Arizona Tribune - Chilean Cobalt Corp. Enters Offtake Arrangement with Glencore on La Cobaltera and El Cofre Projects

Both parties anticipate that of any Materials sold to Glencore in the future, the majority of the cobalt and copper intermediate product stream will be shipped into the United States ("US") for processing and refining.

"This marks a significant milestone for Chilean Cobalt as we advance the La Cobaltera and El Cofre projects and work to establish an Americas-focused cobalt supply chain," said Duncan T. Blount, Chairman and CEO of Chilean Cobalt. "We believe that working with Glencore, one of the world's leading producers and marketers of cobalt and copper, will satisfy a key condition precedent as we pursue strategic project financing, and positions us to accelerate project development, while supporting the growing demand for secure and responsibly sourced critical minerals."

In addition, Glencore is expected to provide strategic support for development of Chilean Cobalt's La Cobaltera Phase 1 cobalt-copper project, and to collaborate on new initiatives aimed at developing US-based processing and refining capabilities for metal products and/or battery materials.

Through this relationship, Chilean Cobalt will leverage Glencore's global expertise and extensive network as one of the world's leading producers and marketers of cobalt, with established extraction and processing operations worldwide.
