Regarding
Historical
Resources
Note
that
the
C1
and
C2
resource
esJmates
shown
are
historical
in
nature
and
do
not
use
categories
defined
in
Canadian
NaJonal
Instrument
43-‐101
Standards
of
Disclosure
for
Mineral
Projects
(“NI

and
accordingly
are
not
compliant
with
NI
43-‐101
or
Canadian
InsJtute
of
Mining,
Metallurgy
and
Petroleum
(“CIM”)
standards.
[The
exact
date
of
these
es=mates
is
unknown].
Historical
resource
esJmates
are
based
on
the
Russian
reserve
system
and
based
primarily
on
trench
and
prospecJng
samples
only.
These
resources
are
considered
historical
in
nature
under
NI
43-‐101
and
a
qualified
person
under
NI
43-‐101
has
not
done
sufficient
work
to
classify
the
historical
esJmate
as
current
mineral

The

is
not
treaJng
the

Regarding
Mineral
Reserve
and
Resource
Es=mates
Unless
otherwise
indicated,
all
reserve
and
resource
esJmates
included
in
this
presentaJon
have
been
prepared
in
accordance
with
NI
43-‐101
and

standards.
Canadian

and

informaJon
in
this

may
not

comparable
to
similar
informaJon
disclosed
by

companies.
In
parJcular,
and
without
limiJng
the
generality
of
the
foregoing,
the
term
“resource”
does
not
equate
to
the
term
“‘reserves”.
Under
U.S.
standards,
mineralizaJon
may
not
be
classified
as
a
“reserve”
unless
the
determinaJon
has
been
made
that
the

could
be
economically

devices.
• In
addiJon
the

is
anJcipated
to
further
boost
the
demand
for
cobalt
in
baueries
• Bauery

with
a

in
the
Idaho
Cobalt
Belt,
the
most

belt
of

of
approximately
118
acres
located
in
Lemhi
County
about
26
miles
southwest
of
the

idenJfied
several

• Extensive

IRON CREEK PROJECT
HIGHLIGHTS
• The

project
provides
Global
Cobalt
with
a
foothold
in
the
Idaho
Cobalt
Belt,
the
most
prolific
belt
of
cobalt
mineralisaJon
in

• Approximately
30,000
feet
of
diamond
drilling
and
1,500
feet
of
underground
drixing
has
been
completed
exploring
the
project
by
previous
operators.
• Historic
literature
defines
"two
disJnct
lenses
of
cobalt
mineralizaJon."
• The
first
lens
esJmated
to
contain
1,050,000
tons
grading
0.61%
cobalt
and
0.3%
copper
and
having
a
strike
length
of
about
750
feet.
• A
second
lens
of
high-‐grade
cobalt
mineralizaJon
of
229,000
tons
extends
for
600
feet
of
strike
length,
is
deeper
than
the
first
lens,
and
averages
about
0.48%
Co
and
0.24%
Cu.
• Historic
met

indicates
that
the

has
low

that
disJnguishes
