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 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 ore 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 in preparation for a
return to higher iron ore prices.
Base and Precious Metals investment
Century is monitoring investment and acquisition opportunities. When the right opportunity presents itself, our
strong balance sheet will allow us to invest or acquire undervalued assets during the current down-cycle, positioning ourselves for
gains when the market improves.
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 and eventually throughout China. Initial successes include contracts with one of
the largest egg producers in Australia and supply contracts with hotels, restaurants, grocery chains as well as an international
airline.
Business Development
Century’s award-winning team has harnessed multidisciplinary expertise to build a proprietary bilingual
Chinese/English mining investment evaluation and tracking system. The database tracks more than 1,500 globally listed mining and
mineral resource companies daily, with a primary focus on gold and copper and their 3,000 projects. We are now commercializing the
technology for use by retail and institutional investors, as well as mining professionals worldwide. Century Mining Database can be
