VANCOUVER, BC / THENEWSWIRE / OCTOBER 1st, 2015 / Global Cobalt Corp. (TSXV:GCO, OTCBB:GLBCF, FRA:3P0) ("Global Cobalt," and/or the "Company") announced today that in relation to the arrangement agreement made as of July 27, 2015 (the "Arrangement Agreement") and amended August 4, 2015 and September 4, 2015, pursuant to which the parties agreed to the reorganization of Global Cobalt and transfer of certain assets and liabilities to Global Energy Metals Corp. ("Global Energy Metals") by way of a plan of arrangement, that Imperial Mining Holding Limited, Global Energy Metals and Global Cobalt (the "Parties") have agreed to further amend the Arrangement Agreement by extending the Drop Dead Date, as that term is defined in the Arrangement Agreement, as amended, from September 30, 2015 to October 21, 2015.
On August 31, 2015 shareholders of Global Cobalt, amongst other resolutions, voted unanimously in favour of the spin-out and listing of the new company Global Energy Metals as a vehicle to examine other acquisitions in the battery metals space and move forward a strategy to be a bank for these critical assets. The Karakul Cobalt Project located in the Altai Republic, Russia will remain the priority project for Global Cobalt Corp. and given its proximity has the potential of becoming a key supplier for the Chinese cobalt market.
The strategic reorganization remains subject to final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and other customary conditions and regulatory approval, including but not limited to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Global Cobalt Corp. is a publicly traded Canadian resource company that was founded in 2007 to take advantage of the global transformation that is occurring in the strategic metals sector of the mining industry. Through a combination of acquisitions and internally developed businesses, Global Cobalt exploits market opportunities as they emerge in various sectors of the energy metals sector with emphasis on those metals, such as cobalt, used in the rechargeable battery space.
