price of cobalt is rising due to a combination of factors. Some of these factors are related to unsettled conditions in areas such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, where the majority of the world’s cobalt is recovered. Other factors include an increased demand for rechargeable batteries. A single rechargeable ion car battery contains as much as 20 kilograms of cobalt. In addition to batteries, cobalt is used in alloys for aircraft engine parts and for alloys with corrosion/wear resistant uses. Cobalt also has many medical uses; cobalt isotopes are used to produce stable dichromatic beams in “cobalt therapy”, which is used to treat cancer. Molybdenum is also an important element of interest and can be used in fertilizer as well as battery electrodes.
