CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
==> picture [71 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
It has been an exciting year for Celsius as we achieved important milestones from our Philippine assets.
First and foremost is the issuance of the mining permit for our flagship MCB Project which is a first for a copper project in the Philippines in the last 15 years. In the last few months, we have exerted all our efforts to fulfill the conditions of the mining permit. Our technical team has been working on refining the front-end engineering design in preparation for mine development and construction.
We have also completed the required Feasibility Study, social and environmental plans and programs of the Sagay Project to comply with of application for a Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau. In line with this, we are finalizing the Environmental Impact Assessment to secure an Environmental Compliance Certificate.
The announcement of the MCB mine permit has generated interests from international and national investors. We are currently well progressed in exploring funding partnership options to develop the project which would bring value to our shareholders.
We have also successfully completed and closed a placement on AIM where we raise approximately £922,000 through the placing of 153,666,663 new Ordinary Shares and 153,666,663 new warrants. The net proceeds from the placing is being applied to progress our projects and corporate costs in accordance with the companies development strategy.
With the issuance of the mine permit, Peter Hume has stepped down as Managing Director to concentrate on the development of the MCB Project while remaining a Celsius’ Non-Executive Director.
Our fellow shareholder, Mark van Kerkwijk, has joined the CLA Board as Executive Director for Investor Relations, Public Relations and Marketing to look after investment opportunities for the Celsius’ portfolio of assets.
We also thank Michael Hulmes and Simon Farrell for their invaluable contributions to the Company as they left the CLA Board.
Navigating the challenges of a small-cap company is no mean feat. Your unwavering support and faith in our capabilities, coupled with the trust of our stakeholders in the government and the community, have encouraged us to carry on and achieve great strides.
Our sincere gratitude for journeying with us through the years as we look forward to more fruitful years together as our valued shareholders.
Yours faithfully,

On 18 April 2024, the Company signed a Subscription Agreement with substantial shareholder, Silvercorp Metals, Inc. to raise a further GBP117,317 (before costs), on the same terms as the AIM Placement. The funds raised have been applied towards
-
Early development works at the MCB Copper-Gold Project;
-
Permitting costs at the Sagay Copper-Gold Project;
-
Exploration costs a the Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect; and
-
General working capital.
On 8 May 2024, Mr Mark van Kerkwijk joined the Board as Executive Director for Investor Relations, Public Relations and Marketing.

Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project, Philippines (Celsius-100%)
Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”), Celsius’ Philippine affiliate has been granted a mining permit for its flagship MaalinaoCaigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project (“MCB” or “the Project”) in the Cordillera Administrative Region, approximately 320km north of Manila.
The permit allows the MMCI to undertake exploration, development and commercial production of copper and associated minerals for 25 years, renewable for another 25 years.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [70 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
Contingent with the issued mining permit is the submission of additional proof of financial capability to undertake the implementation of the pertinent approved Work Programs, and Certification Precondition issued by the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).
MMCI has obtained the Certification Precondition dated 02 September 2024 issued by the NCIP. MMCI is likewise finalising funding options from highly prospective parties for the development and operations of the MCB Project.
During the period, engineering optimization and design works also commenced to reduce project operating costs. These include an updated underground mine design, slope stabilization options, and an updating the financial model using current metal prices and new cut-off computations which indicated additional upside to the previously released project economics.
A Provencial Government Technical Working Group was also established for the development of the main access road from mine site to port as contained in the Memorandum of Agreement between MMCI and the Kalinga Provincial Government (See CLA Announcement dated 19 October 2023) .
This partnership allows MMCI to have the most appropriate road alignment to allow for the cost-efficient and safe transport of oversized and overweight cargo and concentrate products during the construction, development and operation stages of the MCB Project.
Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect, Philippines (100%)
MMCI has also secured a two-year exploration permit for its Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect in the Cordillera Administrative Region, southwest of the MCB Project.
Initial activities focused on building relationships with the host community to present plans and programs and gain their support in the implementation of exploration, environmental and community development programs.
Historical geological data analysis, remote sensing and planning for reconnaissance mapping and sampling were carried out to define the extent and distribution of the observed mineralisation to generate future targets for possible geophysical surveys and eventual diamond drilling activities.
Sagay Copper-Gold Project, Philippines (100%)
Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. (“TMCI”), Celsius’ Philippine subsidiary has concluded the exploration works and drilling program in Sagay for a total of 45 diamond drill holes with a cumulative meterage of 25,782.1m.
The 2023 drilling campaign completed 12 shallow drill holes, with a total meterage of 824.70m, which focused on the shallow grade copper, or the Supergene (Secondary Sulfide) Enrichment Domain (900SG) zone to supplement the data gaps and increase resource estimation confidence of the shallow high-grade zone.
Results of the 2023 drilling program, desktop studies, and compilation of all exploration data became the basis of the updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) which now includes Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource. The supergene mineralisation was also defined in more detail to provide a more accurate assessment of the economic potential..
As announced, the combined Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource is now at 312 million tonnes @ 0.39% copper and 0.11g/t gold while the Global Resource remains largely unchanged with ~1.2 million tonnes of contained copper and ~1 million ounces of contained gold (See CLA Announcement dated 6 February 2024).

Table 1. Summary results for the Mineral Resource estimate in Sagay at a cut-off grade of 0.20%
==> picture [421 x 268] intentionally omitted <==
Note for table of results: Calculations have been rounded to the nearest Mt of ore (to the nearest 100,000t where <10Mt), two significant figures for Cu and Au grade and to the nearest kt of Cu metal and kozs of Au metal (to the nearest 100t where <10kt). Some apparent errors may occur due to rounding. TR – Transition or partially oxidised Rock, FR – Fresh Rock.
This allowed Celsius the opportunity to investigate a low-cost start up opportunity through a Feasibility Study confirming the technical and financial viability of the project. The Feasibility Study, along with social and environmental plans and programs, was submitted to the Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau for its Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (DMPF) application (See CLA Announcement dated 8 January 2024).
TMCI is also in the process of completing its draft Environmental Impact Assessment to support the DMPF application towards the achievement of a mining permit.
Opuwo Cobalt-Copper Project, Namibia (Celsius – 95%)
The Opuwo Cobalt Project is held under Celsius’ Namibian subsidiary Opuwo Cobalt Holdings (Pty) Ltd. The Opuwo Project lies 7The730km north-west of the Namibian capital city, Windhoek.
The Company has initiated the draft non-binding agreements for a potential transaction with a strategic partner/s for the disposal of the Company’s 95% interest in the Opuwo Project.
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE STATE OF AFFAIRS
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.

Project (“Sagay” or “the Project”). , is held under its Philippine subsidiary, Tambuli Mining Company, Inc (“TMCI”) located at the Island of Negros in the Philippines.
On 4 September 2024, the company announced that its Philippine subsidiary Makilala Mining Company, Inc. had been issued a Certification Precondition (“CP”) from the Philippine National Commission on Indigenous Peoples for its flagship Maalinao-CaigutanBiyog Project (“MCB Project”). The CP is one of the compliance requirements under the Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA”) with the Philippine Government as prescribed under Republic Act 7942, or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995[1] and one of the outstanding commitments under the MPSA. The CP allows management to finalise arrangements with interested Philippine and international investors for funding the MCB Project.
On 15 September 2024, the Company announced that it has entered into two financing agreements with Patras Capital Pte. Ltd, a Hong Kong based investment company with a strong track record of supporting companies in growth sectors, including mining, energy and technology. These agreements with respect to the financing of the Company were: a share placement agreement for the placement of 120 million shares intend to raise A$1.5 million and a committed equity facility of up to A$10 million through placement tranches of shares in the Company over the next 24 months (the “Facility”). The Company has full discretion to utilise the Facility as well as set the share issue price, determine the amount of funds raised through placement tranches and when the placement of shares will occur under the Facility, subject to the terms and conditions as announced. Further, on 19 September 2024, the Company announced a subscription from Silvercorp Metals Inc of $183,667, who took up their right to participate in future equity offers arising from these financing arrangements.
The Directors are not aware of any other 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.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
==> picture [70 x 29] intentionally omitted <==
The information provided under headings A - 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.
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:
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [71 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 2024 by the Directors of the Company.
1. Material accounting policy information
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 for the year of $8,438,903 and had net cash out-flows from operating activities of $2,300,620 and from investing activities of $3,545,150 for the year ended 30 June 2024.
These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:
-
$1.5m capital raise – using the equity participation agreement announced on 16 September 2024. 50% of the placement proceeds will be paid on completion and the remaining 50% deferred until the Trading Day immediately after the relevant Pricing Period. The deferred 50% will be adjusted based on the share price performance during the pricing period. The budget assumes 2 lots of drawdown from this facility of $750k over a period of 150 days.
-
Note that at the same time, CLA announced a proposed $10m equity capital facility. The budget assumes no draw-down against this facility at present as the Company seeks to use this facility when the funding for MCB has been completed. This is not a pre-condition of the facility. Any funds receivable by CLA under the facility are not shown but the directors believe this facility will provide working capital as required over a 24 month period under the conditions set out in the facility’s terms and conditions.
-
Celsius continues to fund the annual corporate and development expenditure for the MCB Project over the period. This is not the ambition of the directors of the Company as it seeks to conclude funding proposals with investment partners with respect to the MCB Project.
-
The company has budgeted for the completion of the Opuwo Sale. The company is seeking proceeds of around US$5m however some commission will be payable. The budget has prudently assumed a total of US$4.5m net sale proceeds to CLA reflecting the unknown actual sale proceeds and the remaining holding CLA may retain in Opuwo. The process of disposal is well underway and expected to complete Oct 2024 with proceeds receivable in Nov 2024.
-
Exploration spends over the period totals $5.4m. Note much of this spend is discretionary and the board can reduce spending in order to maintain its cash resources.
-
Corporate costs are budgeted to total $2.3m. Again, some of this expenditure can be curtailed according to circumstances.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [71 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
Material accounting policy (continued)
Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity 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 consolidated entity 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
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 25.
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.
34
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2024

Material accounting policy (continued)
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.
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
35
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [71 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
Material accounting policy (continued)
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.
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.

Material accounting policy (continued)
n)
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/ 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.

Material accounting policy (continued)
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) Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the consolidated entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co-ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. The results of discontinued operations are presented separately on the face of the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
u) 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.
v) Critical accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements. Management continually evaluates its judgements and estimates in relation to assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities, revenue and expenses. Management bases its judgements, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on other various factors, including expectations of future events, management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting judgements and estimates will seldom equal the related actual results. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities (refer to the respective notes) within the next financial year are discussed below.
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 assets
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. 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
38
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 JUNE 2024
==> picture [71 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
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 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.
w) New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted
x) New Accounting Standards and Interpretations not yet mandatory or early adopted
Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have recently been issued or amended but are not yet mandatory, have not been early adopted by the consolidated entity for the annual reporting period ended 30 June 2024. The consolidated entity has not yet assessed the impact of these new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations.

9. Discontinued operations
In the reporting period 30 June 2024, the Group discontinued operations for the entire Opuwo Group segment. The Directors committed to a plan to sell this segment in late October 2024, following a strategic decision to place greater focus on the Group’s key competencies – i.e. the Makilala Mine Development.
The Opuwo Group segment was not previously classified as held-for-sale or as a discontinued operation. The comparative consolidated statement of profit or loss and OCI has been re-presented to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations.

9. Discontinued operations (continued)
The discontinued operations continue into the new financial year until such a time the sale of the segment has been finalised. Although intra-group transactions have been fully eliminated in the consolidated financial results, the directors have elected to attribute the elimination of transactions between the continuing operations and the discontinued operation before the disposal in a way that reflects the continuance of these transactions subsequent to the disposal, because the directors believe this is useful to the user of the financial statements.
To achieve this presentation, the directors have eliminated from the results of the discontinued operations the inter-segment transactions made before any disposal occurs. Because expenditure from the discontinued operation will continue after the disposal, inter-segment purchases made by the continuing operations before the disposal are retained in continuing operations.

26. 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.

==> picture [71 x 28] intentionally omitted <==
26. Financial risk management (continued)
(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 |
2024 2023 $ $ 43,687 76,939 |
|---|---|
| 1,599,725 5,029,176 |
(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 2024 and 30 June 2023 all financial liabilities are contractually maturing within 60 days.
(d) Foreign currency risk
The consolidated entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currency and is exposed to foreign currency risk through foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
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. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting.
The carrying amount of the consolidated entity's foreign currency denominated financial assets and financial liabilities at the reporting date were as follows:
| Assets | Liabilities | Liabilities | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | ||
| Consolidated | $ | $ | $ | $ | |
| British Pound | 1,062,114 | 917,435 | - | - | |
| Philippine Peso | 311,506 | 328,169 | 744,062 | 180,802 |
The consolidated entity has considered the sensitivity relating to its exposure to foreign currency risk at reporting date. A 10% strengthening of the AUD against the following currencies at the end of the reporting date would have increased post-tax profit

or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remained constant and ignores any impact of forecasted sales and purchases.
| Consolidated British Pound Philippine Peso |
Profit 2024 $ 106,211 (43,256) |
or (loss) 2023 $ 91,744 14,737 |
|---|---|---|
| 62,955 | 106,480 |
A 10% weakening of AUD against the above currencies at the end of the reporting date would have had equal but opposite effect on the above currencies to the amounts shown above, on the basis that all other variables remain constant.
(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.
27. Contingent assets and liabilities
The consolidated entity had no contingent assets or liabilities as at 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023.

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 2024, the consolidated statement of 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 financial statements, including material accounting policy information, the consolidated entity disclosure statement 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 2024 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 ( including Independence Standards ) (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.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $8,438,903 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $2,300,620 and $3,545,150 respectively for the year ended 30 June 2024. 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.

| Exploration and Evaluation Assets Refer to 11 and 12 in the financial statements |

| The Group has capitalised exploration and evaluation assets, with a carrying value of $19,577,942 as at 30 June 2024. In addition, the Group also has exploration and evaluation assets classified as held for sale with a carrying value of $7,500,000. 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 assets 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 in discontinued operations for the year ended 30 June 2024; 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; Assessing that exploration and evaluation assets classified as held for sale is in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards; and Assessing the 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 2024 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:
-
a. the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 ; and
-
b. the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , and
for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of:
-
i. the financial report (other than the consolidated entity disclosure statement) that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
-
ii. the consolidated entity disclosure statement that is true and correct and is free of 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/admin/file/content102/c3/ar1_2020.pdf This description forms part of our auditor's report.
