Chilean Cobalt Corp. reports that on July 22, 2026 it was informed that a previously issued Letter of Interest (LOI) from the Export-Import Bank of the United States would not be renewed, due to EXIM guidelines limiting eligible LOIs to a single twelve-month extension and a maximum two-year term.
On the same date the company submitted a new LOI application to EXIM requesting terms substantially similar to the expired letter and anticipates the application will be processed in the ordinary course. The company explains that an LOI is not a financing commitment, is issued at EXIM’s sole discretion, and there is no assurance that a new LOI will be issued, issued within the anticipated timeframe, or on comparable terms.
Chilean Cobalt Corp. received written consent effective July 17, 2026 from holders of 68.71% of its common stock voting power, granting the board discretionary authority to implement a reverse stock split of issued and outstanding common shares within a 1-for-2 to 1-for-6 range via an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation.
The board will decide whether to proceed, the timing, and the exact ratio, and the company notes the potential split may help provide flexibility to meet minimum price requirements for a possible national securities exchange listing, though neither the split nor any listing is assured.

Seven new concessions added roughly 2,100 hectares and more than 20 additional targets have been identified. An accelerated work program aims to complete Tranche 1 activities by July 2026, expand drilling with two crews, advance modular processing engineering, and run an analytical campaign of over 100 samples with academic support.

The non-grant portion of $950,000USD is expected to be funded by consortium participants, with $600,000USD as in-kind support and $350,000USD as direct monetary contributions. Chilean Cobalt Corp. expects to provide about 21% of this consortium support, split roughly half in-kind and half in cash over the project’s life.

Chilean Cobalt Corp. reported that it has entered into a binding earn-in and option agreement with NeoRe SpA, a privately held Chilean company, for an ionic adsorption clay-style rare earth element (REE) project. The arrangement gives Chilean Cobalt the right to acquire the project in exchange for 6,000,000 common shares if it proceeds to an outright purchase.
Under the agreement, the company may provide NeoRe with up to a maximum of $3,000,000 to fund a phased development strategy and secure an option over approximately 4,250 hectares of a REE system enriched with yttrium, neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium, which are described as critical to defense and advanced manufacturing supply chains. If the option is not exercised, Chilean Cobalt would receive a net smelter royalty of as much as 2%, depending on the development phase reached. The company expects development scale-up over approximately 12–24 months, and NeoRe may earn additional bonus shares by meeting permitting and production targets to be agreed in a future definitive acquisition agreement.
Chilean Cobalt Corp. reported that on December 31, 2025, all of its 2,407,785 issued and outstanding shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into common stock under existing certificate provisions. This auto-conversion increased the company’s common stock issued and outstanding to 56,409,930 shares and reduced the Series B preferred outstanding to zero.
After this conversion, former preferred holders no longer have the special rights tied to the Series B preferred, including anti-dilution protections and priority or more favorable conversion terms. They now only hold the same rights as other common stockholders, meaning the company’s equity structure is simplified into common stock without this preferred class.

The company expects to use the net proceeds, after placement agent expenses and fees, to fund exploration work, continue consolidating its project district, advance environmental, social and governance (ESG) diligence, and for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The 4.5 million-share issuance will represent 9.37% of post-transaction common stock and is subject to a multi-year lockup that permits only 1.5 million cumulative shares to be sold under exemptions in each successive year until the third anniversary, with any remaining shares then saleable under an appropriate exemption.
