"cold mastery ... increases the chance that the attack will ignore targets resistance"
Nope. Cold Mastery reduces the target's resistance by a certain percentage, depending on the skill level of CM. Example: slvl 1 CM reduces target resistance by 23%. If a target had, say, 75% Cold Resist, it would now have 57.75% Cold Resist (75 - (75*0.23)). Cold Mastery will not reduce target resistance below 0% and has no effect on Cold Immunes.
"Ignore targets resistance" implies (at least to me) that the resist will always be set to 0. That's not the case.
Hope this helps clarify things for you.
