Commodities & Offtake Analyst

Exclusive, life-of-mine offtake framework with Glencore; volumes and pricing to be set pre-delivery.

COBA granted Glencore an irrevocable and exclusive right of first and last refusal over 100% of materials from La Cobaltera and El Cofre for the life of mine. This creates a defined sales pathway, subject to execution of specific offtake contracts for any purchases.

Commercial terms will be set no later than three months before deliveries and reference a benchmark, such as the Fastmarkets cobalt price index, via a premium/discount. The structure aligns pricing with market conditions and defers specifics until production is closer.

Impact hinges on project development and entering definitive offtake contracts. The exclusivity could concentrate marketing with one counterparty, while the benchmark-linked pricing helps anchor future terms once delivery timing is established.
