About Century
Century Global Commodities Corporation (TSX:CNT)
is building shareholder value through existing and entrepreneurial
business units that meet continuing and growing demand from China,
the largest market in human history.
Iron Ore
With Baowu and Minmetals, both Global Fortune
500 companies, as Chinese strategic partners, Century owns one of
the largest iron ore mineral resource bases in the world, across
five projects in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. Joyce Lake,
a direct shipping iron ore (“DSO”) project in Newfoundland and
Labrador, is our most advanced project. It has completed
feasibility and permitting studies and can be brought to production
within approximately 30 months. We are maintaining our properties
ready for advancement after a return to sustained higher iron ore
prices.
Base and Precious Metals
Century is monitoring investment and acquisition
opportunities in the base and precious metals sector. When the
right opportunity presents itself, our liquid balance sheet will
allow us to invest or acquire cost-effective assets during the low
base and precious metal price cycle, positioning ourselves for
gains when the market improves. To that end, Century Metals Inc.,
now listed on TSX-V under the ticker symbol CMET, was created and
spun out to provide more flexibility for execution.
Quality Food Services
Quality food products sourced from advanced
countries are in great demand from the quickly-growing middle class
in China. The emphasis is on the need for safe, high-quality food
products. Century has established a professional marketing team and
built a distribution system to serve Hong Kong.
