CENTURY ANNOUNCES FILING OF YEAR END FINANCIAL RESULTS,
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND ANNUAL INFORMATION FORM
Toronto, Canada, June 28, 2019 – Century Global Commodities Corporation (“Century” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has filed its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31,
2019 and the related management d iscussion and analysis (“MD&A”) as well as the Annual Information Form
(“AIF”). Copies of these documents are available under Century’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and will be
posted on Century’s website at www.centuryglobal.ca.
As at March 31, 2019 the Company reported substantial working capital of C$18.9 million, comprised of cash,
bank deposits and an investment portfolio of C$8.1 million (not tied to any funding commitment for any project
development), accounts receivables and other current assets of C$12.5 million, and accounts payable of C$1.7
million.
The seaborne iron ore spot price (US$/dmt for 62% Fe, CIF China) opened 2019 strongly then, due to the Brazilian
tailings dam failure in late January, continued its upward momentum. It broke through US$100/dmt and set a
five-year high in mid-June. These prices well exceed our long-term selling price assumption of US$95/dmt, used
for our flagship Joyce Lake project feasibility study. The iron ore price environment now appears to be more
structural and robust than originally thought, providing a very positive outlook for all our iron ore assets, wit h
spot prices not seen since 2014. Our mining team is ready to advance the Joyce Lake project when the
sustainability of the current market price is proven.
During the year, Century executed its diversification strategy by entering the non-ferrous sector. Trudeau Gold,
our Quebec gold and polymetallic project was spun into Century Metals Inc. (“Century Metals”). A dividend was
distributed to existing Century shareholders and Century Metals was listed on the TSX Venture Exchange,
2
bringing a new non-ferrous shareholder base and new capital to support a focused development plan in the non-
ferrous sector. Century Metals began trading on the TSX-V on June 17, 2019 under the stock symbol CMET.
Over the last financial year, our food segment had another outstanding period of solid growth, delivering close
to 81% year -over-year sales growth to $6 million of sales with a gross margin of 26%. The majority of food
segment sales came from our Hong Kong food distribution business. In addition to solid a nd ongoing sales
growth, the Hong Kong business achieved a net profit in the third quarter and further grew its net profit in the
fourth quarter. For the full year, the Hong Kong distribution business, made a net profit for the first time since
sales began in 2016. At the same time, we continued our China pilot restaurant program.
