TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - December 11, 2017) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. (the "Company" or "Cobalt 27") (TSX VENTURE: KBLT) (FRANKFURT: 27O) announced today that it has filed a prospectus supplement dated December 11, 2107 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated October 17, 2017 in respect of its previously announced offering co-led by TD Securities Inc. and Scotiabank on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters pursuant to which Cobalt 27 will issue 8,100,000 common shares on a "bought deal" basis at an issue price of $10.50 per common share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $85 million.

In addition, Cobalt 27 announced today that it has entered into agreements to purchase an additional 80 metric tonnes of physical cobalt for a total purchase price of approximately US$6.2 million (approximately $7.9 million). Taken together with the previously announced acquisition of 720 metric tonnes of cobalt pursuant to certain option agreements executed by the Company, the average price of the aggregate 800 metric tonnes of cobalt to be acquired by the Company pursuant to these transactions is US$36.28 per pound of cobalt, representing a slight discount to the Cobalt High Grade Metal Bulletin ask price of US$36.39 per pound on December 8, 2017.

Following completion of these acquisitions and the offering, the Company intends to increasingly focus on advancing its streaming business. It is management's belief that this acquisition of additional physical cobalt will further strengthen Cobalt 27's balance sheet in advance of potential streaming investment opportunities in 2018. In addition, management believes the strengthened balance sheet, size and liquidity will reduce Cobalt 27's cost of capital as it transitions to capitalize on streaming investment opportunities in 2018.

Closing of the offering is subject to customary regulatory and stock exchange approvals and is anticipated to occur on or about December 19, 2017.

The common shares of the Company have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This media release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the securities in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
