| Item 4.01 | Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant. |
On May 6, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Chilean Cobalt Corp. (the “Company”), approved the dismissal of BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”), which was then serving as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company, effective immediately. The Company subsequently notified Borgers of the dismissal.
The reports of Borgers on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 did not contain any adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle, except that each report on the Company’s consolidated financial statements contained an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern based on the Company’s recurring losses from operations and need for additional capital to fund its current operating plan. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the subsequent interim period through May 6, 2024, the effective date of Borgers’ dismissal, there were (i) no disagreements (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions) between the Company and Borgers on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Borgers would have caused Borgers to make reference thereto in its reports on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for such years, and (ii) no “reportable events” (as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
The Company provided Borgers with a copy of this Form 8-K and requested that Borgers furnish a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not Borgers agrees with the above disclosures. A copy of Borgers’ letter is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
