On March 19, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Chilean Cobalt Corp. (the “Company”) appointed Michael Caperonis to serve as a member of the Board until his successor is elected and qualified or until his death, resignation or removal. Mr. Caperonis is expected to be a member of the Audit Committee of the Board.

Mr. Caperonis has more than 25 years of finance and capital markets experience. Over the course of his career, Mr. Caperonis has held senior leadership positions at several major global financial institutions.

In these roles, he was responsible for overseeing large trading operations and played a key role in the pricing and syndication of numerous capital raises for major corporations across global capital markets.

Resignation of Greg Levinson from Board of Directors

On March 19, 2026, Greg Levinson resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Chilean Cobalt Corp. (the “Company”). At the time of his resignation, Mr. Levinson was the chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board. The resignation was not due to any disagreements between Mr. Levinson and the Company, and he intends to remain a supportive shareholder.

Mr. Levinson resigned to pursue new ventures that would likely preclude service on a public company board and would compete for his time and focus. That, combined with the opportunity to add directors with capital markets expertise who are expected to qualify as independent, thereby strengthening the Company’s governance profile in connection with the Company’s evaluation of a potential future uplisting to a national securities exchange, made the present timing less disruptive and more beneficial to both Mr. Levinson and the Company.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.
