Akash Patel, CEO of Cameo Cobalt stated: “The Company is ecstatic to announce the expansion of its Chilean land package. Cameo Cobalt now has a material presence in two of the three historic Chilean cobalt production regions. This acquisition signals to the marketplace Cameo Cobalt’s commitment to cobalt exploration in the Southern hemisphere. Management would like to note that the electric vehicle revolution is still in its infancy, yet cobalt production remains in a deficit position. Cameo is also pleased to convey that Company representatives are scheduling site visits to both the Carrizal and Montreal projects, with the objective of expediting exploration efforts and advancing regional relationships.”

Cameo Cobalt is also pleased to provide a regional update on its Carrizal Cobalt Project.

Genlith’s Carrizal Alto development plans include expedited drilling and dimensioning programs on high-grade past producing mines with the objective of providing a clear path to full-scale production.
