TORONTO, March 22, 2018 -- Cobalt 27 Capital Corp. (“Cobalt 27” or the “Company”) (TSXV:KBLT) (FRA:27O), was named by S&P Global Platts as a finalist for the prestigious 2018 Global Metals Awards, an annual program honoring companies dedicated to achieving excellence in the metals industry.  Cobalt 27 was selected as a finalist in the following four categories:  Rising Star Company, Base and Specialty Metals Industry Leadership, Deal of the Year and CEO of the Year. 

“As we near the end of our first full year of operations, this recognition is an important milestone for Cobalt 27, and a strong indicator that the metals industry acknowledges the importance of our innovative business model.  The accelerated global adoption of electric vehicles and energy storage systems, and corresponding increase in demand for battery metals such as cobalt, have transformed this minor metal into a significant and rapidly emerging component of the overall metals industry. These nominations are a testament to not only the Cobalt 27 team, but also our supporting shareholders, syndicate of banks and legal team, all of whom make everything possible,” commented Anthony Milewski, Chairman and CEO of Cobalt 27.

Chosen from a pool of approximately 100 nominations across fourteen categories, the 2018 finalists were recently announced by program host S&P Global Platts, the leading global provider of metals and commodities information and spot market benchmarks.  Cobalt 27 was one of two companies selected for recognition in four categories.
