CELSIUS STRENGTHENS EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT TEAM

Celsius Resources Limited (ASX: CLA) (“Celsius” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that current NonExecutive Director, Mr. Pine van Wyk , has been appointed to the role of Project Director for the Opuwo Cobalt Project on a part-time basis. His core focus will be to provide strategic direction to the Celsius Project team and various consultants, ensuring rapid development of the Project to maximise value of shareholders.

Pine van Wyk (NHD Met. Eng., B.Com, MBA) is a Metallurgical Engineer by profession, with extensive experience in the mining industry, particularly in developing and operating mines in Namibia. He holds commercial qualifications (B.Com and MBA), with a focus on project management. He spent eight years at Rössing Uranium, where his roles included Superintendent Acid Plant and Metallurgical Services, Superintendent Strategic Projects and Engineering Manager.

Pine has a wealth of experience in developing Projects from the ground up in Namibia, including roles with well-known Australian companies such as Rio Tinto and Paladin Energy, in addition to the projects he has been responsible for bringing into production as Managing Director of the Company’s largest shareholder, Gecko Namibia. I look forward to working closely with Pine as we rapidly advance our studies at Opuwo.”
