CORPORATE OVERVIEW
We are an exploration stage company engaged in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties.
The address of our principal executive office is located at 10100 Santa Monica Blvd., Suite 300, Century City, CA 90067 USA.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "CCOB".
CORPORATE HISTORY
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 29, 2008, under the name "Mayetok, Inc.". As Mayetok, Inc. we were engaged in the development of a website to market vacation properties in the Ukraine.
On June 8, 2010, we initiated a one (1) old for 35 new forward stock splits of our issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital increased from 100,000,000 to 3,500,000,000 shares of common stock and the issued and outstanding increased from 2,200,000 shares of common stock to 77,000,000 shares of common stock, all with a par value of $0.001.
Also, on June 8, 2010 we changed our name from "Mayetok, Inc." to "First American Silver Corp.", by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary First American Silver Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name. We changed the name of our company to reflect the new direction of our company in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing mineral properties.
On June 18, 2018, we changed our name from "First American Silver Corp." to “Century Cobalt Corp.”, by way of a merger with our wholly owned subsidiary Century Cobalt Corp., which was formed solely for the change of name. We changed the name of our company to reflect the new direction of our company in the business of acquiring, exploring and developing cobalt mineral properties. Our name change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Markets at the opening of trading on June 18, 2018, on which date we adopted the new stock symbol "CCOB”.

OUR CURRENT BUSINESS
On August 7, 2018, we entered into an assignment agreement with Oriental Rainbow Group Ltd., in regards to the acquisition of certain mineral claims in Lemhi County, Idaho known as the “Idaho Cobalt Belt”.
Oriental Rainbow and Plateau Ventures LLC had entered into a purchase agreement dated September 4, 2017, wherein Oriental Rainbow had acquired from Plateau a 100% interest in the property, subject to certain subsequent payments and conditions. The claims comprising the property (649 claims) initially totaled approximately 12,980 acres, subject to an option under the purchase agreement for the acquisition of additional claims. Such option had been exercised with additional claims acquired, resulting in a total of 695 claims comprising approximately 13,900 acres.
Oriental Rainbow has assigned its interest in the property to us in consideration for 2,500,000 restricted shares of common stock (the “Consideration Shares”). We have assumed all of Oriental Rainbow’s obligations under the purchase agreement, which material obligations include: the issuance of up to 500,000 restricted shares of common stock to Plateau upon listing on a recognized stock exchange; paying pending BLM fees for the claims in the amount of $108,000; and paying Plateau $1,000,000 in four equal staged payments upon completion of a positive feasibility study on the property.
Century Cobalt’s, acreage, known as the “Emperium Cobalt Project,” as noted above totals 12,980 Acres / 5,625 Hectares, making it larger than the combined land claims of the 5 largest publicly traded companies currently active in the Idaho Cobalt Belt. The project is located approximately 16 miles (26 km) southwest of Salmon, Idaho. As of March 2020, the Company’s land position has been reduced to 694 claims.
On March 17, 2021 we executed on an opportunity to expand our asset base and change our strategic focus. Pursuant to this, the company, together with Block Commodities Limited, it entered into an option agreement to acquire 70 percent interest (the “Acquisition”) in a Medicinal Cannabis license granted to Magnus Cannabis Group (Private) Limited (“Magnus”) by the government of Zimbabwe. Block Commodities Ltd. is listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange, trading with ticker code BLCC.PL (“BLCC”).
The acquiring parties will each hold 35 percent. The stake in the Magnus license, will secure supply of medicinal grade cannabis for the production of Nutraceuticals.
The option is for an exclusivity period of 90 days to complete the Acquisition. The proposed terms of the Acquisition are as follows:
|
· |
Payment of an Option fee of £50,000 (approximately $69,000), to be apportioned equally between the acquiring parties, and |
|
|
|
|
· |
Payment by BLCC of £1,500,000 (approximately $2,095,000) through the issue of 2,142,857,142 fully paid ordinary shares in BLCC (calculated at 0.07p per share) upon exercise of the option, and contemporaneously the payment by CCOB of £1.5m of CCOB fully paid ordinary shares, price based on a 30-day VWAP (using the US$/GB£ closing middle market exchange rate published by Bloomberg on the day immediately prior to completion). |
We believe that this opportunity will enhance shareholder value over the longer term.
Given the foregoing, we had been exploring further options regarding the monetization of its Emperium Cobalt Project, which may include the sub-licensing or sale of the assets. Further to these efforts, on March 17, 2021, we signed an MOU and entered into discussions with UK-based Technology Minerals Limited (“Technology Minerals”) for Technology Minerals to acquire the Company’s entire interest (“the assets”) in the Emperium Cobalt Project.
Technology Minerals is comprised of mining assets and a major recycling group, laying the foundations for the UK’s first meaningful green circular economy in the battery industry and is currently in the process of becoming a UK-listed Company on the on the Standard List of the London Stock Exchange, by way of a Reverse Take Over.
Technology Minerals will extract the raw materials required for Li-ion Battery cathodes and then help solve the ecological issue of spent Li-ion batteries by recycling them for reuse by battery manufacturers.

Table of Contents |
To date, as noted herein, Century Cobalt has focused on exploring and developing its large Emperium Cobalt Project to take advantage of the growing demand for secure, domestic cobalt supplies, but the Directors believe that a sale of its assets to Technology Minerals represents an attractive and quicker route to monetize the Project.
If the negotiations are successful and the sale of the Project is completed, the Company will change its strategic direction and focus on the above noted medicinal cannabis license opportunity in partnership with its UK listed partner, Block Commodities Limited.
Property Information:
The Idaho Cobalt Belt is a northwest-southeast trending belt of cobalt- and copper-bearing mineral deposits and prospects.
The belt is at least 40 miles long (64 km) and up to 6 miles (10 km) wide.
Between 1902 and 1968, millions of tons of ore were mined in the Idaho Cobalt Belt within the Blackbird Mining area.
Total past production from the Blackbird Mine (to the immediate west of our Emperium Cobalt Project) was roughly 2.4 million tons of ore containing 19 thousand tons of cobalt, with the mine reaching its maximum production in 1958 at annual output of 2,000 tons cobalt.
As the only primary cobalt mine in the US to date, the mine site became a superfund site and was cleaned up in the 1990s.
2018 Exploration Program
The company completed a preliminary 2018 exploration program in the Idaho Cobalt Belt. During the 2018 campaign, the location of two known historic mineral prospects on our property were confirmed and sampled. In addition, a number of previously unknown prospects were also discovered by our exploration team and sampled. By 2018 year-end the Century field crew had collected over 800 soil samples and 150 rock samples, with the majority of the samples being sent for analysis to ALS Labs in Reno (NV). The results so far include:
Rock Samples:
0.1525% Co, 3.27 g/t Au, 27.7 g/t Ag, 4.38% Cu
149ppm Co, 12.9 g/t Au, 162 g/t Ag, 1.224% Cu
255 ppm Co, 4.89 g/t Au, 80.3 g/t Ag, 17.15% Cu
337ppm Co, 1.2 g/t Au, 62.2 g/t Ag, 16.85% Cu
6.93 g/t Au, 2690 g/t Ag, 2.62 % Cu, 5.53% Pb, 3.54% Zn
0.769 g/t Au, 522 g/t Ag, 13.15% Pb, 12% Zn

Table of Contents |
Soils Samples:
0.1175% Co, 11 ppm Cu and 299 ppm As
1.525% Cu, 0.2 g/t Au, 5.8g/t Ag and 1430 ppm As
0.998% Cu, 5 g/t Ag and 1630 ppm As
0.628% Cu, 0.188 g/t Au, 1.5g/t Ag and 1320 ppm As
0.278% Cu, 0.28 g/t Au, 13g/t Ag and 2180 ppm As
Cobalt Plus Co-Products
These early results confirm the strong Cobalt potential of the properties, while the findings for Copper (Cu), Gold (Au) and Silver (Ag), along with Lead (Pb) and Zinc (Zn) suggests co-products that could ultimately positively impact project economics. Additionally, Arsenic (As), (like cobalt, a US Government-designated Critical Mineral), will be assessed as a potential co-product. Essential for the production of Gallium-Arsenide semiconductor chips, Arsenic is a key raw material for solar panels, telecoms applications, infrared and optical applications.
2019 Exploration Program
The company completed a Satellite Thermal Study over its entire license area, the results of which will be integrated into the company’s geological database and combined with the soil and rock samples to further define areas of interest. No other work was carried on the property.
On April 1, 2019, the Company signed a six-month Option Agreement for sole and exclusive right and option to explore and evaluate the battery material (manganese + nickel + copper + cobalt) potential for property in the Chamberlain area of South Dakota, USA. The optionor provides the property free and clear of all liens, charges, encumbrances, claims, rights, or interest of any person subject to incurring or funding expenditures up to an aggregate of $10,000 within six months of signing this agreement. On April 1, 2019, the Company granted to the optionor 163,132 unregistered shares of the Company stock. At the end of the six-month period, the Company has the right to extend the option period for 3 months by issuing the optionor an additional $20,000 of unregistered shares of the Company’s common based on the 30 days average closing price on the date of the extension. At any time during the option periods, both parties agree to work towards signing a binding Exploration and Development Agreement in the event the initial exploration results on the subject properly prove encouraging. The Company may terminate the agreement with 30 days written notice to the optionor.
This agreement lapsed and was not renewed.
2020 Exploration Program
Due to financial and COVID related constraints, no exploration activities were conducted on the property during the year.
2021 Exploration Program
Exploration is expected to resume in Q3 2021. The current project data is being reviewed internally and an exploration program is being put together. It is anticipated that further soil sampling and geological mapping will take place around the known prospects to identify target areas for trenching and possible shallow drilling.
In addition, the Company is in advance discussions with another party to acquire the rights to 158 contiguous lode claims covering an area of approximately 1,285 ha (3,175 ac) within the Idaho Cobalt Belt.

COMPETITION
The mineral exploration industry is highly competitive. We are a new exploration-stage company and have a weak competitive position in the industry. We compete with junior and senior mineral exploration companies, independent producers and institutional and individual investors who are actively seeking to acquire mineral exploration properties throughout the world together with the equipment, labor and materials required to operate on those properties. Competition for the acquisition of mineral exploration interests is intense with many mineral exploration leases or concessions available in a competitive bidding process in which we may lack the technological information or expertise available to other bidders.
Many of the mineral exploration companies with which we compete for financing and for the acquisition of mineral exploration properties have greater financial and technical resources than those available to us. Accordingly, these competitors may be able to spend greater amounts on acquiring mineral exploration interests of merit or on exploring or developing their mineral exploration properties. This advantage could enable our competitors to acquire mineral exploration properties of greater quality and interest to prospective investors who may choose to finance their additional exploration and development. Such competition could adversely impact our ability to attain the financing necessary for us to acquire further mineral exploration interests or explore and develop our current or future mineral exploration properties.
We also compete with other junior mineral exploration companies for financing from a limited number of investors that are prepared to invest in such companies. The presence of competing junior mineral exploration companies may impact our ability to raise additional capital in order to fund our acquisition or exploration programs if investors perceive that investments in our competitors are more attractive based on the merit of their mineral exploration properties or the price of the investment opportunity. In addition, we compete with both junior and senior mineral exploration companies for available resources, including, but not limited to, professional geologists, land specialists, engineers, camp staff, helicopters, float planes, mineral exploration supplies and drill rigs.
General competitive conditions may be substantially affected by various forms of energy legislation and/or regulation introduced from time to time by the governments of the United States and other countries, as well as factors beyond our control, including international political conditions, overall levels of supply and demand for mineral exploration.
In the face of competition, we may not be successful in acquiring, exploring or developing profitable mineral properties or interests, and we cannot give any assurance that suitable oil and gas properties or interests will be available for our acquisition, exploration or development. Despite this, we hope to compete successfully in the mineral exploration industry by:
|
· |
keeping our costs low; |
|
· |
relying on the strength of our management’s contacts; and |
|
· |
using our size and experience to our advantage by adapting quickly to changing market conditions or responding swiftly to potential opportunities. |
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
Any operations at our cobalt properties will be subject to various federal and state laws and regulations in the United States which govern prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, protection of the environment, mine safety, hazardous substances and other matters. We will be required to obtain those licenses, permits or other authorizations currently required to conduct exploration and other programs. There are no current orders or directions relating to us or to our cobalt properties with respect to the foregoing laws and regulations. Such compliance may include feasibility studies on the surface impact of our proposed operations, costs associated with minimizing surface impact, water treatment and protection, reclamation activities, including rehabilitation of various sites, on-going efforts at alleviating the mining impact on wildlife and permits or bonds as may be required to ensure our compliance with applicable regulations. It is possible that the costs and delays associated with such compliance could become so prohibitive that we may decide to not proceed with exploration, development, or mining operations on any of our mineral properties. We are not presently aware of any specific material environmental constraints affecting our properties that would preclude the economic development or operation of property.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY
OUR BUSINESS IS IMPACTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported in China. Since then, the COVID-19 has spread globally including across North America and the United States. The spread of COVID-19 from China to other countries has resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) declaring the outbreak of COVID-19 as a “pandemic,” or a worldwide spread of a new disease, on March 11, 2020.
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and stock price. Other pandemics, epidemics, widespread illness or other health issues that interfere with the ability of our employees, suppliers, customers, financing sources or others to conduct business, or negatively affects consumer confidence or the global economy, could also adversely affect us.
9 |
|
Table of Contents |
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared COVID-19 a national emergency. COVID-19 has resulted in various government actions globally, including governmental actions in the U.S. designed to slow the spread of the virus. Shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders were implemented in many of the jurisdictions where we operate. However, we plan on remaining open in the U.S. COVID-19 is a widespread public health crisis that is adversely affecting financial markets and the economies of many countries. Any resulting economic downturn could adversely affect demand for our operations and contribute to volatile supply and demand conditions affecting prices and volumes in our markets.
The extent to which COVID-19 may adversely impact our business depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and unpredictable, including new information concerning the severity of the pandemic and the effectiveness of actions globally to contain or mitigate its effects. While we expect COVID-19 to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position, the current level of uncertainty over the economic and operational impacts of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact means the related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
THE FACT THAT WE HAVE NOT EARNED ANY OPERATING REVENUES SINCE OUR INCORPORATION RAISES SUBSTANTIAL DOUBT ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO EXPLORE OUR MINERAL PROPERTIES AS A GOING CONCERN.
We have not generated any revenue from operations since our incorporation and we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating expenses without revenues. We had cash in the amount of $4,076 as of November 30, 2019 and a working capital deficit of $900,754. We have also incurred a cumulative net loss of $3,324,929 from our inception on April 29, 2008 through November 30, 2019. We estimate that our average monthly operating expenses will be approximately $42,000, including management services and administrative costs. Should the results of our planned exploration require us to increase our current operating budget, we may have to raise additional funds to meet our currently budgeted operating requirements for the next 12 months. As we cannot assure a lender that we will be able to successfully explore and develop our mineral property, we will probably find it difficult to raise debt financing from traditional lending sources. We have in the past raised our operating capital from sales of equity securities, but there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to do so. If we cannot raise the money that we need to continue exploration of our mineral property, we may be forced to delay, scale back, or eliminate our exploration activities. If any of these were to occur, there is a substantial risk that our business would fail.
These circumstances lead our independent registered public accounting firm, in their report dated May 03, 2021, to comment about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to seek additional capital through a private placement of its capital stock. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our company's ability to continue as a going concern. Although there are no assurances that management's plans will be realized, management believes that our company will be able to continue operations in the future. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event our company cannot continue in existence." We continue to experience net operating losses.
BECAUSE WE HAVE RECENTLY BEEN A SHELL COMPANY, THE HOLDERS OF OUR RESTRICTED SECURITIES WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL THEIR SECURITIES IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144 UNTIL WE HAVE CEASED BEING A SHELL COMPANY FOR A ONE YEAR PERIOD AFTER HAVING FILED THE REQUIRED INFORMATION.
We have recently been a shell company as that term is defined by applicable federal securities laws. Specifically, because of the nature and amount of our assets and our very limited operations, pursuant to applicable federal rules, we were considered a shell company. Applicable provisions of Rule 144 specify that during that time that we were a shell company and for a period of one year thereafter, holders of our restricted securities may not sell those securities in reliance on Rule 144. This restriction may have potential adverse effects on future efforts to raise capital. One year after we cease being a shell company, assuming we are current in our reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission, holders of our restricted securities may then sell those securities in reliance on Rule 144 (provided, however, those holders satisfy all of the applicable requirements of that rule). For us to have ceased being a shell company, we are required to have more than nominal operations or more that nominal assets or assets which do not consist solely of cash or cash equivalents.

BECAUSE OF THE SPECULATIVE NATURE OF EXPLORATION OF MINERAL PROPERTIES, WE MAY NEVER DISCOVER A COMMERCIALLY EXPLOITABLE QUANTITY OF MINERALS, OUR BUSINESS MAY FAIL AND INVESTORS MAY LOSE THEIR ENTIRE INVESTMENT.
We are in the very early exploration stage and cannot guarantee that our exploration work will be successful, or that any minerals will be found, or that any production of minerals will be realized. The search for valuable minerals as a business is extremely risky. Substantial investment will be required to move our company toward the production of minerals. This may require bringing in a partner to make the necessary investment, but there are no plans at this time for any form of partnership or merger. We can provide investors with no assurance that exploration on our properties will establish that commercially exploitable reserves of minerals exist on our property. Additional potential problems that may prevent us from discovering any reserves of minerals on our property include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. If we are unable to establish the presence of commercially exploitable reserves of minerals on our property, our ability to fund future exploration activities will be impeded, we will not be able to operate profitably and investors may lose all of their investment in our company.
WE HAVE NO KNOWN MINERAL RESERVES AND WE MAY NOT FIND ANY COBALT AND, EVEN IF WE FIND COBALT, IT MAY NOT BE IN ECONOMIC QUANTITIES. IF WE FAIL TO FIND ANY COBALT OR IF WE ARE UNABLE TO FIND COBALT IN ECONOMIC QUANTITIES, WE WILL HAVE TO SUSPEND OPERATIONS.
We have no known mineral reserves. Additionally, even if we find cobalt in sufficient quantity to warrant recovery, it ultimately may not be recoverable. Finally, even if any cobalt is recoverable, we do not know that this can be done at a profit. Failure to locate cobalt in economically recoverable quantities will cause us to suspend operations.
SUPPLIES NEEDED FOR EXPLORATION MAY NOT ALWAYS BE AVAILABLE. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SECURE EXPLORATION SUPPLIES, WE MAY HAVE TO DELAY OUR ANTICIPATED BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
Competition and unforeseen limited sources of supplies needed for our proposed exploration work could result in occasional spot shortages of supplies of certain products, equipment or materials. There is no guarantee we will be able to obtain certain products, equipment and/or materials as and when needed, without interruption, or on favorable terms. Such delays could affect our anticipated business operations and increase our expenses.
BECAUSE OF THE UNIQUE DIFFICULTIES AND UNCERTAINTIES INHERENT IN MINERAL EXPLORATION VENTURES, WE FACE A HIGH RISK OF BUSINESS FAILURE.
Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered by new mineral exploration companies and the high rate of failure of such enterprises. The likelihood of success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays encountered in connection with the exploration of the mineral properties that we plan to undertake. These potential problems include, but are not limited to, unanticipated problems relating to exploration, and additional costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. The expenditures to be made by us in the exploration of the mineral claim may not result in the discovery of mineral deposits. Problems such as unusual or unexpected formations and other conditions are involved in mineral exploration and often result in unsuccessful exploration efforts. If the results of our exploration do not reveal viable commercial mineralization, we may decide to abandon our claims. If this happens, our business will likely fail.
THE MARKETABILITY OF NATURAL RESOURCES WILL BE AFFECTED BY NUMEROUS FACTORS BEYOND OUR CONTROL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN US NOT RECEIVING AN ADEQUATE RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL TO BE PROFITABLE OR VIABLE.
The marketability of natural resources, which may be acquired or discovered by us, will be affected by numerous factors beyond our control. These factors include market fluctuations in cobalt pricing and demand, the proximity and capacity of natural resource markets and processing equipment, governmental regulations, land tenure, land use, regulation concerning the importing and exporting of mineral resources and environmental protection regulations. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in us not receiving an adequate return on invested capital to be profitable or viable.

EXPLORATION AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS, WHICH MAY PREVENT OR DELAY THE COMMENCEMENT OR CONTINUATION OF OUR OPERATIONS.
In general, our exploration and production activities are subject to certain federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental quality and pollution control. Such laws and regulations increase the costs of these activities and may prevent or delay the commencement or continuation of a given operation. Specifically, we may be subject to legislation regarding emissions into the environment, water discharges and storage and disposition of hazardous wastes. In addition, legislation has been enacted which requires well and facility sites to be abandoned and reclaimed to the satisfaction of state authorities. However, such laws and regulations are frequently changed and we are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance. Generally, environmental requirements do not appear to affect us any differently or to any greater or lesser extent than other companies in the industry.
ANY CHANGE TO GOVERNMENT REGULATION/ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICES MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE AND OUR PROFITABILITY.
The business of mineral exploration and development is subject to substantial regulation under various countries’ laws relating to the exploration for, and the development, upgrading, marketing, pricing, taxation, and transportation of mineral resources and related products and other matters. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing operations and activities of mineral exploration and development operations could have a material adverse impact on our business. In addition, there can be no assurance that income tax laws, royalty regulations and government incentive programs related to the properties and the mineral exploration industry generally will not be changed in a manner which may adversely affect our progress and cause delays, inability to explore and develop or abandonment of these interests.
Permits, leases, licenses, and approvals are required from a variety of regulatory authorities at various stages of exploration and development. There can be no assurance that the various government permits, leases, licenses and approvals sought will be granted in respect of our activities or, if granted, will not be cancelled or will be renewed upon expiry. There is no assurance that such permits, leases, licenses, and approvals will not contain terms and provisions, which may adversely affect our exploration and development activities.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO HIRE AND RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
Our success is largely dependent on our ability to hire highly qualified personnel. This is particularly true in highly technical businesses such as resource exploration. These individuals are in high demand and we may not be able to attract the personnel we need. In addition, we may not be able to afford the high salaries and fees demanded by qualified personnel, or may lose such employees after they are hired. Failure to hire key personnel when needed, or on acceptable terms, would have a significant negative effect on our business.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK
TRADING ON THE OTC MARKETS MAY BE VOLATILE AND SPORADIC, WHICH COULD DEPRESS THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR OUR STOCKHOLDERS TO RESELL THEIR SHARES.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB tier of the electronic quotation system operated by OTC Markets. Trading in stock quoted on the OTC Markets is often thin and characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices, due to many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. This volatility could depress the market price of our common stock for reasons unrelated to operating performance. Moreover, the OTC Markets is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTC Markets is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a quotation system like NASDAQ or a stock exchange like NYSE or Amex. Accordingly, shareholders may have difficulty reselling any of the shares.

OUR STOCK IS A PENNY STOCK. TRADING OF OUR STOCK MAY BE RESTRICTED BY THE SEC'S PENNY STOCK REGULATIONS AND FINRA'S SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS, WHICH MAY LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
Our stock is a penny stock. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC, which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in, and limit the marketability of, our common stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.
TRENDS, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common shares.

We do not currently have any definitive arrangements in place for the completion of any further financings and there is no assurance that we will be successful in completing any further financings. If we are unable to achieve the necessary additional financing, then we plan to reduce the amounts that we spend on our business activities and administrative expenses in order to be within the amount of capital resources that are available to us.

We have not expended any funds on research and development since inception and we do not intend to allocate any funds to research and development over the twelve months ending November 30, 2021.

FUTURE FINANCINGS
We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our new business. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
As a "smaller reporting company", we are not required to provide tabular disclosure obligations.
GOING CONCERN
We have suffered recurring losses from operations and are dependent on our ability to raise capital from stockholders or other sources to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. In their report on our audited financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019, our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph regarding concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosure describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Century Cobalt Corp.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, although the Company has limited operations it has yet to attain profitability. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Century Cobalt Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Century Cobalt Corp. (“the Company”) as of November 30, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ending November 30, 2019 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of November 30, 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, has not yet received revenues from sales and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CENTURY COBALT CORP.
(FORMERLY FIRST AMERICAN SILVER CORP.)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2019 AND 2018
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Century Cobalt Corp. (formerly First American Silver Corp.) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on April 29, 2008. The Company’s principal office is located at 10100 Santa Monica Boulevard, Suite 300, Century City, California 90067. The Company’s principal business activity is the identification and exploration of mineral properties for the purposes of discovering economical cobalt assets.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
These consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary on October 8, 2018 by the Company through the issuance of 100 common shares at $0.01 per share for proceeds of $1. As Emperium 1 Holdings Corp. is a holding company and, as such, has no accounts or activity. The Company owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Emperium 1 Holdings Corp.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a November 30 fiscal year end.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company's operations are subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational, technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business failure. See Note 3 regarding going concern matters.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At November 30, 2019 and November 30, 2018, respectively, the Company had $4,076 and $1,172 of unrestricted cash to be used for future business operations.
The Company's bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At times, the Company's bank deposits may exceed the insured amount. Management believes it has little risk related to the excess deposits.
Prepaid Expenses
The Company considers all items incurred for future services to be prepaid expenses. The OTCBB prepaid listing fees were $2,167 at November 30, 2019 and 2018.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable, and note payable-related party. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due to either length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.
26 |
|
Table of Contents |
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets periodically, or at least annually, and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important, which could trigger an impairment review, include the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy of the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured as the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value. Management is not aware of any impairment changes that may currently be required; however, we cannot predict the occurrence of events that might adversely affect the reported values in the future.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718 and No. 505. After December 15, 2018, the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, was expanded to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods and services. The Company issues restricted stock to employees and consultants for their services. Cost for these transactions are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments issued at the date of grant. These shares are considered fully vested and the fair market value is recognized as expense in the period granted. The Company recognized consulting expenses and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in-capital related to stock issued for services. For agreements requiring future services, the consulting expense is to be recognized ratably over the requisite service period.
Total stock-based compensation amounted to $215,782 and $511,380 for the twelve months ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized. It is the Company’s policy to classify interest and penalties on income taxes as interest expense or penalties expense. As of November 30, 2019, there have been no interest or penalties incurred on income taxes.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASU No. 2014-09, ”Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606),” (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer.
27 |
|
Table of Contents |
Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration that an entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The amount of revenue that is recorded reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company applies the following five-step model in order to determine this amount: (i) identification of the promised goods in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
Once a contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606 at contract inception, the Company reviews the contract to determine which performance obligations the Company must deliver and which of these performance obligations are distinct. The Company recognizes as revenues the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when the performance obligation is satisfied or as it is satisfied. Generally, the Company’s performance obligations are transferred to customers at a point in time, typically upon delivery.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity. The convertible debt to common shares and unissued stock earned could potentially amount to approximately 9,256,000 additional shares issued by the Company. The Company's convertible notes and unissued shares are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive due to the Company's losses for the years ended November 30, 2019 and 2018.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional and presentation currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. Transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are recorded on the initial recognition at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Assets and liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency are remeasured into the functional currency with any related gain or loss recorded in earnings. The Company translates assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. dollar functional currency foreign transactions into the U.S. dollar reporting currency at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The Company translates income and expense items of such foreign transactions into the U.S. dollar reporting currency at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Accumulated translation adjustments are reported in stockholders’ equity, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the SEC adopted the final rule under SEC Release No. 33-10532, “Disclosure Update and Simplification,” amending certain disclosure requirements that were redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated or superseded. In addition, the amendments expanded the disclosure requirements on the analysis of stockholders’ equity for interim financial statements. Under the amendments, an analysis of changes in each caption of stockholders’ equity presented in the balance sheet must be provided in a note or separate statement. This analysis should present a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance of each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed. This final rule was effective as of November 5, 2018. The adoption of this final rule did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-02, Income Statement Reporting, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). Effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company has adopted 2018-02 and determined there was no material impact on the financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its Simplification Initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of US GAAP. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect ASU 2019-12 will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. ASU 2020-06 reduces the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. For convertible instruments with conversion features that are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital, the embedded conversion features no longer are separated from the host contract. ASU 2020-06 also removes certain conditions that should be considered in the derivatives scope exception evaluation under Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, and clarify the scope and certain requirements under Subtopic 815-40. In addition, ASU 2020-06 improves the guidance related to the disclosures and earnings-per-share (EPS) for convertible instruments and contract in entity’s own equity. ASU 2020-06 is effective for public business entities that meet the definition of a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer, excluding entities eligible to be smaller reporting companies as defined by the SEC, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluation the impact this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Management believes recently issued accounting pronouncements will have no impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Mineral Properties
Costs of exploration are expensed as incurred. Mineral property acquisition costs are capitalized including licenses and lease payments. Although the Company has taken steps to verify title to mineral properties in which it has an interest, these procedures do not guarantee the Company's title. Such properties may be subject to prior agreements or transfers and title may be affected by undetected defects.
Mineral properties are analyzed for impairment on an annual basis, or more often if warranted by circumstances. Impairment losses are recorded on mineral properties used in operations when indicators of impairment are present.
Capitalization
Only assets with a cost of $5,000 and a useful life of over 1 year are capitalized. All other costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current-year financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations. In addition, certain prior year amounts from the restated amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that Century Cobalt Corp., Inc. will continue as a going concern. The Company has a working capital deficit, has not yet received revenue from sales of products or services, and has incurred losses from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Without realization of additional debt or capital, it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from this uncertainty.
The Company’s activities to date have been supported by debt and equity financing. It has sustained losses in all previous reporting periods with an inception to date loss of $3,324,929 as of November 30, 2019. Management continues to seek funding from its shareholders and other qualified investors.
NOTE 4 – RESOURCE PROPERTY
On August 7, 2018, we entered into an assignment agreement with Oriental Rainbow Group Ltd., in regards to the acquisition of certain mineral claims in Lemhi County, Idaho known as the “Idaho Cobalt Belt”.

The vendor retains a 1% royalty on revenue derived from the sale of cobalt concentrate and other ore extracts from the property. The Company has the option to purchase this 1% royalty at any time for $1,000,000 in cash or common shares. As of November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, the Company has invested $248,000 into the above-mentioned mineral claims. These amounts are reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
On April 1, 2019, the Company signed a six-month Option Agreement for sole and exclusive right and option to explore and evaluate the battery material (manganese + nickel + copper + cobalt) potential for property in the Chamberlain area of South Dakota, USA.

NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES
The Company’s policy is to provide for deferred income taxes based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) legislation reduces the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% and is effective June 22, 2018 for the Company. We did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because we have experienced operating losses since inception. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through future income the Company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carryforwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carryforward period.
The Company is not aware of any uncertain tax position that, if challenged, would have a material effect on the financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019 or during the prior three years applicable under FASB ASC 740. We did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the consolidated balance sheet. All tax returns for the Company remain open for examination.
The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as follows:

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On December 7, 2020, the Company notified Michael Gillespie & Associates PLLC (MGA), the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm, that it was being replaced.
The reports of Michael Gillespie & Associates PLLC on our financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2018 and 2017 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle except to indicate that there was substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
During the fiscal years ended year ended November 30, 2018 and 2017 and through December 7, 2020, there has been no disagreement with MGA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of MGA, would have caused MGA to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in its report. There have been no reportable events as provided in Item 304 (a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K up to and including the dismissal of MGA except for the material weakness in its system of internal controls over financial reporting which MGA advised the Company existed. The controls designed were adequate for financial disclosures required for the preparation of the Company Form 10-Q and 10-K filings; however due to lack of resources in the Company’s accounting department the controls were not operating effectively. The Company’s board of directors discussed this issue with MGA. MGA has been fully authorized by the Company to answer all inquiries of MGA concerning the controls that were not operating effectively. There are no limitations placed on MGA or MGA concerning the inquiry of any matter related to the Company’s financial reporting.
On December 7, 2020, the Company retained Fruci Associates II, PLLC (Fruci) as our new independent registered public accounting firm. This was reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2021.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that the information disclosed in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as of November 30, 2019, in accordance with Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended are effective to ensure the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in SEC rules and forms.
Our management, including our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer), do not expect that our disclosure controls, and procedures or internal controls will prevent all possible error and fraud. Our disclosure controls and procedures are, however, designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and our president (our principal executive officer and our principal financial and accounting officer) have concluded that our financial controls and procedures are not effective at that reasonable assurance level.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management's authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set forth by the 2013 version of Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Our management has concluded that, as of November 30, 2019 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles. Our management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Board of Directors.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit our company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
INHERENT LIMITATIONS ON EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process, which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures.
Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended November 30, 2019 that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Change in Shell Company Status
During the year ended November 30, 2019, we sustained continuous operations, including finalizing the acquisition of certain mineral claims in Lemhi County, Idaho known as the “Idaho Cobalt Belt”. The 649 claims comprising the property initially totaled approximately 12,980 acres. On April 1, 2019, the Company signed a six-month Option Agreement for sole and exclusive right and option to explore and evaluate the battery material (manganese + nickel + copper + cobalt) potential for property in the Chamberlain area of South Dakota. Accordingly, as of November 30, 2019, we are no longer a shell company as that term is defined in Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

INVOLVEMENT IN CERTAIN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
To the best of our knowledge, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
|
1. |
been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences); |
|

|
|

|
3. |
been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity; |
|

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of our shares of common stock and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.
Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by our company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners as well as our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners of our subsidiaries were complied with.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and by our Bylaws.
Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its stockholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit our directors' immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
40 |
|
Table of Contents |
Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the Bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
CODE OF ETHICS
On February 13, 2012, our board of directors adopted a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct that applies to, among other persons, our company's chief executive officer, president and chief financial officer (being our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer), as well as persons performing similar functions. As adopted, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
|
1. |
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; |
|
|
|
|
2. |
full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us; |
|
|
|
|
3. |
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations; |
|
|
|
|
4. |
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct; and |
|
|
|
|
5. |
accountability for adherence to the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. |
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires, among other things, that all of our company's senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.
In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct emphasizes that all employees have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any employee who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct by another.
Our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to this annual report on Form 10-K. We will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics and Business Conduct to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Century Cobalt Corp., 11380 S. Virginia St., #2011, Reno, NV, 89511.

AUDIT COMMITTEE AND AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT
Our board of directors has determined that it does not have a member of its audit committee that qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is "independent" as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
We believe that the sole member of our board of directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development and the fact that we have not generated any material revenues to date. In addition, we currently do not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our board of directors does not believe that it is necessary to have such committees because it believes the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by our board of directors.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:
|
· |
Our principal executive officer; and |
|
|
|
|
· |
each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended November 30, 2019 and 2018. |
We will collectively refer to as the named executive officers of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table:

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
We do not have any agreements for compensating our directors for their services in their capacity as directors, although such directors are expected in the future to receive stock options to purchase shares of our common stock as awarded by our board of directors.
We have determined that none of our directors are independent directors, as that term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, as amended, and as defined by Rule 4200(a)(15) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules.
PENSION, RETIREMENT OR SIMILAR BENEFIT PLANS
There are no arrangements or plans in which we provide pension, retirement or similar benefits for directors or executive officers. We have no material bonus or profit-sharing plans pursuant to which cash or non-cash compensation is or may be paid to our directors or executive officers, except that stock options may be granted at the discretion of the board of directors or a committee thereof.
INDEBTEDNESS OF DIRECTORS, SENIOR OFFICERS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND OTHER MANAGEMENT
None of our directors or executive officers or any associate or affiliate of our company during the last two fiscal years, is or has been indebted to our company by way of guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar agreement or understanding currently outstanding.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During the year ended November 30, 2019, we did not have a compensation committee or another committee of the board of directors performing equivalent functions. Instead, the entire board of directors performed the function of compensation committee. Our board of directors approved the executive compensation, however, there were no deliberations relating to executive officer compensation during the year ended November 30, 2019.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
None.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
There are no family relationships between any of our directors, executive officers or directors.

The following table sets forth, as of May 03, 2021, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common shares by each shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common shares, as well as by each of our current directors and executive officers as a group. Each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated. Beneficial ownership consists of a direct interest in the shares of common stock, except as otherwise indicated.

(1) Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on, 2021. As of May 03, 2021, there were 81,238,895 shares of our company's common stock issued and outstanding.
CHANGES IN CONTROL
We are unaware of any contract or other arrangement or provisions of our Articles or Bylaws the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control of our company. There are not any provisions in our Articles or Bylaws, the operation of which would delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Except as disclosed herein, no director, executive officer, shareholder holding at least 5% of shares of our common stock, or any family member thereof, had any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction, or proposed transaction since the year ended November 30, 2019, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at the year-end for the last three completed fiscal years.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
We currently act with one director, Alexander Stanbury. We have determined that he is not an "independent director" as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).
We do not have a standing audit, compensation or nominating committee, but our entire board of directors’ acts in such capacities. We believe that our members of our board of directors are capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The board of directors of our company does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because we believe that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the board of directors. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the early stages of our development.
ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES
The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended November 30, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2018 for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

Our board of directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the board of directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
Our board of directors has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by our independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining our independent auditors' independence.

The Contractor acknowledges that in the course of its appointment hereunder the Contractor will, either directly or indirectly, have access to and be entrusted with information (whether oral, written or by inspection) relating to the Company or its respective affiliates, associates or customers (the “Confidential Information”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, any and all Developments (as defined herein), trade secrets, inventions, innovations, techniques, processes, formulas, drawings, designs, products, systems, creations, improvements, documentation, data, specifications, technical reports, customer lists, supplier lists, distributor lists, distribution channels and methods, retailer lists, reseller lists, employee information, financial information, sales or marketing plans, competitive analysis reports and any other thing or information whatsoever, whether copyrightable or uncopyrightable or patentable or unpatentable. The Contractor acknowledges that the Confidential Information constitutes a proprietary right, which the Company is entitled to protect. Accordingly the Contractor covenants and agrees that during the Term and thereafter until such time as all the Confidential Information becomes publicly known and made generally available through no action or inaction of the Contractor, the Contractor will keep in strict confidence the Confidential Information and shall not, without prior written consent of the Company in each instance, disclose, use or otherwise disseminate the Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to any third party.
3 |
|
5.2 Exceptions. The general prohibition contained in Section 5.1 against the unauthorized disclosure, use or dissemination of the Confidential Information shall not apply in respect of any Confidential Information that:
|
(a) |
is available to the public generally in the form disclosed; |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
becomes part of the public domain through no fault of the Contractor; |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
is already in the lawful possession of the Contractor at the time of receipt of the Confidential Information; or |
|
|
|
|
(d) |
is compelled by applicable law to be disclosed, provided that the Contractor gives the Company prompt written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and provides assistance in obtaining an order protecting the Confidential Information from public disclosure. |
5.3 Developments. Any information, data, work product or any other thing or documentation whatsoever which the Contractor, either by itself or in conjunction with any third party, conceives, makes, develops, acquires or acquires knowledge of during the Contractor’s appointment with the Company or which the Contractor, either by itself or in conjunction with any third party, shall conceive, make, develop, acquire or acquire knowledge of (collectively the “Developments”) during the Term or at any time thereafter during which the Contractor is engaged by the Company that is related to the business of mining property acquisition and exploration shall automatically form part of the Confidential Information and shall become and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Accordingly, the Contractor does hereby irrevocably, exclusively and absolutely assign, transfer and convey to the Company in perpetuity all worldwide right, title and interest in and to any and all Developments and other rights of whatsoever nature and kind in or arising from or pertaining to all such Developments created or produced by the Contractor during the course of performing this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to effect any registration in the world to protect the foregoing rights. The Company shall have the sole, absolute and unlimited right throughout the world, therefore, to protect the Developments by patent, copyright, industrial design, trademark or otherwise and to make, have made, use, reconstruct, repair, modify, reproduce, publish, distribute and sell the Developments, in whole or in part, or combine the Developments with any other matter, or not use the Developments at all, as the Company sees fit.
5.4 Protection of Developments. The Contractor does hereby agree that, both before and after the termination of this Agreement, the Contractor shall perform such further acts and execute and deliver such further instruments, writings, documents and assurances (including, without limitation, specific assignments and other documentation which may be required anywhere in the world to register evidence of ownership of the rights assigned pursuant hereto) as the Company shall reasonably require in order to give full effect to the true intent and purpose of the assignment made under Section 5.3 hereof. If the Company is for any reason unable, after reasonable effort, to secure execution by the Contractor on documents needed to effect any registration or to apply for or prosecute any right or protection relating to the Developments, the Contractor hereby designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as the Contractor’s agent and attorney to act for and in the Contractor’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such document and do all other lawfully permitted acts necessary or advisable in the opinion of the Company to effect such registration or to apply for or prosecute such right or protection, with the same legal force and effect as if executed by the Contractor.
4 |
|
5.5 Remedies. The parties to this Agreement recognize that any violation or threatened violation by the Contractor of any of the provisions contained in this Article 5 will result in immediate and irreparable damage to the Company and that the Company could not adequately be compensated for such damage by monetary award alone. Accordingly, the Contractor agrees that in the event of any such violation or threatened violation, the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, be entitled as a matter of right to apply to such relief by way of restraining order, temporary or permanent injunction and to such other relief as any court of competent jurisdiction may deem just and proper.
5.6 Reasonable Restrictions. The Contractor agrees that all restrictions in this Article 5 are reasonable and valid, and all defenses to the strict enforcement thereof by the Company are hereby waived by the Contractor.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
