Growth Strategy & Competitive Strengths
Global Cobalt is establishing the company as an aggregator of advanced-stage cobalt deposits with established resources. We plan to grow our business by maximizing growth and profitability to create value for our shareholders and partners.
Our competitive strengths are the following:
Professionalism. Global Cobalt stands apart and brings a professional perspective to an industry that is in desperate need of trusted advisors and the development of a standard of care and excellence.
Deal sourcing. We believe we are uniquely positioned to identify and attract the most compelling opportunities in the strategic metals industry. Global Cobalt has fostered personal relationships globally with analysts, brokers, institutional funds, shareholders, metals dealers, and political campaigners. This global network provides an abundance of inbound data and deal flow on a daily basis. Global Cobalt remains opportunistic in search of profitable deals that can accelerate the development of its strategic metals properties worldwide.
Financial Strength. We intend to use this funding opportunity to build a strong balance sheet to pursue business opportunities. In addition, a strong balance sheet will provide us a critical source of legitimacy in a market where investors and business partners are often uncertain of the stability and sophistication of other participants. The dearth of capital in the junior mining space ensures that well-capitalized entities have a first mover advantage.
Business Discipline. Global Cobalt employs rigorous business discipline to develop and pursue long-term business opportunities. In an industry full of short-term thinkers and penny stock promoters, Global Cobalt stands firm in its belief that its shareholders will be best served by focusing on business opportunities that will form the foundation of the natural resource industry for many years.
Data. Global Cobalt and its management team has access to timely cobalt data that is unmatched by most other companies. This data drives investment and business decisions throughout the corporate structure.
Domain Knowledge. Global Cobalt has assembled a team that is unparalleled in the cobalt exploration space. Global Cobalt has assembled an internal and external team of experts in the cobalt exploration industry who are shaping the future. Global Cobalt's team includes management, marketers, geologists, security experts, lawyers, metals trading experts, logistics specialists, shareholder relation specialists, and financial professionals.
