M2 Cobalt completes initial 2,000 metres of diamond drilling

During its phase 1 work programs, the Company targeted 3 distinct styles of mineralization; volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") copper-cobalt at its Kilembe-area properties, Katanga-style sediment hosted, copper-cobalt mineralization at Bujagali as well as ultramafic nickel, copper and cobalt at Bombo. The Company’s phase 1 drill program is designed to further test key targets in each style of mineralization and to position the Company to embark on a larger Phase 2 drill program.

Simon Clarke, CEO said, “We are very pleased with the progress made in 2018 through our in-depth work programs, where we brought the latest exploration technologies and techniques into this highly under-explored region, as well as this first phase of our initial drill program. Once the results from this initial phase of drilling are received and reviewed, they will position us to launch our 2019 programs. We are excited to build on the progress made during 2018.”
