ROUYN NORANDA, QC, May 8, 2020 /CNW/ - Canada Cobalt Works Inc. (TSXV: CCW) (OTC: CCWOF) (Frankfurt: 4T9B) (the "Company" or "Canada Cobalt") is pleased to announce that shareholders in a Special Meeting yesterday voted 99.92% in favor of changing the Company's name to Canada Silver Cobalt Works Inc. in order to better reflect its immediate and longer-term direction.
