ABOUT THE RAMSAY PROJECT
The 8,000-hectare Ramsay project is well situated on the edge of the prolific Bathurst mining camp (BMC) located in northern New Brunswick, approximately 25 kilometers west of the Caribou mine operated by Trevali Mining Corp. With paved road access and nearby electric power, the project is close to well-developed infrastructure and is in a mining-friendly jurisdiction.
Nine holes were drilled on the Ramsay cobalt property by previous workers in 2004. Reported results include: 0.8 metres grading 0.956% cobalt within a 4.8 metres grading 0.352% cobalt (Hole M04-04). Such higher-grade zones typically occur within wider core intervals ranging to 24.8 m grading 0.180% cobalt and 0.182% copper.

Cobalt prices recently reached a 10 year high of $42.75 US per pound and have shown a steady increase since the mid-point of 2015. As a vital component of many of the lithium-ion batteries used in a wide range of applications from cell phones to electric vehicles (EV), demand for Cobalt is anticipated to remain strong. Currently over 60% of the global supply of cobalt is sourced from mines operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Political instability in the DRC coupled with social-economic issues have led many consumers towards securing supply in safer regions.
