REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
– Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia (Celsius 95%)
The Opuwo Cobalt Project is located in northwestern Namibia, approximately 800 km by road from the capital, Windhoek, and approximately 750 km from the port at Walvis Bay. The Project has excellent infrastructure, with the regional capital of Opuwo approximately 30 km to the south, where services such as accommodation, fuel, supplies, and an airport and hospital are available. Good quality bitumen roads connect Opuwo to Windhoek and Walvis Bay. The Ruacana hydro power station (320 MW), which supplies the majority of Namibia’s power, is located nearby, and a 66 kV transmission line passes through the eastern boundary of the Project.

Figure 1: Opuwo Licence and Prospect Map
Celsius completed a Scoping Study on the Opuwo Cobalt Project in November 2018, with the following key outcomes:
-
Confirmed potential for a large scale and long-life operation.
-
Preliminary mine planning completed, examining various open pit and underground mining scenarios.
-
Sulphide concentrate produced from standard flotation methods.
-
Project to produce refined products including cobalt sulphate (or hydroxide/metal), copper metal and zinc sulphate by either autoclave or roasting methods, with the roasting method used as the base case for the purpose of completing the Scoping Study.
-
No deleterious elements identified that would affect the saleability or price of products.
-
Infrastructure components to leverage off existing regional infrastructure, including hydroelectric power and network of sealed roads.
During the early part of 2019, subsequent to the completion of the Scoping Study, the Company completed trade-off and optimisation studies including updated preliminary resource modelling to incorporate new drilling completed since the declaration of the maiden Mineral Resource, and metallurgical test work aimed at verifying assumptions made in the Scoping Study about recovery of the value metals from the Opuwo Project mineralisation using conventional sulphating roast techniques.
A positive economic outcome from the Scoping Study is highly dependent on both a robust cobalt price and successful results from the metallurgical test work. The initial results from the current metallurgical program demonstrated that further test work is required to optimise the process for recovery of the value metals (including cobalt) from the mineralisation, using the roasting flowsheet that was assumed in the Scoping Study. Further work is also required on the alternative processing flowsheet, autoclave leaching, to optimise power and reagent consumption, and therefore operating costs.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [73 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
On March 1, 2019, the Company took the decision to significantly slow work on the evaluation of the Opuwo Project, until such time as the cobalt price improves markedly from current levels. Studies with long lead times, such as environmental studies as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment required for the PFS were continued, as was relatively low cost metallurgical process and mine planning work required to confirm the optimum mining and processing scenarios for the project.
Metallurgical Testwork
Subsequent to the reporting of the Scoping Study, metallurgical testwork continued at the project. Testwork was carried out on the following parts of the process:
-
Flotation optimisation
-
Roasting and extractive leaching
Flotation testwork focused on determining the optimum grind size required to maximise flotation of sulphide minerals. A limited set of reagents have been trialled and further trials are recommended to test the effect of reagents on improving flotation as well as different rougher kinetics. Review of flotation results has identified an irregularity between the chemical assays and mineralogical reports which needs to be understood before these results can be published.
Roasting testwork utilised both fluidised bed and kiln roasting methods. Roasting testwork requires a number of methods and temperatures to be trialled to find the optimum temperature to both extract the metals from the sulphide minerals and control the gases and temperatures present within the kiln to ensure sintering does not occur. Recoveries from these methods varied greatly, indicating that a consistent process has not yet been developed. In addition, initial tests where it was thought sinter was formed have now been reinterpreted to represent formation of ferrite. However, off gas testing has not confirmed the reactions taking place, in part due to the methodology of collecting the gas samples in the testing laboratory. A number of further tests are required to obtain a representative estimate of the recovery possible through roasting, which will then need to be replicated to confirm repeatability.
In summary, any further work relating to the metallurgical process for treating the Opuwo ore will consider both the roasting method described above, and the autoclave leaching method that was originally investigated for treating the ore, which requires optimisation to reduce reagent consumption and implied operating costs.
Environmental Impact Assessment
SLR Namibia was contracted to conduct the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the Opuwo Cobalt Project in January 2019. The EIA forms a substantial part of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
During the June Quarter the Environmental Impact Assessment Scoping Report for the Opuwo Cobalt Project was finalised, reviewed and lodged for public comment, which is considered to be an important step should the Company decide to re-accelerate the evaluation and development of the Project.
Resource Expansion Drilling
Since the maiden Mineral Resource for the Opuwo Cobalt Project was declared on April 16, 2018, a significant amount of additional drilling has been undertaken on the Project aimed at expanding the size, and increasing the data density in the maiden resource, to support more advanced feasibility studies, and expand the scale of a potential mining operation (refer to ASX announcements 10 August 2018, 5 September 2018, 4 October 2018, 16 October 2018, 7 January 2019and 18 March 2019).
A potentially significant extension to the existing Mineral Resource and Exploration Target zones, dubbed the “DOF Northwest Anticline” Target, was confirmed with the latest drilling at the Project. This new zone is characterised by

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [73 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
thicker than average and significantly flatter dipping DOF style mineralisation than occurs elsewhere within the Mineral Resource, allowing the Company to consider alternative mining techniques as part of the ongoing Project studies. Preliminary resource modelling has been undertaken by the Company’s external consultants; however, further drilling is likely to be required in this area to increase the data density and potentially include this area in an updated JORC Compliant Mineral Resource for the Project.

Figure 2: DOF Northwest Anticline Drilling Results
Opuwo Regional Exploration
In addition to work on the Opuwo Cobalt Project a general review of the exploration potential across the Company’s landholdings in Namibia was completed.
A SkyTEM airborne survey was completed during the year, which generated numerous targets for further investigation, as announced 30 November, 2018). Targets at the Opuwo Lineament and Opuwo Corridor were drill tested during the year, with mildly anomalous but generally disappointing results. However, several targets generated from this geophysical program, and supported in some cases by geochemical anomalism and geological structure, remain to be tested.
Mapping and sampling was completed at the Jimi Vanadium Prospect and a review completed of the Otuziru lead-zinc Prospect. A drilling programme was designed for Otuziru to expand upon the existing defined mineralisation and is being considered for implementation in the coming year.

Celsius confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements and, in the case of Mineral Resources, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Celsius confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement. Work programmes aimed at updating the Mineral Resource are incomplete as at the date of this report.
Western Australian Nickel Assets
Celsius holds an interest in a nickel asset in Western Australia. Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) has a 100% interest in the Abednegno Hill Nickel Project to the west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine. The Abednegno Hill tenement is believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation.
Celsius completed a ground EM survey over the Abednegno Hill during October – November 2017. A broad bedrock conductor was delineated in the centre of E39/1684, parallel to a known ultramafic unit. The area is covered by recent cover including a creek system and therefore the geological setting for this conductor is unknown. A smaller, local anomaly was identified in the west of the tenement area, in the centre of the Corkscrew Anticline, where thickening of the known ultramafic units may have occurred. Follow up work programmes at these prospects will include further geophysical surveys with the aim of delineating targets for drilling.
Additionally, the company owns a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL (Joint Venture). Mincor Resources NL (Mincor, ASX:MCR) is the operator of the Carnilya Hill JV. The tenements covered by the Carniilya Hill Joint Venture (JV) include Mining Licences M26/47, M26/48, M26/49 and M26/453. Mincor has not advised the company of any material results from exploration at the Carnilya Hill Project during the year. While the Carnilya Hill Project has several areas which could be of interest at higher nickel prices, the prices making these prospects viable are above the prevailing price therefore Celsius has elected not to contribute to cash calls for the current period and dilute accordingly.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
The consolidated entity continued its activities of mineral exploration and mineral extraction.
The directors are not aware of any other significant change in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity that occurred during the financial year other than as reported elsewhere in the Annual Report.

FINANCIAL POSITION
The net assets of the consolidated entity has decreased to $22,036,352 as at 30 June 2019, a decrease of $281,852 from net assets of $22,318,204 at 30 June 2018.
The consolidated entity’s net working capital, being current assets less current liabilities is net current assets of $6,834,403 (2018: $13,382,201).
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
The directors are not aware of any matters or circumstances that have arisen since the end of the financial year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity the results of those operations, or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in future financial years.
LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS
The directors believe, on reasonable grounds, that to include in this report particular information regarding likely developments in the operations of the company and the expected results of those operations in future financial years would be speculative and likely to result in unreasonable prejudice to the company. Accordingly, this information has not been included in this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
The company’s operations are not regulated by any significant environmental regulation under a law of the Commonwealth or of a State or Territory. The directors have considered the enacted National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 (the “NGER Act”) which introduces a single national reporting framework for the reporting and dissemination of information about the greenhouse gas emissions, greenhouse gas projects, and energy use and production of corporations. At the current stage of development, the directors have determined that the NGER Act will have no effect on the company for the current or subsequent financial year. The directors will reassess this position as and when the need arises.

REMUNERATION REPORT (Audited)
This report details the nature and amount of the remuneration for each key management person of Celsius Resources Limited for 30 June 2019.
The remuneration report is set out under the following headings:
-
A Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
-
B Details of remuneration
-
C Service agreements
-
D Share-based compensation
-
E Option holdings
-
F Shareholdings

G Performance rights holdings H Related party disclosures
The information provided under headings H includes remuneration disclosures that are required under accounting Standard AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures. These disclosures have been transferred from the financial report and have been audited.
A. Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration
In determining competitive remuneration rates, the Board, acting in its capacity as the remuneration committee, seeks independent advice on local and international trends among comparative companies and industry generally. It examines terms and conditions for employee incentive schemes benefit plans and share plans. Independent advice may be obtained to confirm that executive remuneration is in line with market practice and is reasonable in the context of Australian executive reward practices.
The Board recognises that Celsius Resources Limited operates in a global environment. To prosper in this environment we must attract, motivate and retain key executive staff.
Market Comparisons
Consistent with attracting and retaining talented executives, the Board endorses the use of incentive and bonus payments. The Board will continue to seek external advice to ensure reasonableness in remuneration scale and structure, and to compare the company’s position with the external market. The impact and high cost of replacing senior employees and the competition for talented executives requires the committee to reward key employees when they deliver consistently high performance.
11
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [73 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
Board Remuneration
Shareholders approve the maximum aggregate remuneration for non-executive directors, which currently stands at $300,000 per annum, as approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on 21 November 2006. The Board determines actual payments to directors and reviews their remuneration annually based on independent external advice with regard to market practice, relativities, and the duties and accountabilities of directors. A review of directors’ remuneration is conducted annually to benchmark overall remuneration including retirement benefits.
Performance-based Remuneration
The company has established a Performance Rights Plan (“PRP”) to provide ongoing incentives to directors, executives and employees of the company. The objective of the PRP is to provide the company with a remuneration mechanism, through the issue of securities in the capital of the company, to motivate and reward the performance of the directors and employees in achieving specified performance milestones within a specified performance period. The Board will ensure that the performance milestones attached to the securities issued pursuant to the PRP are aligned with the successful growth of the company’s business activities.
The directors and employees of the company have been, and will continue to be, instrumental in the growth of the company. The directors consider that the PRP is an appropriate method to:
- (a) reward directors and employees for their past performance; (b) provide long term incentives for participation in the company’s future growth; (c) motivate directors and generate loyalty from senior employees; and (d) assist to retain the services of valuable directors and employees.
Group Performance, Shareholder Wealth and Directors and Executives Remuneration
The remuneration policy has been tailored to increase the direct positive relationship between shareholder’s investment objectives and director’s and executive’s performance. Currently, directors and executives are encouraged to hold shares in the company to ensure the alignment of personal and shareholder interests. The company provides performance based remuneration via their Performance Rights Plan. No Performance Rights are currently on issue.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019
==> picture [74 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
These consolidated financial statements and notes represent those of Celsius Resources Limited and its controlled entities (the “consolidated entity” or “Group”).
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 30 September 2019 by the directors of the company.
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements are general purpose financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, Interpretations of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. The consolidated entity is a for-profit entity for financial reporting purposes under Australian Accounting Standards. Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Except for cash flow information, these financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, modified, where applicable, by the measurement at fair value of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities.
a) Comparatives
When required by accounting standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial year.
b) Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all entities controlled by Celsius Resources Limited at the end of the reporting period. A controlled entity is any entity over which Celsius Resources Limited has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the entity’s activities. Control will generally exist where the parent owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, more than half of the voting power of an entity. In assessing the power to govern, the existence and effect of holdings of actual and potential voting rights are also considered.
Where controlled entities have entered or left the consolidated entity during the year, the financial performance of those entities are included only for the period of the year that they were controlled.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-group balances and transactions between entities in the consolidated entity have been eliminated on consolidation. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with those adopted by the parent entity.
Non-controlling interests, being the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent, are shown separately within the Equity section of the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The non-controlling interests in the net assets comprise their interests at the date of the original business combination and their share of changes in equity since that date.
c) Parent entity
In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, these financial statements present the results of the consolidated entity only. Supplementary information about the parent entity is disclosed in Note 23.
d) Income tax
The income tax expense (revenue) for the year comprises current income tax expense (income) and deferred tax expense (income).
Current income tax expense charged to the profit or loss is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at the end of the reporting period. Current tax liabilities (assets) are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to (recovered from) the relevant taxation authority.
28
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)
==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses.
Current and deferred income tax expense (income) is charged or credited directly to equity instead of the profit or loss when the tax relates to items that are credited or charged directly to equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.
Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.
Where temporary differences exist in relation to investments in subsidiaries, branches, associates, and joint ventures, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is not probable that the reversal will occur in the foreseeable future.
Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
Tax consolidation
Celsius Resources Limited and its wholly-owned Australian subsidiaries have formed an income tax consolidated group under the tax consolidation legislation. Each entity in the consolidated entity recognises its own current and deferred tax liabilities, except for any deferred tax liabilities resulting from unused tax losses and tax credits, which are immediately assumed by the parent entity. The consolidated entity notified the Australian Tax Office that it had formed an income tax consolidated group to apply from 12 August 2003. The tax consolidated group has entered a tax sharing agreement whereby each company in the consolidated entity contributes to the income tax payable in proportion to their contribution to the net profit before tax of the tax consolidated group.
e) Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method, less any allowances for expected credit losses. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 120 days.
The consolidated entity has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses, which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance. To measure the expected losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on days overdue.
Other receivables are recognised at amortised cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
f) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment are measured on the cost basis.
The carrying amount of plant and equipment is reviewed annually by directors to ensure it is not in excess of the recoverable amount from these assets. The recoverable amount is assessed on the basis of the expected net cash flows that will be received from the asset’s employment and subsequent disposal. The expected net cash flows have been discounted to their present values in determining recoverable amounts.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The depreciable amount of all plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives to the consolidated entity commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use.
The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These gains and losses are included in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
g) Impairment of assets
At the end of each reporting period, the consolidated entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset is impaired. The assessment will include the consideration of external and internal sources of information including dividends received from subsidiaries, associates or jointly controlled entities deemed to be out of preacquisition profits. If such an indication exists, an impairment test is carried out on the asset by comparing the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is recognised immediately in the profit or loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount in accordance with another standard (e.g. in accordance with the revaluation model in AASB 116). Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other standard.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the consolidated entity estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
h) Current and Non-Current Classification
Assets and liabilities are presented in the statement of financial position based on current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when: it is either expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period or the asset is cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when: it is either expected to be settled in normal operating cycle; it is held primarily for the purpose of trading; it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation expenditures are written off as incurred, except when such costs are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation, or sale, of an area of interest. In addition, exploration assets recognised on acquisition of an entity are carried forward provided that exploration and/or evaluation activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing.
The expenditure carried forward when recovery is expected represents an accumulation of direct net exploration and evaluation costs incurred by or on behalf of the consolidated entity and applicable indirect costs, in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current.
If it is established subsequently that economically recoverable reserves exist in a particular area of interest, resulting in the decision to develop a commercial mining operation, then in that year the accumulated expenditure attributable to that area, to the extent that it does not exceed the recoverable amount for the area concerned, will be transferred to mine development. As such it will be subsequently amortised against production from that area. Any excess of accumulated expenditure over recoverable amounts will be written off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
j) Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the consolidated entity prior to the end of the financial year and which are unpaid. Due to their short-term nature they are measured at amortised cost and are not discounted. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.
k) Issued Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
l) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with short periods to maturity and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the statement of financial position.
m) Other Income
Interest
Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial interest to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
n) Employee benefits
Equity-settled compensation
The consolidated entity operates equity-settled share based payment employee share and option schemes. The fair value of the equity to which employees become entitled is measured at grant date and recognised as an expense over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase to an equity account.
Share based payments to non-employees are measured at the fair value of goods or services received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, if it is determined the fair value of the good or services cannot be reliably measured, and are recorded at the date the goods or services are received. The corresponding amount is shown in the option reserve.
The fair value of shares is ascertained as the market bid price. The fair value of options is ascertained using an appropriate valuation model which incorporates all market vesting conditions. The number of shares and options expected to vest is reviewed and adjusted at the end of each reporting period such that the amount recognised for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted shall be based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
o) Goods and services tax (“GST”)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST, except where the amount of GST incurred is not recoverable from the Australian Tax Office. In these circumstances the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of an item of the expense. Receivables and payables in the statement of financial position are shown inclusive of GST.
Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.
p) Earnings per share
(i) Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing net profit after income tax attributable to members of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.
(ii) Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.
q) Foreign currency translation
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Celsius Resources Ltd’s functional and presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the transaction at the financial year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
32
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)
==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated into Australian dollars using the average exchange rates, which approximate the rates of the transactions, for the period. All resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income through the foreign currency reserve in equity.
The foreign currency reserve is recognised in profit or loss when the foreign operation or net investment is disposed of.
r) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the consolidated entity has a present (legal or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable the consolidated entity will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. If the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate specific to the liability.
s) Segment reporting
A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.
r) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Classification of financial assets
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety in at either amortised cost or fair value, depending on the classification of the financial assets.
Amortised cost:
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at amortised cost:
-
a. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Fair value through other comprehensive income:
Debt instruments that meet the following conditions are measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI):
-
a. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the financial assets; and
-
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
Fair value through profit or loss:
By default, all other financial assets are measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
The measurement of classifications applicable to the Group are as follows:
Amortised cost and effective interest method:
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a debt instrument and of allocating interest income over the relevant period.
‑ For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets (i.e. assets that are credit ‑ impaired on initial recognition), the effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums or discounts) excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the debt instrument, or, where appropriate, a shorter period, to the gross carrying ‑ amount of the debt instrument on initial recognition. For purchased or originated credit impaired financial ‑ assets, a credit adjusted effective interest rate is calculated by discounting the estimated future cash flows, including expected credit losses, to the amortised cost of the debt instrument on initial recognition.
The amortised cost of a financial asset is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount, adjusted for any loss allowance. The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortised cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any loss allowance.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method for debt instruments measured subsequently at amortised cost and at FVTOCI. For financial assets other than purchased or originated credit ‑ impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for financial assets that have subsequently become credit ‑ impaired (see below). For financial assets that have subsequently become credit ‑ impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If, in ‑ subsequent reporting periods, the credit risk on the credit impaired financial instrument improves so that the ‑ financial asset is no longer credit impaired, interest income is recognised by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset.
‑ For purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, the Group recognises interest income by ‑ applying the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset from initial recognition. The calculation does not revert to the gross basis even if the credit risk of the financial asset ‑ subsequently improves so that the financial asset is no longer credit impaired.
Classification of financial liabilities
All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination, held for trading or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss.
Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities
The measurement of classifications applicable to the Group are as follows:
Amortised cost:
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate, transactions costs and other premiums or discounts) through the expected life of the financial liability, or (where appropriate) a shorter period, to the amortised cost of a financial liability.
Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)
==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
De-recognition
Financial assets are de-recognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
s) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the consolidated entity.
There have been no judgements, apart from those involving estimation, in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.
Following is a summary of the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation at reporting date that have not been disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements.
Exploration and evaluation expenditure
Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that the consolidated entity will commence commercial production in the future, from which time the costs will be amortised in proportion to the depletion of the mineral resources. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised. In addition, costs are only capitalised that are expected to be recovered either through successful development or sale of the relevant mining interest. Factors that could impact the future commercial production at the mine include the level of reserves and resources, future technology changes, which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes and changes in commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised costs are determined not to be recoverable in the future, they will be written off in the period in which this determination is made.
Share based payment transactions
The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using either the Binomial or Black-Scholes model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
AASB 16: Leases
This standard is applicable to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. The standard replaces AASB 117 'Leases' and for lessees will eliminate the classifications of operating leases and finance leases. Subject to exceptions, a 'right-of-use' asset will be capitalised in the statement of financial position, measured at the present value of the unavoidable future lease payments to be made over the lease term. The exceptions relate to short-term leases of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets (such as personal computers and small office furniture) where an accounting policy choice exists whereby either a 'right-of-use' asset is recognised or lease payments are expensed to profit or loss as incurred. A liability corresponding to the capitalised lease will also be recognised, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received, initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of any future restoration, removal or dismantling costs. Straight-line operating lease expense recognition will be replaced with a depreciation charge for the leased asset (included in operating costs) and an interest expense on the recognised lease liability (included in finance costs). In the earlier periods of the lease, the expenses associated with the lease under AASB 16 will be higher when compared to lease expenses under AASB 117. However EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) results will be improved as the operating expense is replaced by interest expense and depreciation in profit or loss under AASB 16. For classification within the statement of cash flows, the lease payments will be separated into both a principal (financing activities) and interest (either operating or financing activities) component. For lessor accounting, the standard does not substantially change how a lessor accounts for leases. The consolidated entity will adopt this standard from 1 July 2019 but the impact of its adoption is expected to be minimal.

On 29 July 2017 the company acquired a 30% interest in the Opuwo Cobalt Project, through its wholly owned subsidiary Opuwo Cobalt Pty Ltd (‘OPU’), by acquiring 30% of the shares on issue in Gecko Cobalt Holdings (Pty) Ltd (‘GCH’), which in turn holds 100% of the shares on issue in Gecko Cobalt Mining (Pty) Ltd (‘GCM’). GCM holds the original Opuwo exploration licence and the acquisition included a further three new exploration licences surrounding the original Opuwo licence held. The acquisition was completed upon the confirmation that AUD$500,000 had been spent by the company on the Opuwo Cobalt Project.
On 13 September 2017 as consideration for acquiring a further 65% of GCH the company issued 43,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.04 each at an aggregate value of $1,750,000. An additional AUD$2,000,000 of farm-in expenditure by the company on the Opuwo Cobalt Project up to this acquisition date was included in the cost of the acquisition.
Management has determined that the acquisition of 95% interest GCH did not meet the definition of a business within AASB 3 Business Combinations.
During the year 2019 year, EPL 4350 was relinquished. The expenditure written off during the year was in relation to this tenement.
Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent on the successful exploration and sale of the mineral resource.

b) Capital Management
The objectives of management when managing capital is to safeguard the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, so that the consolidated entity may continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders.
Due to the nature of the consolidated entity’s activities, being mineral exploration, the consolidated entity does not have ready access to credit facilities, with the primary source of funding being equity raisings. Therefore, the focus of the consolidated entity’s capital risk management is the current working capital position against the requirements of the consolidated entity to meet exploration programmes and corporate overheads. The consolidated entity’s strategy is to ensure appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet anticipated operating requirements, with a view to initiating appropriate capital raisings as required. The working capital position of the consolidated entity at 30 June 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

24. Financial Risk Management
The consolidated entity’s principal financial instruments comprise cash and short-term deposits. The consolidated entity has various other financial assets and liabilities such as other receivables and payables, which arise directly from its operations.
The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including, credit risk, liquidity risk, foreign exchange rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk. The company is not exposed to price risk.
Risk management is carried out by the Board of Directors, who evaluates and agree upon risk management and objectives.
(a) Market Risk
Interest rate risk
The consolidated entity’s exposure to interest rate risk, which is the risk that a financial instrument’s value will fluctuate as a result of changes in market interest rates and the effective weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and financial liabilities comprises:
| 2019 | Floating Interest Rate |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)
==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
The consolidated entity policy is to monitor the interest rate yield curve out to six months to ensure a balance is maintained between the liquidity of cash assets and the interest rate return. Cash at bank and in hand earns interest at floating rates based on daily bank deposit rates. The consolidated entity does not have any receivables or payables that may be affected by interest rate risk.
Sensitivity analysis
At 30 June 2019, if interest rates had changed by -/+100 basis points from the weighted average rate for the year with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for both the consolidated entity and the parent entity would have been $87,141 (2018: $37,848) lower/higher as a result of lower/higher interest income from cash and cash equivalents. Management have deemed a movement of 100 basis points to be an appropriate measure for this sensitivity analysis.
(b) Credit risk
The consolidated entity does not have any significant concentrations of credit risk. Credit risk is managed by the Board of Directors and arises from cash and cash equivalents as well as credit exposure including outstanding receivables.
All cash balances held in Australia are held at internationally recognised institutions.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date is the carrying amount of the financial assets disclosed within the financial report.
The credit quality of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about default rates.
Financial assets that are neither past due and not impaired are as follows:
| Financial assets - counterparties without external credit rating Financial assets with no defaults in the past Cash and cash equivalents ‘AA’ S&P rating |
2019 2018 $ $ 366,469 842,336 |
|---|---|
| 6,655,181 12,393,058 |
(c) Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash balances and access to equity funding.
The consolidated entity’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relate primarily to cash assets.
The directors monitor the cash-burn rate of the consolidated on an on-going basis against budget and the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities to manage its liquidity risk.
The financial liabilities the consolidated entity had at reporting date were other payables incurred in the normal course of the business. These were non interest bearing and were due within the normal 30-60 days terms of creditor payments.
Maturity analysis for financial liabilities
Financial liabilities of the consolidated entity comprise trade and other payables. As at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018 all financial liabilities are contractually maturing within 60 days.
50
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2019 (continued)
==> picture [75 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
(d) Foreign currency risk
Foreign exchange risks arise when future commercial transactions and recognised financial assets and financial liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
As at 30 June 2019, the consolidated entity holds minimal funds in foreign currency bank accounts so the foreign currency risk is minimal.
(e) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. All financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated entity at the reporting date are recorded at amounts approximating their carrying amount.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the consolidated entity is the current bid price. At reporting date the consolidated entity had no such financial assets.
The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.
25. Contingent Assets and Liabilities
The consolidated entity had no contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2018.
26. Company Details

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial report of Celsius Resources Limited (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and the directors' declaration.
In our opinion the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
-
(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
-
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed this matter |
|---|---|
| Deferred Exploration and Evaluation Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements |
|
| The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure, with a carrying value of $15,434,702 as at 30 June 2019. We determined this to be a key audit matter due to the significant management judgments involved in assessing the carrying value of the asset including: Determination of whether expenditure can be associated with finding specific mineral resources and the basis on which that expenditure is allocated to an area of interest; Determination of whether exploration activities have progressed to the stage at which the existence of an economically recoverable mineral reserve may be assessed; and Assessing whether any indicators of impairment are present and, if so, judgments applied to determine and quantify any impairment loss. |
Our audit procedures included: Obtaining evidence that the Group has valid rights to explore in the specific area of interest; Agreeing a sample of additions to capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure to supporting documentation and ensuring that the amounts were capital in nature and relate to the area of interest; Reviewing and enquiring with management the basis on which they have determined that the exploration and evaluation of mineral resources has not yet reached the stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves; Enquiring with management and reviewing budgets and other documentation as evidence that active and significant operations in, or relation to, the area of interest will be continued in the future; and Critically assessing and evaluating management’s assessment that no indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date. |
Other Information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Group's annual report for the year ended 30 June 2019, but does not include the financial report and the auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: http://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
