In the Matter of CENTURY COBALT CORP.

OPINION OF THE COMMISSION SECTION 12(j) PROCEEDING Grounds for Remedial Action

Failure to Comply with Periodic Filing Requirements

Company failed to file periodic reports in violation of Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13. Held, it is in the public interest to revoke the registration of each class of the company's securities registered under Exchange Act Section 12. APPEARANCES:

Gina Joyce and Samantha Williams, for the Division of Enforcement.

Respondent Century Cobalt Corp.(CIK No. 1456802; ticker: CCOB) ("Respondent"), an issuer with a class of securities registered with the Commission, failed to file an answer in response to an order instituting proceedings ("OIP") alleging that it did not file required periodic reports. Respondent again failed to respond to an order to show cause why it should not be 1 deemed to be in default. We now deem Respondent to be in default, deem the allegations of the 2 OIP to be true, and revoke the registration of each class of Respondent's securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

1. Background
2. The Commission issued an OIP against Respondent alleging that it violated the

Exchange Act and the rules thereunder by failing to file required periodic reports.

On September 4, 2025, the Commission issued the OIP against Respondent under Exchange Act Section 12(j). The OIP alleged that, by failing to file required periodic reports, Respondent violated Exchange Act Section 13(a) and Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 (requiring annual reports) and 13a-13 (requiring quarterly reports). According to the OIP, Respondent is a revoked Nevada corporation located in Los Angeles, California, with a class of securities registered with the Commission under Exchange Act Section 12. The OIP further alleges that Respondent is delinquent in its periodic filings with the Commission, having not filed any periodic reports since it filed a Form 10-Q for the period ended August 31, 2022. Respondent's EDGAR filing history reflects that Respondent made that filing on June 13, 2023, and confirms the OIP's allegations regarding Respondent's delinquency. 3 The OIP alleges that Respondent either failed to heed a delinquency letter from the Division of Corporation Finance requesting compliance with its periodic filing obligations or did not receive such letter because it failed to maintain a valid address on file with the Commission. The OIP further alleges that, as of August 4, 2025, unsolicited quotations for Respondent's common stock were submitted on the Expert Market tier of OTC Link ATS, whose parent company is OTC Markets Group Inc. Through the OIP, the Commission instituted these proceedings to determine if the OIP's allegations are true and whether it is necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to suspend or revoke the registration of each class of Respondent's securities registered under Exchange Act Section 12. The OIP directed Respondent to file an answer to the OIP's allegations within ten days after service, as provided by Rule 220(b) of the Commission's Rules of Practice. The OIP informed Respondent that if it failed to answer, it could be deemed to be 4 Century Cobalt Corp., Exchange Act Release No. 103855, 2025 WL 3459206 (Sept. 4, 1 2025). Century Cobalt Corp., Exchange Act Release No. 104497, 2025 WL 3757888 (Dec. 23, 2 2025). See Rule of Practice 323, 17 C.F.R. § 201.323 ("Official notice may be taken of . . . any 3 matter in the public official records of the Commission . . . ."). 17 C.F.R. § 201.220(b). 4

in default, the allegations of the OIP could be deemed true as provided in the Rules of Practice, 5 and the proceeding could be determined against Respondent upon consideration of the OIP.

1. Respondent failed to answer the OIP or respond to a show cause order.
   Respondent was properly served with the OIP but did not answer it. On December 23, 2025, more than ten days after service on Respondent, the Commission ordered Respondent to show cause by January 6, 2026, why the Commission should not deem Respondent to be in default due to its failure to file an answer or otherwise to defend this proceeding and revoke the registration of each class of its registered securities. The Commission warned Respondent that if it failed to respond to the order to show cause, the Commission could deem Respondent to be in default and the allegations of the OIP to be true, determine the proceeding against Respondent without a public hearing, and revoke the registration of its securities. Respondent did not answer the OIP or respond to the show cause order.

2. Analysis

3. We deem Respondent to be in default and deem the OIP's allegations to be true.
   Rule of Practice 220(f) provides that if a respondent fails to file an answer required by the OIP within the time provided, we may deem the respondent to be in default under Rule 155(a). 6 Rule 155(a) permits us to deem such a respondent to be in default and to "determine the proceeding against [it] upon consideration of the record, including the order instituting proceedings, the allegations of which may be deemed to be true." Because Respondent has 7 failed to answer and has not responded to the order to show cause, we find it appropriate to deem Respondent to be in default and to deem the allegations of the OIP to be true.

4. Relief is warranted under Exchange Act Section 12(j).
   Exchange Act Section 12(j) authorizes us, as we deem necessary or appropriate for the protection of investors, to revoke the registration of a security if we find, on the record after notice and opportunity for hearing, that the security's issuer has failed to comply with any provision of the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. For the reasons 8 explained below, we find it appropriate to revoke the registration of Respondent's securities.

5. We find that Respondent violated the Exchange Act by failing to file required
   periodic reports.

Exchange Act Section 13(a) and the rules promulgated thereunder require issuers of securities registered under Exchange Act Section 12 to file with the Commission current and See Rule of Practice 155(a), 17 C.F.R. § 201.155(a). 5 17 C.F.R. § 201.220(f). 6 Id. § 201.155(a) (specifically authorizing such action where a respondent fails "[t]o 7 answer . . . or otherwise to defend the proceeding"). 15 U.S.C. § 78l(j). 8

accurate information in periodic reports. The periodic reports must be filed even if the 9 registration is voluntary. Specifically, Rule 13a-1 requires issuers to file annual reports, and 10 Rule 13a-13 generally requires domestic issuers to file quarterly reports. These requirements 11 are imposed "for the proper protection of investors and to insure fair dealing" in an issuer's securities. A violation of these provisions does not require scienter. 12 13 The allegations of the OIP, deemed true, and Respondent's EDGAR filing history, establish that Respondent had a class of securities registered with the Commission under Exchange Act Section 12, and that it has failed to file required periodic reports as described above. The record thus shows that Respondent violated Exchange Act Section 13(a) and the rules thereunder.

1. We deem it necessary and appropriate to revoke the registration of each class of Respondent's securities that is registered under Exchange Act Section 12.

Because Respondent failed to make filings required by the Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder, Section 12(j) authorizes us, as we deem "necessary or appropriate for the protection of investors," to revoke the registration of Respondent's securities. We apply a 14 multifactor test to determine an appropriate sanction, considering, among other things: [T]he seriousness of the issuer's violations, the isolated or recurrent nature of the violations, the degree of culpability involved, the extent of the issuer's efforts to remedy its past violations and ensure future compliance, and the credibility of its assurances, if any, against further violations. 15 Although these factors are nonexclusive, and no single factor is dispositive, "[w]e have 16 held that a respondent's repeated failure to file its periodic reports on time is 'so serious' a See id. §§ 78m(a), 78l. 9 See Exchange Act Section 12(g)(1), 15 U.S.C. § 78l(g)(1) (permitting voluntary 10 registration); Exchange Act Section 13(a), 15 U.S.C. § 78m(a) (requiring filing of periodic reports, in accordance with Commission rules and regulations, by every issuer of a security registered under Section 12). 17 C.F.R. §§ 240.13a-1, .13a-13. 11 15 U.S.C. § 78m(a). 12 Advanced Life Scis.

violation of the Exchange Act that only a 'strongly compelling showing' regarding the other . . . factors would justify a sanction less than revocation." 17 Respondent's violations were recurrent in that it has failed to file required annual and quarterly reports over multiple years. Indeed, Respondent remains delinquent and has filed no 18 periodic reports since the issuance of the OIP. These violations are serious because "reporting 19 requirements are 'the primary tool[s] [that] Congress has fashioned for the protection of investors from negligent, careless, and deliberate misrepresentations in the sale of stock and securities.'" An issuer's failure to file periodic reports violates "a central provision of the 20 Exchange Act . . . [,] depriv[ing] both existing and prospective holders of its registered stock of the ability to make informed investment decisions based on current and reliable information." 21 That Respondent repeatedly ignored its reporting obligations evinces "a 'high degree of culpability.'" And because Respondent failed to answer the OIP or respond to the show cause 22 order, it has submitted no evidence of any efforts to remedy its past violations and ensure future compliance. Nor has it made any assurances against further violations. The Commission has recognized that, "in any deregistration[,] current shareholders could be harmed by a diminution in the liquidity and value of their stock by virtue of the deregistration." But Respondent's failure to timely file periodic reports has harmed, and 23 Calais Res. Inc., Exchange Act Release No. 67312, 2012 WL 2499349, at *4 (June 29, 17

continues to harm, both current and prospective shareholders because they must make investment decisions without the current and comprehensive financial information that those reports would provide. Respondent, which has defaulted, has failed to make any showing to 24 justify another sanction (let alone a strongly compelling one). We accordingly find it necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to revoke the registration of each class of Respondent's securities registered under Exchange Act Section 12.
