NEW MINERALISED ZONE AT OPUWO COBALT PROJECT

HIGHLIGHTS

  • New mineralised zone discovered 350 metres north of Main DOF horizon, highlighting potential for significant additional tonnage and improved strip ratios.

  • Latest results continue to confirm potential for higher grade zones within the extensive mineralised system, and include:

  • 13 m @ 0.14% cobalt and 0.51% copper, including

10 m @ 0.17% cobalt and 0.66% copper, including

3 m @ 0.23% cobalt and 0.46% copper

  • 7 m @ 0.11% cobalt and 0.47% copper, including

2 m @ 0.17% cobalt and 0.53% copper

  • 6 m @ 0.10% cobalt and 0.39% copper

  • 4 m @ 0.14% cobalt and 0.53% copper

  • 2 m @ 0.21% cobalt and 0.50% copper

  • Assays pending from a further 9 completed holes.

  • First metallurgical testing sample to be dispatched next week, with results expected in late September.

Celsius Resources Limited (“Celsius” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce further positive developments at the Opuwo Cobalt Project (“Project”) in Namibia. A total of 50 holes have now been completed by Celsius at the project, demonstrating mineralisation over more than 15 km of strike length.

A key development in the past week has been the discovery of additional Dolomite Ore Formation (DOF) in a drill hole located approximately 350 metres north of the known and mapped mineralisation that has been systematically tested by the ongoing drill program (Figure 1). Further drilling will be required to determine if this is a parallel occurrence or a result of folding of the known DOF unit.

Celsius Managing Director, Brendan Borg commented:

“The identification of additional mineralisation approximately 350 metres north of the mapped and drill tested DOF horizon is an exciting development for the Company. We look forward to receiving the assays from these holes in the coming weeks, and following up with further drilling in this area to enhance our understanding of what this means for the Project.”

Figure 2: Drilling Assay Results extending mineralised strike to 15 km

These results are consistent with previous batches of results received (refer ASX releases from 20 April, 27 April, 8 May and 8 June, 2017), and importantly continue to show potential for higher grade zones within the extensive mineralised system. Mineralisation extends to surface or near surface along the entire strike length investigated to date, and has now been demonstrated to extend to a vertical depth of at least 150 metres.

  • 4 m @ 0.13% cobalt and 0.57% copper , from 44 m (DOFR05)

The initial exploration target, consisting of between 33 and 41 million tonnes, grading approximately 0.13% - 0.17% cobalt and 0.45% - 0.65% copper , covers a zone of approximately 11 km in the central portion of the project area. This target has significant potential to be expanded given the drilling results from outside this zone, and the new mineralised zone announced today. It is noted that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, and that there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. (Please refer to ASX release of 18 May 2017 for details, including information required under the JORC Code (2012) on the Exploration Target).

Current Drill Program

This initial phase of RC drilling is designed to test a 20 km (of a total 30 km) strike length of the cobalt-copper mineralised DOF horizon, and is expected to be completed within the next two weeks. An additional two holes are being considered to provide further information on the newly discovered mineralised zone referred to in this announcement.

Diamond drilling is continuing, providing samples for first pass metallurgical testing. Three holes have been completed, with another 5 holes remaining in the planned program. Completion of the diamond drilling program is expected in August, with samples for metallurgical testing dispatched as they are completed.

Background on the Opuwo Cobalt Project

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 (Figure 3). 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.

Celsius is gaining exposure to the Project via the following stages of expenditure on exploration:

  • An initial 30% interest will be earned by expenditure of $500,000 within 6 months of exercising the option to proceed,

  • a further 30% to be earned following expenditure of a further $1,000,000 within 12 months of completing the stage 1 earn in, and

  • a final 16% to be earned following expenditure of a further $1,000,000 within 6 months of completing the stage 2 earn in.

Following the earning of the 76% interest all parties will be required to contribute to exploration.

Background on Cobalt

Cobalt has a diverse range of metallurgical and chemical uses ranging from aircraft engines to rechargeable batteries. Strong demand for rechargeable batteries has been the biggest growth driver for cobalt consumption and demand is forecast to continue to increase as batteries are increasingly adopted in households and vehicles. Cobalt cathode chemistry continues to be the product of choice for applications requiring thin, flexible and high energy density batteries with the best possible cycle life. Furthermore, automotive related demand for cobalt containing battery materials is expected to rapidly increase in coming years with increasing sales of plug in hybrid and fully electric vehicles.

In its 2016 market outlook respected industry group CRU stated: “The refined cobalt market will fall into a 3,000 tonne deficit this year following seven years of overcapacity and oversupply. CRU anticipates prices to increase onward into 2017 as global demand for refined cobalt exceeds the 100,000 tonne mark and mine and refined supply tightens.”

Cobalt resources and production are concentrated in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has close to half of the world’s cobalt reserves and accounts for more than half of the world’s production. The balance of the world’s cobalt is concentrated in Australia, Cuba, Zambia, New Caledonia, Canada, Russia and Brazil. Notably, the United States has no domestic resources of cobalt ore. As a result of the industrial importance of cobalt and the concentration of supply, cobalt is classed as a strategic mineral by the USGS and as a critical raw material by the EU.

Appendix 2. The following tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012) requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results for the Opuwo Cobalt Project

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple
(eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was
used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce
a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling using standard equipment.

Sampling was undertaken at one metre intervals.

Drilling designed to intersect the DOF horizon based on mapped or
interpreted location.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by
_what method, etc). _

Reverse circulation percussion.
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.

Recovery generally recorded as good, with poor recovery in a small
number of samples due to groundwater.

ASX RELEASE | PAGE 9

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.

Drilling logged in detail on a metre by metre basis.

Lithology, alteration and oxidation logged qualitatively.

Sulphide and quartz vein content logged quantitatively.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature,
quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted
for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.

RC drill samples split using a rig mounted cone splitter.

Field duplicates collected to confirm representivity of sampling.
Quality of
assay data
and laboratory
tests

The nature, quality and
appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered
partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
andprecision have been established.

Samples were assayed prepared at Activation Laboratories Limited
(ACTLABS) Windhoek laboratory, and assayed at ACTLABS in Ancaster,
Canada. A total acid digestion sample preparation method and ICP finish
were utilised.

No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentration in
these results.

The drilling program included field duplicates, standards and blanks that
were inserted into the drill sequence, in addition to the standard QA/QC
samples and procedures used by the laboratory. No abnormalities were
detected.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification,

Mineralised zones reported in assays correspond approximately with the
zones as logged in the field, and the tenor of grades is consistent with
previous drilling and surface sampling.

No twin holes have yet been drilled, however, several of the RC holes will
be twinned bydiamond holes in the comingmonths.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

All sampling located by hand held GPS.

UTM grid WGS84 Zone 33 (South).

Holes will be surveyed using Differential GPS (DGPS) prior to potential
resource modelling.

Down hole surveys to measure hole deviation are being completed where
possible.
Data spacing
and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has
been applied.

Drill spacing approximately every 500 – 1,000 metres along the strike of
the DOF horizon (based on mapping / interpretation).

Optimum drill spacing to delineate a Mineral Resource not yet known. To
be determined from assay data / assessment of grade variability.
Orientation of
data in
relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered
to have introduced a sampling bias,
this should be assessed and reported
if material.

Drilling of angled holes aimed to test perpendicular to DOF horizon. Some
holes were designed to be oblique to mineralisation.

Further drilling will better determine the orientation of the geological
features and mineralisation and enable any biases to be determined.
Sample
security

The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Drill samples delivered to laboratory by senior Celsius or Gecko Namibia
staff.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.

No review has been carried out.

parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Previous work carried out by Kunene Resources includes geological
mapping, outcrop sampling, soil sampling, high resolution magnetic and
radiometric data and hyperspectral data. Two holes were drilled in 2015,
which intersected cobalt, copper and zinc mineralisation.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

Copper-cobalt mineralisation is developed in a sedimentary package of
likely Nosib succession. Arkose quartzitic sandstones and conglomerates of
the footwall Nosib Formation are exposed to the west and southwest

The upper Nosib or Ombombo Formation consists of a sequence of finely
intercalated siltstones and shales with minor sandstone, marlstone,
limestone and dolostone layers.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the
exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill
hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and
interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

All information detailed in Appendix 1.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually Material and should be
stated.

Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.

The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

Simple length weighted averages were used for reporting of significant
intercepts. Significant intercepts were reported using a cutoff grade of
0.05% (or 500 ppm) cobalt.
Relationship

These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

possible with further drilling, and in particular, diamond drilling, which has
recently commenced.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a
plan view of drill hole collar locations
and appropriate sectional views.

Refer Figure 1. Sectional views will be compiled once an accurate
assessment can be made of the geometry of the mineralisation.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.

All holes have been reported.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.

Geophysical and geological datasets detailed in previous releases.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

Planned further work detailed in this, and previous releases, and in figures.
This work comprises drill testing along a significant portion of the
mapped/interpreted mineralised unit, to determine the most prospective
areas for follow up work and potential resource definition.
