General Overview
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 split 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. As of
June 2010, we had abandoned our former business plan of seeking to market
vacation properties.
Our name change and forward stock split became effective with the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board at the opening of trading on June 16, 2010, on
which date we adopted the new stock symbol "FASV".
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 mineral properties. Our name
change became effective with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board 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.
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 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.
On September 14, 2021, the Company signed a share purchase agreement to sell the
assets of Emperium 1 Holdings Corp to Technology Minerals PLC, a related party.
Technology Minerals PLC become new UK public company during the three months
ended August 31, 2021. The Company was issued 420,000,000 unregistered shares
(0.001£ par value) of Technology Minerals PLC common stock. The Company
initially owned approximately 38.8% of the outstanding shares of Technology
Minerals PLC. At May 31, 2022, the owns approximately 37.5% of the outstanding
shares of Technology Minerals PLC.
We are currently accessing the next steps our business.

Table of Contents
Of the $240,000 that we require for the next 12 months, we had $87,593 in cash
as of May 31, 2022 and a working capital deficit of $1,699,830. In order to
improve our liquidity, we plan to pursue additional equity or debt financing
from private investors or possibly a registered public offering. 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 are not aware of any known trends, demands, commitments, events or
uncertainties that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in our
liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.
Future Financings
We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock in order to
continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will
result in dilution to our existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we
will achieve any additional sales of our equity securities or arrange for debt
or other financing to fund our planned business activities.
We presently do not have any arrangements for additional financing for the
expansion of our exploration operations, and no potential lines of credit or
sources of financing are currently available for the purpose of proceeding with
our plan of operations.
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, and capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
