Primary Cobalt Corp. and EXCO Mining (Spain) Announces Submission of Work Program for Cobalt Exploration
Vancouver, British Columbia (FSCwire) - Primary Cobalt Corp. (CSE – PRIM) ("Primary" or the "Company") further to its announcement of April 8th, 2018 has submitted its work program on 62,416 hectares of potential of Cobalt, Copper, Nickel and Manganese permits in Almeria and Granada provinces in southern Spain.
Buran Project, Almeria, South East Spain
Historic Highlights
- The mineralization is enriched in several elements (Co-Ni-Ag-Se-As-Hg) that entry into the category of RSE (redox-sensitive elements). Bearing in mind that the mineralization is stratified with high TOC dolomites affected by thrusts, a Mississippy Valley-type origin can be extrapolated for this deposit, with the origin of the metals in the washing of marine series or from the mafic intercalations into the series, with the carbonate/dolomite formations as a “reducing trap” for mineralization.
- The concentrations of primary cobalt minerals are important and it will be be interesting to check their regional extension. This type of deposit can be very widespread in Betics, and could also concentrate elements of the platinum group. It is quite similar to the D.R.C. mineralizations.

Historic Highlights
- The main mineralizations are Pb-Zn (F) and Cu-Co (Ni, Ag). The first are embedded in carbonated formations of the Trías, associated with limestones and dolomites formed in environments restricted. The second, which is also within Triassic dolomites, barely known, although present a clear interest:
- The mineralization adopts a stratiform morphology but closely related to a network of small fractures and diaclases, as well as to the porosity of the host rocks.
