Atacama Resources International Announces Evaluation of Cabo Property

PLANTATION, FL--(Marketwired - Sep 7, 2017) - Atacama Resources International (OTCQB: ACRL) announced today that it has engaged Canadian Exploration Services Ltd. (CXS) to conduct a geological evaluation of Atacama's Cabo property. The Cabo property is comprised of Mining Claim 4225513, located in the Township of Lorrain which is in the heart of all the high-profile cobalt activity surrounding the historic mining town of Cobalt, Ontario.

Glenn Grant, CEO, stated, "I am very excited to have a firm with the credibility and credentials of CXS to be handling this next stage of exploration on the Cabo Property. It is right in the middle of all the recent mining exploration activity being conducted for cobalt, so we are eager for this report to be completed. The Cabo property was previously mined for silver, and we believe that cobalt was also prevalent at that time. Anticipation of substantial findings is high due to the extensive cobalt exploration which is happening all around the property. The Company has owned the mineral rights to this property since October 2016. The mining activity around our property gives us great enthusiasm of our reserves once proven."

Cobalt has been long valued for its corrosion and wear-resistant properties and has been used in special alloys like those used in aircraft engines. It is an essential element used in electroplating and for imparting blue and green colors to glass and ceramic products. Radioactive Cobalt-60 is used in cancer treatment. A major increase in demand is expected for cobalt as the worldwide electric vehicle battery and energy storage businesses expand. Cobalt has recently been valued at over $27 USD per pound as reported on www.infomine.com.
