Key Details

• Shares sold: 1,562,500 common shares at $1.60 per share.
• Gross proceeds: $2,500,000.
• Date of agreements: May 18, 2026; press release filed May 21, 2026.
• Investors: a Glencore subsidiary and Madesal SpA (both prior investors).
• Use of proceeds: district consolidation opportunities and exploration, early ESG work, and general corporate and working capital purposes.
• Regulatory notes: Sale reported under Item 3.02 (unregistered sale of equity securities); stock purchase agreement disclosed under Item 1.01.

Why It Matters This transaction provides Chilean Cobalt with fresh capital to fund exploration, potential district consolidation and early ESG activities without a public offering. The participation of an existing Glencore subsidiary and Madesal is follow‑on funding from current shareholders. Because the shares were issued in a private placement, the financing increases outstanding shares (dilution) and was not registered under the Securities Act. Investors should watch for further disclosures on how the proceeds are deployed and any changes to share count or capitalization.
