TORONTO, Aug. 22, 2018 - Cobalt Power Group Inc. ("Cobalt Power" or the "Company") (TSX.V: CPO, OTC Pink: CBBWF) is pleased to provide this update on the Company's summer field program.

Highlights

• Three grab samples collected on the Silver Eagle lease returned cobalt values of 0.54%, 0.35% and 0.26%.
• Two grab samples from the Crysler Niles shaft area returned copper values of 2.16% and 1.99% respectively. The higher-grade sample also assayed 0.204 g/t Au.
• Two grab samples on the border between the Smith Cobalt and Proteus properties returned gold values of 0.255 g/t and 0.165 g/t (also assayed 2.15 g/t Ag).

Chris M. Healey, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration and a Director of the Company commented, "Initial results from the summer field program have been very encouraging and will greatly assist in planning future work for our extensive land package in the Cobalt area."

The summer field program is being operated with a crew of seven geology students, supervised by a senior geologist and a senior prospector, and consists of mapping and sampling known historic showings, as well as systematic grid prospecting on other areas.  In addition, a soil sampling survey was completed on the Blueberry Lake property. The grad samples are selected samples and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property.

Assay results have been received from the first batch of samples submitted to AGAT Labs in Mississauga, ON.  Samples were analyzed by ICP-AES after a four-acid digestion.

In addition, an application for an Exploration Permit for drilling on the Silver Eagle mining lease has been submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines.  A drill program of 4-6 holes (total 1000m) is planned for the Fall of 2018.
