CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

==> picture [74 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

It is my pleasure to present Celsius Resources Limited’s (“CLA”) Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022, in which the Company has substantially advanced its copper-gold assets in the Philippines and partially implemented a plan to generate value for our shareholders in relation to its Opuwo Copper Cobalt Project in Namibia.

Philippines

MCB Copper Gold Project: after completing a maiden JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of 313.8 million tonnes @ 0.48% copper and 0.15g/t gold, for 1.5 million tonnes of contained copper and 1.47 million ounces of contained gold, our Philippine team headed by Peter Hume has continued to deliver project milestone achievements at an incredible pace including:

a) Outstanding drill results with intersections such as MCB 38 showing 611m at 1.39% Cu and 0.75 g/p/t Au. I am looking forward to an updated JORC Mineral Resource Statement later this year, which will feed these results into a revised mine plan and ore reserve as a basis for the Feasibility Study improving the overall cash flow early in the mine life;

b) A signed off Scoping study to mine its High Grade Core with ~50Mt material at 1.1% CuEq over 25 years; and

c) A community development program which follows a participatory process that institutes mechanisms for inculcating a sense of ownership for more effective and sustainable outcomes with our host Balatoc community.

The Company’s Negros Island Sagay project has also progressed. The project appears to contain very large-scale porphyry copper mineralisation that remains open at depth. Drilling during the year ended 30 June 2022, drilling confirms the promising continuity of that mineralisation at shallower levels.

Namibia Opuwo Project

During the year, the Company successfully completed an upgraded JORC Compliant Resource, which demonstrates an estimated resource comprising 225.5 Mt at 0.12% Co, 0.43% Cu and 0.54% Zn. This is a globally significant resource containing 259,000 tonnes of contained Co, and 970,000 tonnes of contained Cu. The Company also completed nine diamond drill holes for future metallurgical optimisation work, which includes ongoing roasting and tank leach test work as well as separate test work for hydrometallurgical downstream processing.

Much of this work carried out in both the Philippines and Namibia was under difficult circumstances with Covid-19 uncertainty, climate change-linked events as well as national elections in the Philippines.

On that note, the Company welcomes the new government of President Marcos in the Philippines and positive statements as to the importance on responsible mining in the post-Covid economic revival.

The Company has ambitious goals in environmental stewardship and our MCB Project is designed to achieve ESG excellence. We also work to improve the lives of our host communities by working hand in hand with them in a variety of community enhancement projects, in addition seeking to act as a catalyst for sustainability.

During the period to date, we have significantly refreshed the composition of the board of CLA directors to ensure we have the appropriate mix of skills, experience and diversity. In this regard, I welcome Peter Hume to the board as Executive Director and Michael Hulmes, Julito Sarmiento, Simon Farrell and Jonathan Colvile as valuable Non-Executive Directors.

Having spent a considerable portion of my career developing copper-gold assets in the Philippines, which included the development from feasibility to production of one of the country’s most successful copper mines, I can attest to the quality of CLA’s assets.

I would like to thank all our loyal shareholders who have joined us on this exciting journey to date, and look forward to providing more positive news on our prospective projects.

Yours faithfully,

Martin Buckingham Executive Chairman

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Corporate

During the financial year, $3.5 million was raised to progress activities at the Company’s flagship project, Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold (MCB) Project, along with expenditures for the Opuwo Cobalt Project to undertake drilling and metallurgical test work and carry-out necessary revisions to the scoping study. along with undertaking resource analysis, modeling, and continue field operations for the Sagay Project.

The company’s operations were extensively hampered during the period by COVID restrictions which impacted field operations and travel. The Philippine National Government recognized this and granted 6-month tenement permit extensions to both the MCB and Sagay projects.

CLA has recently announced its intention to spin-off the Opuwo Cobalt Project and will be looking for a partner for the Sagay Project which will allow for a more focused effort on MCB Project in the Philippines.

As part of the company’s development objective to develop an operating mine within the next three years, it has announced that it would seek admission to trading on the AIM Market of the London stock exchange to attract larger investment groups to support its development plans.

Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project, Philippines (Celsius-100%)

Makilala Mining Company, Inc (“MMCI”)., Celsius’ Philippine subsidiary, continues to progress towards securing government and community approvals for the Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project (“MCB” or “the Project” ) in the Cordillera Administrative Region, approximately 320km north of Manila.

The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) has given the MCB Project priority status to fast-track project permitting approvals and mine development based on the positive outcomes of the technical studies.

Technical Studies

A Scoping Study was carried out to assess the technical and financial viability of the MCB Project as a basis for determining if a Feasibility Study is warranted, along with other future work program. The study also aimed at investigating the various permitting and national government approvals, anticipated environmental and social impacts, and mandatory commitments, including any significant risks and opportunities that may affect its viability and the ability to advance MCB towards project development and operations by tapping into its full potential.

Results of the study indicated that the MCB Project is technically robust and financially viable based on outcomes of drilling programs from 2006-2021, Maiden Mineral JORC Resource (January 2021), and technical studies/assessments, which were carried out by MMCI internal and external experts, both locally and internationally.

Future works and field investigations are being carried out to provide further information for the engineering of the underground mine and surface infrastructure plans and designs at the feasibility level.

Community Development Program

Implementation of social development programs with the community is gaining ground. Institutional development interventions, as well as assistance to education, health, and infrastructure along with promotion of socio-cultural traditions are well underway. One notable activity during the period was the joint training of MMCI employees and local health workers as first aid responders which is crucial in times of emergencies as the nearest hospital is about two hours away from the project site. The local government and the community are supportive and active in raising the needed counterpart as part of their commitments.

Environmental Work Program

Social and Environmental Studies were carried out and completed in partnership with a local state university, results of which served as baseline data for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the MCB project. Further field data gathering was conducted by a third-party expert to anticipate possible or indicative impacts of the MCB Project in four main sectors: Air, Water, Land, and People, during construction and operations. Research results feed into the EIA Report which has been submitted to the National Government in the form of an Environmental Impact Statement to support the project’s application for an Environmental Compliance Certificate as part of the mine permit requirements.

Permitting and Approvals

Preparatory activities are on-track to support the application for the Declaration of Mine Project Feasibility and Mineral Production Sharing Agreement as the project proceeds through various government and community approval phases. These include obtaining the Environmental Compliance Certificate, and securing Free, Prior and Informed Consent of the community, among others.

Sagay Copper-Gold Project, Philippines (100%)

Celsius Resources’ Philippine Subsidiary, Tambuli Mining Company, Inc.(“TMCI”) was granted a two-year Exploration Permit on 11 August 2021 for the Sagay Copper-Gold Project, in the northern tip of Negros Occidental. It is the second copper-gold asset of CLA in the Philippines which is expected to complement the MCB project and add significant value to shareholders and the Company.

Exploration Work Program

The approved exploration work program was an updated plan based on the result of an internal resource model which highlights specific drilling areas that should be targeted to obtain improved results. This would allow the Company to proceed with a concept study to establish the pathway to project development.

Four drill holes were completed for the period with an aggregate depth of 2,441m. The first drill hole was designed to prove and consolidate the eastern extents of the deep large-scale porphyry copper-gold mineralisation interpreted from the earlier historical drilling data. The other three drill holes were designed to test the up-dip shallow extensions of the large, deep, higher-grade porphyry copper mineralisation.

Core samples for metallurgical testing were collected simultaneously with the geochemical sampling.

Assay results from three drill holes confirmed shallow extensions to the large copper mineralisation at depths of less than 45 metres. It also identified extensive geological alteration and other features which are interpreted to be linked to the porphyry copper mineralisation at Sagay. These results highlight the potential for large-scale Cu-Au mineralisation which extend up close to surface. Drilling was suspended in June to allow the technical team to review the current drilling results in conjunction with data from historical drill holes. The review will help augment the position of future drill holes to maximise success and guarantee that it will intercept the extension of the identified significant near surface mineralisation zones. It will also allow the Company to produce a JORC Mineral resource estimate prior to proceeding with its intended work programs.

Opuwo Cobalt-Copper 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.

The Opuwo Project consists of three Exclusive Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,001 km2. (Figure 1)

Resource Drilling

CLA launched a drilling program which composed of nine large diameter (PQ) diamond drill holes for a total of 1,089m. The drill holes were designed to obtain metallurgical samples for future optimisation work. Therefore, core samples had to (a) reflect possible variability along strike of the strongly stratabound ore body, (b) intercept the ore zone below oxidation which usually reaches 20 to 50m in depth, and (c) optimise sample mass recovery in each hole by intercepting the ore zone under a very shallow angle from the hanging wall to the footwall. The obtained drill core is regarded as representative for the DOF (Dolostone Ore Formation) and wider DOF mineralisation of the Opuwo Cobalt deposit.

The prepared core samples will be sent to Maelgwyn Mineral Services in Johannesburg, South-Africa for analysis, with blending and further optimisation flotation test work to be carried out along with metallurgical test work to support future feasibility studies.

Metallurgically Work Program

The metallurgical test work commenced this year after it was halted in 2019 due to low cobalt prices. Approximately 1 tonne of a blended sulphide ore composite was retrieved from historical RC samples. A 36kg concentrate sample was produced by rougher flotation at Maelgwyn Mineral Services Laboratory. Optimisation of flotation was not included in the current scope of work.

The bulk sulphide concentrate was submitted for roasting & tank leach test works to Mintek Laboratories. The potential cobalt and copper extraction was determined after roasting at about 680C and leaching using sulphuric acid.

Initial results for the primary roasting & tank leach test work demonstrated recoveries up to 95% for cobalt and 98% for copper. This was a significant improvement from the 2018 autoclave leaching metallurgy test results for the sulphide ore compared to the historical recoveries of 72.6% Co and 74.1% Cu.

The roasting & tank leach test work results are encouraging and demonstrate that the Opuwo ore is amenable to this downstream processing method. Further delineation testing of the roasting & tank leach parameters will be undertaken at Mintek to finalise the process flow sheet.

Samples for hydrometallurgical testing were dispatched to Australia so that test work can commence.

Lachlan Fold Belt Projects, Australia (Celsius – 100%)

The Company entered into a tenement sale agreement with Second String Pty Ltd (“Second String”) for the sale of its 100% interest in EL 8996 located in the Lachlan Fold Belt, NSW. The terms of the sale are as follows: 1. Second String to pay $25,000 cash to Celsius 2. Second String to issue $200,000 in value of fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of the issuing company, the value is to be calculated based on the volume weighted average price of shares during the immediately preceding 15 days. Completion of the agreement is conditional upon Second String completing a Listing Agreement and the satisfaction of regulatory approvals. If the conditions are not satisfied (or waived) by 30 September 2022, either party may terminate the agreement.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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.

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.

The following summarises the performance of the consolidated entity over the last 5 financial years:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022

==> picture [74 x 30] 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 2022 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.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis that contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss of $3,917,778 and had cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $3,030,854 and $5,370,604 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2022. As at that date, net current liabilities of $1,270,197. As a result, the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on it being able to secure funding through equity raises, which may be supplemented by further reduction in operating costs.

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the Group will continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report, after consideration of the following factors:

  • The Group has the ability to curtail its exploration activities in order to conserve cash if and as required;

  • The Group has the ability to raise further funds through capital raisings as and when required as it has successfully achieved in the past; and

  • The Group may wish to raise funds through debt facility or similar in the future as it pursues the development of its MCB project located in the Philippines.

Accordingly, the directors believes that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.

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.

34

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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 22.

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.

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.

35

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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.

f) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write off the net cost of each item of property, plant and equipment (excluding land) over their expected useful lives as follows:

Plant and equipment 3-10 years
Motor vehicles 5 years
Furniture’s and fixtures 5- 10 years

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each reporting date.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when there is no future economic benefit to the consolidated entity. Gains and losses between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds are taken to profit or loss. Any revaluation surplus reserve relating to the item disposed of is transferred directly to retained profits.

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 pre-acquisition 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 accounting standard. Any impairment loss of a revalued asset is treated as a revaluation decrease in accordance with that other accounting 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 noncurrent.

i) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure in relation to separate areas of interest for which rights of tenure are current is carried forward as an asset in the statement of financial position where it is expected that the expenditure will be recovered through the successful development and exploitation of an area of interest, or by its sale; or exploration activities are continuing in an area and activities have not reached a stage which permits a reasonable estimate of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves.

Where a project or an area of interest has been abandoned, the expenditure incurred thereon is written off in the year in which the decision is made.

36

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2022 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

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.

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.

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

p) Earnings/ loss per share

  • (i) Basic earnings/ loss per share

Basic earnings/loss 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/ loss per share

Diluted earnings/loss per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings/loss 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 currenc y translation

The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Celsius Resources Limited’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.

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.

t) 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.

At each reporting date, the financial assets are assessed for impairment.

u) 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 activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. 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.

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 BlackScholes 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.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

Judgement has been exercised in considering the impacts that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had, or may have, on the consolidated entity based on known information. This consideration extends to the nature of the products and services offered, customers, supply chain, staffing and geographic regions in which the consolidated entity operates. Other than as addressed in specific notes, there does not currently appear to be either any significant impact upon the financial statements or any significant uncertainties with respect to events or conditions which may impact the Company unfavourably as at the reporting date or subsequently as a result of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

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 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

1 Performance rights

During the year, the consolidated entity granted 25,150,000 performance rights, with a total affair value of $606,586. This figure represents the fair value at grant date before considering the best available estimates of the number of performance rights with nonmarket based vesting conditions that are expected to vest.

After taking into account the probabilities of vesting criteria being met and the expected vesting date, the value expensed in relation to these performance rights during the year was $268,348 with the remaining fair value amount to be expensed on the vesting conditions over the vesting period. The expense realised in respect to the performance rights is intended to reflect the vest available estimate of the number of performance rights expected to vest.

The following performance rights issued during the period were valued using a Hoadleys Hybrid ESO5 pricing model with the valuation model inputs used to determine the fair value at grant date as follows:

23. 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:

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.

The interest rate risk to the consolidated entity is not material.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 JUNE 2022 (continued)

==> picture [75 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

(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

2021
$

227,689
198,948
1,289,845
6,484,053

(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 2022 and 30 June 2021 all financial liabilities are contractually maturing within 60 days.

(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 2022, 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.

24. Contingent assets and liabilities

The consolidated entity had no contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021.

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 2022, 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 2022 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.

==> picture [484 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [118 x 62] intentionally omitted <==

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1, which indicates that the Group incurred a loss of $3,917,778 and had net operating and investing cash outflows of $3,030,854 and $5,370,604 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2022. As at that date, the Group had net current liabilities of $1,270,197. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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. In addition to the matter described in the Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Key Audit Matter
How our audit addressed this matter
Deferred Exploration Expenditure -Refer to Note 9 in the financial statements





The
Group
has
capitalised
exploration
and
evaluation expenditure, with a carrying value of
$28,242,540 as at 30 June 2022.
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:

Assessing the Group’s accounting policy for
compliance with Australian Accounting Standards;

Assessing whether the Group’s right to tenure of
each relevant area of interest is current;

Testing, on a sample basis, additions of capitalised
exploration
and
evaluation
expenditure
to
supporting documentation, including assessing
whether amounts are capitalised in accordance
with the Group’s accounting policy;

Assessing
and
evaluating
management’s
assessment
of
whether
any
indicators
of
impairment existed at the reporting date;

Assessed the impairment expense recognised by
the Group for the year ended;

Assessing
management’s
determination
that
exploration and evaluation activities have not yet
reached a stage where the existence or otherwise
of economically recoverable reserves may be
reasonably determined;

Enquiring with management and reading budgets
and other supporting documentation to corroborate
that active and significant operations in, or relation
to, each relevant area of interest will be continued in
the future; and

Assessing the adequacy of disclosures in the
financial report.

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 2022, 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: https://www.auasb.gov.au/auditors_responsibilities/ar1.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
