Canada Silver Cobalt Begins Outcrop Stripping, Channel Sampling, and Prepares for Diamond Drilling at Its Eby-Otto Gold Property

2022-09-03 01:16:52 By : Ms. Jaxcy Yang main

The Eby-Otto property is located in a prime geological setting with mineralized veins identified at surface, and is proximal to both the Cadillac-Larder Lake Break and an existing high-grade gold mine.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTCQB: CCWOF) (FSE: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") announces that it recently began advancing the field work component of Phase 1 for its exploration plan at the Eby-Otto gold property near Kirkland Lake.

To date, the Company has:

The Company has previously outlined the three exploration phases planned for the property:

Phase 1: The first phase will consist of an initial site assessment to determine the logistics of future operations and will provide the Company time to receive any pending surface exploration work permits that will be necessary. Surveying will be completed for key Standard Iron Bars (SIB), legacy claim posts, and access points to refresh select existing cut line grids. An overall geological assessment will be completed based on field work consisting of geological mapping, stripping key outcrops, and possibly further MMI geochemical or targeted and detailed ground geophysics if the technical team deems it necessary. As part of Phase 1, the Company has recently concluded a drone magnetic survey on the entire claim package conducted by EarthEx Geophysical Solutions Inc. The survey was completed at a tight enough line spacing and low enough altitude conducive for identifying smaller structures, such as vein systems, to be resolved and visible.

Phase 2: The second phase of exploration will be based on the results from Phase 1 and will expand to include diamond drilling to intercept specific regional structures based on the initial geophysical data provided by the drone magnetic survey, historic geological data, regional geophysics, geological mapping, and existing electromagnetic (EM) surveys completed by geologist Doug Robinson prior to the Company's acquisition of the property.

Phase 3: The third phase of exploration will expand on the drilling and field work outlined in Phase 2. Once the 3D inversion of the drone mag survey is received and the data has been interpreted, the technical team will correlate this data with known mineralization that has been identified via field work to better refine the targets, and adjust the exploration accordingly.

The Company now has three option agreements covering 1,000 ha at the Eby-Otto property, and includes approximately 5km of strike length along the Eby-Otto Fault and along a major alteration trend (OGS OFR 6184). The property is within the Kirkland Lake gold district in northeastern Ontario and is located within 5km of Agnico-Eagle's producing, high-grade Macassa Gold Mine.

The technical information in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Matthew Halliday, P.Geo., (PGO), President and COO of Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc., a qualified person in accordance with National Instrument 43-101.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV:CCW,OTCQB:CCWOF,FWB:4T9B) has 100 percent ownership of the past-producing silver-cobalt Castle mine and the 78 sq. km Castle Property with strong exploration upside in the prolific past producing Gowganda high-grade Silver Camp of Northern Ontario.

The Company's acquisition of the Temiskaming Testing Laboratories (TTL) in Cobalt, Ontario, the only facility in the Northern Ontario Silver-Cobalt District that combines bullion pouring, bulk sampling, commercial assaying and e-waste processing, makes Canada Silver Cobalt a vertically integrated leader in Canada's Silver-Cobalt heartland.

The company also has the Re-2OX Process, an environmentally friendly solution for producing technical grade cobalt sulphate as well as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations.

The company recently announced that it has engaged SGS Canada's Lakefield Testing Facility to design a Re-2Ox pilot plant, and to continue testing test the Re-2Ox process for expanded uses.

A notable highlight of recent drilling on the property is the discovery in the Castle East Robinson Zone of massive native silver grades of up to 89,853 g/t silver (2,621 oz/ton) over 0.3 meters, with intercepts also showing cobalt grades up to 2.2 percent Co. Further drilling has greatly expanded the potential scale of the discovery.

Drill core with 89,853 g/t silver over 0.3 meters

On May 28, 2020, the company announced a sizeable Maiden Inferred Resource estimate of 7.6 million ounces of high-grade silver grading an extraordinary 8,582 g/t (250.2 oz/ton) silver the highest-grade silver resource in the world. The company is intending to update this resource estimate based on the 60,000-meter drill program completed at the property – and the discovery of several new high-grade silver veins – since the initial resource estimate (which was based on only one vein).

The Robinson Zone is 1.5 km east of the Castle Mine's adit and two of its previous mine shafts when it was a past producer in the 1900s. The company intends to restart the mine and is proceeding with various work including permitting towards the goal.

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (TSX:AEM) operated the Castle mine in the 1980s when it was considered to be the highest-grade silver mine in the camp with an average mining grade over 10 years of 26 ounces per ton silver (approx.800 grams per tonne silver). In its history, the mine produced 9.6 million oz silver and 300,000 lbs of cobalt as a by-product.

CCW is in a good position to take high-grade ore and process it into silver bars at TTL. In its initial years in the Cobalt Camp, Agnico Eagle processed high-grade silver ore at the TTL bulk facility and poured 1.6 million oz of silver annually into bars using TTL's bullion furnace. Other companies also produced another 1 million oz silver per year.

CCW’s TTL Facility in Cobalt, Ontario

Also in the works at CCW is the design, planning and permitting for a ramp going down to the extremely high-grade silver discovery in the Robinson Zone at Castle East at about the 500 meter level.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV:CCW, OTCQB:CCWOF, FWB:4T9B) is a dual-focus silver and battery metals (nickel, copper, cobalt) exploration/development company with operations in Northern Ontario and Quebec.

These metals are all classified as energy metals involved in the electrification trend underway around the world and they will continue to be in demand for many years to come.

The Company has two major projects underway – Castle East and Graal – with exciting announcements in the coming weeks/months.

Canada Silver Cobalt is following a fast-track development model in Ontario towards producing silver along with battery metal cobalt as a byproduct – both 'energy' metals needed to advance the world's alternative energy future.

Instead of the traditional route taken by mining companies to stretch out development over many years in a series of steps – exploration drilling, then resource studies, then engineering studies, followed by permitting – Canada Silver Cobalt is doing all of these at the same time in what it describes as “real time" mine development.

As the Company conducts its drill program and advances the resource estimate at its spectacular high-grade silver-cobalt deposit at Castle East, it also is doing the environmental studies and preparing the applications for permits to construct a ramp down to the 500-meter level in order to extract the very high-grade silver-cobalt it has discovered there. The Company is also working on the engineering for the ramp and organizing contractors for constructing the ramp when the permits are received. Once the high-grade material is extracted, the Company can use its 100 percent owned “mini-mill" facility nearby which during past mining in the area produced as much as 2.5 million ounces of silver annually for mining companies when it operated as a government facility in the 1900s.

If all goes well, Canada Silver Cobalt could be producing enough silver to pay for the ramp construction in a very short time frame and also fund additional exploration/development of its properties.

The Company is also working on optimizing its proprietary, environmentally-compliant Re-2Ox extraction process technology which has been proven in lab tests to produce cobalt sulphate (and nickel and copper sulphates) in line with the strict specifications –for both quality and environmentally -- manufacturers require for EV batteries.

The Company also has other initiatives underway that will advance its position in the precious and battery metals market including exploration of gold properties in Ontario and nickel-copper-cobalt properties in northern Quebec.

The Castle mine has fully-permitted access to its underground workings, providing the company with a significant advantage when it comes to putting the mine back into production. CCW has used its adit access for underground drilling and bulk sampling on Level 1 in preparation to resume mining.

Underground drilling on Level 1 at Castle recently discovered an exceptionally high-grade silver-cobalt vein structure. Initial drill results include seven meters grading 2.28 percent cobalt, 261 g/t silver and 1.65 percent nickel, 2.54 meters grading 1.87 percent cobalt, 4,763 g/t silver, 1.29 percent nickel and 1.19 g/t gold and 0.60 meters grading 3.16 percent cobalt and 10,741 g/t silver.

In a surprising development, high-grade gold of up to 22.7 g/t was unexpectedly discovered – along with high-grade cobalt, silver and nickel – in underground drilling on Level 1 in late 2019 (results announced on January 3, 2020).

In addition to the company's exploration efforts, CCW is working on obtaining an amendment to its existing advanced exploration permit so the company can move ahead with its proposed tailings program. Recent testing of material from the Castle mine's historical tailings pond has returned a calculated head assay of 459 g/t silver and produced a high-purity flotation concentrate grading 18,486 g/t silver with an initial recovery of 70 percent.

The company's on-site proprietary gravity separation pilot plant has produced an 8.25 percent cobalt concentrate from a waste pile left by previous operators. Head grades of the material from the waste pile tested graded 0.390 percent cobalt and 1,905 g/t silver.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works is led by Chairman and CEO Frank Basa, who has over 30 years of global experience in mining and development as a professional hydro-metallurgical engineer with expertise in milling, gravity concentration, flotation, leaching and refining of silver, cobalt, gold and other metals. Basa is also responsible for developing the company's proprietary Re-2OX hydrometallurgical process, an environmentally-friendly approach to extracting metals without the need of a smelter.

The battery industry has specific criteria that needs to be met in terms of its materials. For lithium-ion batteries it is necessary for companies to produce a 20 percent cobalt sulfate with limited arsenic. Canada Silver Cobalt Works has been able to demonstrate that its Re-2OX process is capable of producing a battery-grade 22.6 percent cobalt sulfate meeting these industry specifications.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works' portfolio also includes the Beaver and Violet silver-cobalt projects, both past-producers in the Cobalt camp.

The 78 square-kilometer Castle cobalt-silver project is located in the historic Gowganda mining camp, 85 kilometers northwest of Cobalt, Ontario. The camp was responsible for more than 50 million ounces of high-grade silver production in the 1900s. Infrastructure on and near the property includes year-round access to roads, water, diesel power, three shafts and an adit.

Two geological trends have been identified on the property including a north-south trending Nipissing diabase intrusive, which is the typical host rock for silver-cobalt-nickel deposits in the area, and a potential gold trend along the Bloom Lake fault.

The project hosts the historical Castle mine, a former silver-cobalt mine that has reportedly produced 300,000 pounds of cobalt and 9.5 million ounces of silver. Historic underground ore grades averaged 25 ounces per tonne silver between 1923 and 1930 and 26 ounces per tonne silver between 1979 and 1989. The Castle mine's previous owner, Agnico Eagle, ceased production in 1989 due to low silver prices (in the range of US$6 per ounce).

The Cobalt camp is primarily comprised of cobalt veins that contain varying amounts of silver. In the past, miners focused on veins that contained high-grade silver and ignored the low-grade silver veins even though they contained high-grade cobalt. Cobalt was not considered important at the time and routine drill core assays only focused on silver content.

Despite the past-production at Castle, the property remains largely underexplored and may host several significant high-grade underground cobalt and silver deposits.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works is the only company in the Cobalt camp to have fully-permitted underground access via an adit. This allows for easy entry into the mine for extracting bulk samples and exploratory drilling to target new discoveries. Access to the underground workings also speeds up the time to production as CCW won't have to spend time establishing the mine adits. Drilling from underground can also be less costly and provides greater probability of success. CCW has mapped previously discovered veins using its extensive database which contains all of the past drilling and mine workings from the early 1900s.

Throughout 2018 and 2019, Canada Silver Cobalt Works conducted underground drilling at the Castle mine. Twenty-five percent of the assayed holes returned high-grade intercepts of 1.77 meters grading 1.05 percent to 3.7 percent cobalt. Additional drilling highlights include:

TTL: Silver Mini-Mill with Bullion Furnace to Produce Silver Dore Bars

With the goal of realizing the company's vision of becoming a vertically-integrated leader in North America, Canada Silver Cobalt Works has acquired Temiskaming Testing Labs (formerly PolyMet Labs), an ISO-certified lab facility with mineral and precious metals processing located in Cobalt, Ontario.

The 23,000-square-foot facility provides bullion pouring, bulk sampling, commercial assaying and bullion pouring services to mining operations in the area.

CCW was also able to recover cobalt from the same mineralized waste material using its Re-2OX process. The recovered materials were then sent to SGS Lakefield to produce a cobalt sulfate.

The Re-2OX hydrometallurgical process

The Re-2OX hydrometallurgical process is designed to recover multiple metals and elements from all types of feedstocks with varying chemistries. The process was developed by Canada Silver Cobalt Works CEO Frank Basa – initially in conjunction with the National Research Council of Canada (NRC), Canada's premier scientific research organization and then later through his own refinements.

In May 2018, Canada Silver Cobalt Works announced that the Re-2OX process had successfully recovered 99 percent cobalt and 81 percent nickel from a composite of gravity concentrates. The process was also successful in removing 99 percent of arsenic, placing the company in a competitive position as battery manufacturers prefer to use cobalt with low arsenic contents.

The Beaver silver-cobalt project is located in Ontario's historic Cobalt mining camp, adjacent to the former Timiskaming silver mine and approximately 80 kilometers southeast of the past-producing Castle mine. The project itself includes a former producer, the Beaver mine, which produced 7.1 million ounces of silver and 139,472 pounds of cobalt from 1907 to 1940.

High-grade mineralization has been repeatedly confirmed at Beaver. In 2017, selected hand-cobbed sample material at surface averaged 4.68 percent cobalt, 46.9 g/t silver, 3.09 percent nickel, 46.9 g/t silver and 0.08 g/t gold.

This follows sampling of historical waste rock and tailings at Beaver in 2013 that returned 7.98 percent cobalt, 3.98 percent nickel and 1,246 g/t silver.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works also holds the formerly producing Violet silver-cobalt mine located near the Beaver property in the Cobalt mining camp.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTCQB: CCWOF) (FSE: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") is pleased to provide an update on its initial exploration work at five properties with EV battery metals potential in Québec.

Canada Silver Cobalt owns 14 battery metals properties in Quebec totalling 31,201 hectares.

The Company has begun grassroots exploration on four properties located on the North Shore (Côte-Nord) of the St. Lawrence River: Grande Portage, LPM-LPMN, Boudrias (North and South) and B30 Shear. The technical team used existing logging roads and ATV/walking trails, and activities included access reconnaissance, prospecting favorable rock types, and using the Beep Mat to locate conductors. On select properties where conductive rock was identified using the Beep Mat tool, channel samples were taken with a rock saw. The team collected 35 samples which have been sent to a laboratory and assay results will be disclosed once received and validated.

The Beep Mat is a robust exploration tool that enhances geological mapping and prospecting activities. It detects magnetic and conductive bedrock underneath the location that it traverses. It provides real-time EM and magnetic data that can be used to identify prospective outcrops that might not otherwise be visible if covered with overburden.

The fifth property - Lowney-Lac Edouard - is located in central Quebec, East of La Tuque, and is where a helicopter VTEM survey has been completed. The preliminary maps of the survey have been provided and the Company is awaiting the final report from Geotech. Five anomalies are identified with the VTEM System B-Field Z-data profiles map. The Company plans to follow-up the results of the geophysical survey once the data has been reviewed.

"This has been quite an energetic year for Canada Silver Cobalt, filled with activities at five other battery metals properties besides our flagship Graal property in Quebec and at the Castle silver-cobalt and Eby-Otto gold properties in Ontario. We are proud of our technical team for accomplishing so much this year. We plan to keep the momentum going and can't wait to show you the results of our exploration work as we receive them and our progress in other exciting developments for our Company," stated Matthew Halliday, P.Geo., President and Chief Operating Officer.

Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. recently discovered a major high-grade silver vein system at Castle East located 1.5 km from its 100%-owned, past-producing Castle Mine near Gowganda in the prolific and world-class silver-cobalt mining district of Northern Ontario. The Company has completed a 60,000m drill program aimed at expanding the size of the deposit with an update to the resource estimate underway.

In May 2020, based on a small initial drill program, the Company published the region's first 43-101 resource estimate that contained a total of 7.56 million ounces of silver in Inferred resources, comprising very high-grade silver (8,582 grams per tonne un-cut or 250.2 oz/ton) in 27,400 tonnes of material from two sections (1A and 1B) of the Castle East Robinson Zone, beginning at a vertical depth of approximately 400 meters. Note that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Press Release May 28, 2020, for the resource estimate. Report reference: Rachidi, M. 2020, NI 43-101 Technical Report Mineral Resource Estimate for Castle East, Robinson Zone, Ontario, Canada, with an effective date of May 28, 2020, and a signature date of July 13, 2020.

The Company also has: (1) 14 battery metals properties in Northern Quebec where it has recently completed an almost 15,000-metre drill program on the Graal property and an airborne VTEM geophysical survey is being conducted at it Lowney-Lac Edouard property; and (2) the prospective 1,000-hectare Eby-Otto gold property close to Agnico Eagle's high-grade Macassa Mine near Kirkland Lake, Ontario where it is is exploring in 2022.

Canada Silver Cobalt's flagship silver-cobalt Castle mine and 78 sq. km Castle Property feature strong exploration upside for silver, cobalt, nickel, gold, and copper. With underground access at the fully owned Castle Mine, an exceptional high-grade silver discovery at Castle East, a pilot plant to produce cobalt-rich gravity concentrates, a processing facility (TTL Laboratories) in the town of Cobalt, and a proprietary hydrometallurgical process known as Re-2Ox (for the creation of technical-grade cobalt sulphate as well as nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) formulations), Canada Silver Cobalt is strategically positioned to become a Canadian leader in the silver-cobalt space.

The purchase of a 10-acre industrial-zoned property with direct Highway 11 access will allow Canada Silver Cobalt abundant area for core handling and more efficient use of space

Coquitlam, BC TheNewswire - August 25, 2022 - Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV:CCW) (OTC:CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Silver Cobalt") announces that it has closed its acquisition to acquire a 10-acre (4 hectare) property fronting Highway 11 near Cobalt, ON, that will be used as the central hub for all of the Company's Ontario and Quebec operations for a cash consideration of $265,000 which sum represents the value of the property of $465,000, less $200,000 in previously paid lease payments.

The Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement on December 6, 2021, which was revised on April 26, 2022, and further amended on August 23, 2022 to reflect the revised purchase price and the previous lease payments that were made.

The property houses a 4,000 square-foot, fully serviced warehouse that is currently being leased by the Company and used as its main core processing facility. The access to Highway 11 allows for easy transportation of core, samples, and distribution of Company staff to projects across Ontario and Quebec. The property is located on the power grid and does not require any generators. The location is close to Timiskaming Shores and Cobalt, ON and provides easy access to supplies and amenities for Company staff. The property also contains an extra building.

The warehouse has already been converted into a full-service facility that fits the Company's current needs, but will also allow for further expansion as the Company grows. The facility is being used for offices, core logging, sampling, core cutting, and long-term core storage - all located on site.

The purchase of the property is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange. The vendor of the property is a company controlled by a family member of one of the directors and officers of the Company.

TinOne Resources Inc. (TSX-V: TORC) (OTCQB: TORCF) (" TinOne " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the "Definitive Agreement") whereby TinOne will acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Rattler Range tin project (" Rattler Range ") in northeastern Tasmania, Australia .

" We are extremely excited to add the Rattler Range tin project to the TinOne portfolio and increase our land holdings in the well-endowed Northeast Tasmania tin province," stated Chris Donaldson , TinOne's Executive Chairman. "Rattler Range underpins our key strategy of acquiring known historical tin districts and applying modern exploration techniques to unlock value."

The Rattler Range project, consisting of a 32km 2 exploration license (EL10/2019), is a highly prospective tin project in northeastern Tasmania, Australia and located only 64km from the city of Launceston. Historical records 1 indicate the presence of 47 individual named tin occurrences across a 12km long, northwesterly oriented mineralized trend that has seen very little on-ground exploration since the 1980s. The district contains hard rock greisen and vein mineralization in a cupola zone of highly fractionated, evolved granite.

High priority initial targets include Bells Hill where multiple mineralized lodes, 1.5 to 6 metres wide, occur over an area of at least 500m of strike length. No systematic exploration has been conducted and only 2 drill holes have been completed at the prospect. Other priority targets include the multi-kilometer scale tin-bearing alteration zones at Ruby Flats, Walsh's , Mammoth and Mt Paris.

The Company's geological team will mobilize to the field in coming weeks to undertake initial reconnaissance mapping and rock sampling to define priorities for detailed follow up. It is anticipated that these programs will define quality targets for drilling in future campaigns.

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, TinOne will acquire a 100% undivided interest in the Rattler Range tin project in consideration for the issuance of C$100,000 of common shares in the capital of the Company (the " Consideration Shares "). The deemed value of the Consideration Shares shall be the greater of (i) the

15-day volume weighted average price of the Company's common shares on TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ") on the day prior to the closing date, and (ii) $0.10 , being the closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSXV on Aug 29, 2022 .

Additionally, TinOne has agreed to grant the Rattler Range vendor a 2% net smelter returns royalty over the project (the " NSR "). TinOne will have the right, at any time upon notice being given to the NSR holder, to repurchase 1/2 of the NSR for C$1,000,000 in cash.

The acquisition of Rattler Range is subject to satisfaction of certain closing conditions including, among other things, the approval of the TSXV. All securities issued in connection with the Definitive Agreement are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance. It is anticipated that the acquisition will close in September, 2022.

The Company also announces that it has granted 2,190,000 incentive stock options to certain Directors, Employees, Consultants and Advisors of the Company. The incentive stock options will vest over a period of two years, have an exercise price of $0.10 per share, and are valid for a 5-year period from the date of grant. The options were granted pursuant to the Company's incentive stock option plan and are subject to regulatory approval.

TinOne is a TSX Venture listed Canadian public company with a high-quality portfolio of tin and gold projects in the Tier 1 mining jurisdictions of Tasmania and New South Wales, Australia . The Company is  focussed on advancing its highly prospective portfolio through aggressive exploration programs.

These forward‐looking statements or information relate to, among other things: the development of the Company's projects, including drilling programs and mobilization of drill rigs; future mineral exploration, development and production; and completion of a maiden drilling program.

Forward‐looking statements and forward‐looking information relating to any future mineral production, liquidity, enhanced value and capital markets profile of TinOne, future growth potential for TinOne and its business, and future exploration plans are based on management's reasonable assumptions, estimates, expectations, analyses and opinions, which are based on management's experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances, but which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made regarding, among other things, the price of gold and other metals; no escalation in the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic; costs of exploration and development; the estimated costs of development of exploration projects; TinOne's ability to operate in a safe and effective manner and its ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms.

These statements reflect TinOne's respective current views with respect to future events and are necessarily based upon a number of other assumptions and estimates that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies. Many factors, both known and unknown, could cause actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from the results, performance or achievements that are or may be expressed or implied by such forward‐looking statements or forward-looking information and TinOne has made assumptions and estimates based on or related to many of these factors. Such factors include, without limitation: the Company's dependence on early stage mineral projects; metal price volatility; risks associated with the conduct of the Company's mining activities in Australia ; regulatory, consent or permitting delays; risks relating to reliance on the Company's management team and outside contractors; risks regarding mineral resources and reserves; the Company's inability to obtain insurance to cover all risks, on a commercially reasonable basis or at all; currency fluctuations; risks regarding the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from operations; risks relating to project financing and equity issuances; risks and unknowns inherent in all mining projects, including the inaccuracy of reserves and resources, metallurgical recoveries and capital and operating costs of such projects; contests over title to properties, particularly title to undeveloped properties; laws and regulations governing the environment, health and safety; the ability of the communities in which the Company operates to manage and cope with the implications of COVID-19; the economic and financial implications of COVID-19 to the Company; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities; employee relations, labour unrest or unavailability; the Company's interactions with surrounding communities and artisanal miners; the Company's ability to successfully integrate acquired assets; the speculative nature of exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; stock market volatility; conflicts of interest among certain directors and officers; lack of liquidity for shareholders of the Company; litigation risk; and the factors identified under the caption "Risk Factors" in TinOne's management discussion and analysis. Readers are cautioned against attributing undue certainty to forward‐looking statements or forward-looking information. Although TinOne has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. TinOne does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward‐looking statements or forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions or changes in circumstances or any other events affecting such statements or information, other than as required by applicable law.

In total, the Company has closed on 16,630,000 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,326,000 . The Company has also closed the acquisition of the Rinconcita II mining concession area ("Rinconcita II") located on the Salar de Rincon in Salta Province Argentina from provincially-owned company Recursos Energéticos y Mineros Salta S.A. ("REMSA"), as previously announced by the Company on July 21, 2022 .

Each Unit consists of one common share and one transferrable common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional common share in the capital of the Company at $0.38 per share for two years from the date of issue, expiring on August 25, 2024 for this Final Tranche.

No Finder's Fees were paid in the Final Tranche. In total, $36,260 were paid in cash on a portion of the private placement to parties at arm's length to the Company. In addition, 181,300 non-transferable finder's warrants were issued (the "Finder's Warrants"). Each Finder's Warrant entitles a finder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.38 per share for two years from the date of issue, expiring on August 25, 2024 .

There were no insiders who participated in the Final Tranche, however, certain insiders of the Company participated in the Private Placement for $20,000 in Units. Such participation represents a related-party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (" MI 61-101 "), but the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the transaction, nor the consideration paid, exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

A new Control Person on a diluted basis was created in this tranche. This individual has agreed that he will not exercise any of the Warrants if such exercise will result in his beneficially owning or having control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Company which is 20% or greater of the total issued and outstanding voting securities of the Company, immediately after giving effect to such exercise, or result in the undersigned becoming a "Control Person" as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange").

This financing is subject to regulatory approval and all securities to be issued pursuant to this Final Tranche of the financing are subject to a four-month hold period expiring on December 27, 2022 .

The proceeds of the financing were used, in part, to complete the acquisition of Rinconcita II from REMSA. The balance of the proceeds will be used for general working capital and exploration on its properties in Argentina . In consideration for the acquisition of Rinconcita II, the Company made a payment to REMSA of USD$2,500,000 and granted REMSA a 3% net smelter return of mineral and refined products sourced from Rinconcita II over its production life, if the property advances to the production stage. The Company's acquisition of Rinconcita II is subject to the final acceptance of the Exchange which should be available upon filing of a signed copy of the agreement with the Exchange.
