Products and services

• La Cobaltera Project A primary cobalt-copper project located in the San Juan District, Atacama Region III of northern Chile, covering 2,635 hectares. The project encompasses past-producing open-pit and underground mines with historic cobalt grades between 1% and over 15%, being developed in two phases: Phase 1 focuses on near-term oxide resource processing via crushing, classification, curing, and leaching; Phase 2 targets deeper sulphide mineralization with grinding, flotation, and roasting.
• El Cofre Project A copper-cobalt-gold project acquired in 2025 through a definitive agreement with Cobalt Chile SpA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fuerte Metals Corp. The acquisition added 3,742 hectares of exploitation claims in the historic San Juan district, expanding the company's total mining concessions to 6,377 hectares.
• NeoRe Rare Earth Project A rare earth project in southern Chile operated by NeoRe SpA, covering approximately 5,750 hectares following land expansion. Chilean Cobalt holds a binding earn-in and option agreement with NeoRe SpA. Drilling has identified rare earth concentrations up to 1,060 ppm Total Rare Earth Elements, with basic engineering nearing 25% completion and pilot-scale downstream processing demonstrating encouraging recovery results.
