Canada Silver Cobalt hits New high-grade silver vein discovery  Canada Silver Cobalt Works announce the intersection of a new, additional, high-grade silver vein within 60 metres of the Robinson Zone Discovery hole CA-1108.  The Robinson Zone Project is 100-percent owned by the Company, in the 78-square-kilometre Castle Silver Mine property, in Gowganda, Ontario, Canada.   Visually, mineralization in the new vein rivals the discovery intersection of hole. The 18,000 metres drilled in the current 50,000-metre program, represents only 36 percent of this phase of drilling.  A total of 28 holes are completed, including 8 wedge holes. This new intersection is 53 metres laterally east-southeast and 25 metres vertically above the original discovery hole (CA-11-08) and further expands the potential high-grade mineralization target area.  This new, high-grade mineralized intercept is approximately 80 metres below the upper contact of the diabase sill which, in the Gowganda Camp, typically
