SHALLOW HIGH GRADE COBALT POTENTIAL AT OPUWO

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Highlights from latest resource expansion drilling in the Western Zone are:

  • 6 m @ 0.21% Co, 0.76% Cu and 1.15% Zn, including

1 m @ 0.50% Co, 0.92% Cu and 1.90% Zn

  • 4 m @ 0.26% Co, 0.40% Cu and 1.08% Zn

  • 6 m @ 0.16% Co, 0.62% Cu and 0.90% Zn, including

4 m @ 0.21% Co, 0.79% Cu and 1.08% Zn

  • 5.00 m @ 0.15% Co, 0.48% Cu and 0.70% Zn

  • 5.22 m @ 0.14% Co, 0.45% Cu and 0.64% Zn

  • All results outside existing JORC Mineral Resource.

  • Data to be included in Mineral Resource update in Q4, 2018.

  • Scoping Study remains on schedule for reporting before the end of October, 2018.

Celsius Resources Limited (“Celsius” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on ongoing exploration activities at its 95% owned Opuwo Cobalt Project (“Project”) in Namibia.

A zone of higher grade cobalt mineralisation is apparent in the latest drilling results, and is located outside the existing JORC compliant Mineral Resource (Figure 1). These results include the highest grade single metre intersected at Opuwo to date ( 1 m @ 0.50% cobalt, 0.92% copper and 1.90% zinc , part of an intercept of 6 m @ 0.21% cobalt, 0.76% copper and 1.15% zinc, from a depth of 41 metres down hole).

Resource expansion drilling in the west and central zones has now been completed, with an updated Mineral Resource planned to be reported in Q4, 2018, once final assays from this drilling have been received. Resource modelling and estimation will be undertaken by the Company’s external consultants, DMT Kai Batla.

Celsius Managing Director, Brendan Borg commented:

“It is exciting to see these higher grade results in the most recent assays from the resource expansion drilling program. The potential for a shallow, higher grade cobalt zone will be further assessed as we progress ongoing Project studies. With resource expansion drilling now completed, drilling activities will move to infill drilling priority areas of the existing Mineral Resource and further metallurgical test work holes.”

Scoping Study

Work programs for input in to the Project Scoping Study are largely complete, with remaining work relating to the operating and capital cost estimates on the downstream processing component of the Project nearing completion. The completed Scoping Study remains on schedule for reporting before the end of October, 2018.

About the Opuwo Cobalt Project

Celsius is aiming to define a long life, reliable source of cobalt at Opuwo. The Company considers the Project to have the following advantages:

  • Large scale.

  • Favourable mineralogy: cobalt and copper sulphide minerals.

  • Low in deleterious elements: notably arsenic, cadmium and uranium.

  • Mining friendly, politically stable and safe location with excellent infrastructure.

  • Cobalt: best exposure to lithium ion battery boom.

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 2). 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 a 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 four Exclusive Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,470 km[2] .

A maiden JORC Compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource was announced on 16 April, 2018, comprising 112.4 million tonnes, grading 0.11% cobalt, 0.41% copper and 0.43% zinc, at a cut-off grade of 0.06% cobalt. (Please refer to ASX announcement of 16 April, 2018 for more details on the Mineral Resource.)

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.
• Drilling was designed to intersect the DOF horizon based on mapped or
interpreted location.
• Diamond Core (DC) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling using standard
equipment.
• Sampling was undertaken based on lithology/mineralisation changes for
DC.
o
Drill Core was sampled according to lithologies over a length
between 9cm and 118cm for the NQ or HQ drill core, as half core
samples.
• Sampling of RC drilling was conducted on 1 metre intervals.
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 Drilling (RC).
• Oriented Diamond Core (DC).
• DC drilling was done using a standard tube, at NQ size.
• DC from the DOF prospect was oriented using a Reflex EZ-TRAC tool.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
• All drilling was supervised by a suitably qualified geologist, trained to
monitor sample representivity, including evenness of samples being
collected from the RC rig, and routine cleaning/flushing of the cyclone on
the drill rig.
• No relationship exists between sample recovery and grade.
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 for RC and on
lithology/mineralisation for DC.
• Lithology, alteration and oxidation logged qualitatively.
• Sulphide and quartz vein content logged quantitatively.
• All DC holes are photographed.
• A Niton portable XRF analyzer was used to assist in determining
mineralised horizons.
• All core was logged to denote rock type, color, alteration, mineralisation
style, core recoveries, and any measurable structure.
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.
• Diamond Core was cut using a core saw. Generally, half core was
submitted to the laboratory, except where a duplicate sample was taken, in
which case quarter core was submitted for each;
• Field duplicates were collected and analysed to confirm representivity of
sampling from DC drilling;
• Sample size is deemed appropriate for the grain size of the material being
sampled, given it is half core.

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) and
precision have been established.
• Samples were prepared at Activation Laboratories Limited (ACTLABS)
Windhoek laboratory, and assayed at ACTLABS in Ancaster, Canada. A 4
acid digestion sample preparation method and ICP finish were utilised.
Gold assays were by fire assay with ICP finish.
• No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentration in
these results.
• A Niton hand held XRF analyser was used to assist in selection of samples
to be sent to the laboratory for formal analysis (No portable XRF data was
reported or used in resource estimation).
• 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.
• Field duplicates, blanks and standards were submitted in approximately a
1:20 ratio.
• A second (umpire) laboratory will be utilised to provide additional
verification of key mineralised zones prior to updated resource modeling
and estimation.
• One of the field inserted standards occasionally reported marginally outside
acceptable tolerances for cobalt analysis, however, after enquiries with the
laboratory regarding the sample digestion methods, and considering
analysis by an additional laboratory, the data was deemed to be
acceptable.
• The field and laboratory duplicates revealed good repeatability.
• The field inserted blanks generally confirmed appropriate sample hygiene
techniques were employed by the laboratory.
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, data storage
(physical and electronic)
protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay
data.
• Mineralised zones reported in assays correspond well with the zones as
logged in the field, and the tenor of grades is consistent with previous
drilling and surface sampling.
• Several RC/DC twin holes have been completed, and do not show any
systematic bias towards one drilling method or another. Further twin holes
will be completed as part of future drilling programs.
• An electronic database containing collars, geological logging and assays is
maintained by consultants external to the Company. Data is collected in
Excel spreadsheets in the field, and then loaded and validated by the
Company’s external database managers. Validation of assay data against
field logging and mineralised zones determined in the field using a portable
XRF is undertaken, prior to reporting.
• No adjustment to assay data has been made.

Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drill holes (collar
and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system
used.
Quality and adequacy of
topographic control.
• All sampling located initially by hand held GPS;
• UTM grid WGS84 Zone 33 (South);
• Holes have been, or will be, surveyed using Differential GPS (DGPS) prior
to resource modeling;
• Downhole surveys to measure hole deviation were routinely completed at
the DOF Prospect. Downhole surveys were not conducted on the DOF
North reconnaissance holes.
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 in the initial phase of drilling was approximately every 500 –
1,000 meters along the strike of the DOF horizon (based on
mapping/interpretation).
• Current closer spaced drilling was completed on a nominal 200 metres x
100 metres grid.
• Based on previous resource modelling and estimation, the current drill
spacing is expected to be sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity required to update the existing Mineral Resource.
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 approximately perpendicular to DOF
horizon. A majority of resource definition drillholes were angled at 55
degrees, which, based on visual observations in the drill core, usually
intersects the mineralisation approximately perpendicular.
• Holes drilled at 90 degrees overstate the true thickness of the mineralised
zone, as do any holes drilled oblique to the mineralisation rather than
perpendicular.
• Drilling, and geological modeling, has more accurately defined the
orientation of the geological features and mineralisation and has not
introduced a sampling bias.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure
sample security.
• Drill samples were delivered to the laboratory by senior Celsius Resources
or Gecko Namibia staff.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or
reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
• A review of drilling methods and sampling procedures has been undertaken
by the Company’s external Resource Geologists.
• No significant issues were identified.

status
Type, reference name/number,
location and ownership including
agreements or material issues
with third parties such as joint
ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests,
historical sites, wilderness or
national park and environmental
settings.
The security of the tenure held at
the time of reporting along with
any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in
the area.
• The Opuwo Cobalt Project comprises four current Exclusive Prospective
Licences; EPLs 4346, 4350, 4351 and 4540.
• Celsius has a 95% ownership of the Project.
• There are currently no known impediments to developing a project in this
area.

• Previous work carried out by Kunene Resources included 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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
• The Kaoko Orogen (Kaokobelt) consists of metasedimentary rocks of the
Damaran Supergroup deposited on the passive margin of a Late Proterozoic
continental rift system. The Damaran sediments overlie the Congo Craton
with its Archean to Early Proterozoic basement rocks of the Epupa and Huab
Complexes.
• The key tectonic and sedimentary events in the Kaokobelt are:
o
Rifting at the southern Congo Craton between 900-840 Ma including
local rift-related continental intrusives and extrusives (e.g. Oas
syenite and Lofdal carbonatites 840-756 Ma)
o
Deposition of a 1 to 4 km thick siliciclastic transgression sequence:
Nosib Group including Ombombo Formation in the upper part with
increasing carbonate sedimentation (and the DOF horizon), 880-
712 Ma
o
Chuos glaciation with deposition of tillites and cold water shales and
marlstones 712-692 Ma
o
Deposition of carbonate dominated sediments on the shallow
Kunene Platform: Otavi Group
o
Ghaub glaciation at 638-635 Ma (Hoffmann et al., 2004)
o
Deposition of carbonate dominated sediments on the shallow
Kunene Platform: Tsumeb Subgroup 635-550 Ma
o
Collision of Kalahari and Congo Craton 550 Ma (Alkmim et al. 2001)
o
Peak metamorphism 530 Ma.
• Mineralisation at Opuwo is hosted in the Neoproterozoic sediments of the
Kaoko Belt, which is interpreted as a western extension of the Copper Belt in
the DRC and Zambia.
• The Dolomite Ore Formation (DOF) is a carbon rich, marly dolomitic horizon
in a sequence of clastic and carbonate lithologies in the upper Ombombo
Subgroup. The carbon rich nature of the ore bearing horizon is interpreted
to have facilitated the precipitation of the metals of interest, namely cobalt,
copper and zinc.
• Cobalt, copper and zinc sulphide mineralisation is present predominantly as
linnaeite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite respectively. Minor zones of oxidised
and partially oxidised mineralisation occur in the upper portion of the deposit.

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. Drillholes have been/will be
accurately surveyed using DGPS for resource modeling.
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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are
particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported,
there should be a clear statement
to this effect (eg ‘down hole
_length, true width not known’). _
• Orientation of drilling vs. dip of DOF horizon means that the downhole
lengths reported for angled holes (-55 degrees) approximates true width.
Holes drilled straight (-90 degrees) are expected to intersect a greater
mineralised length than the true thickness.
• Oriented drillholes were used in modeling the mineralised zone in 3D space,
thereby modeling the true thickness (width) of the zone.
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. _
• See relevant diagrams in the body of this announcement.
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 drillholes 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.
• Aeromagnetic data is used as a guide to determining the presence and
location of the mineralised horizon where it is not outcropping.
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. _
• Closer spaced drilling will be undertaken at the DOF Prospect, with the aim
of progressing the deposit to higher confidence categories of Mineral
Resources. Extensional drilling, both laterally and at depth, will be
undertaken, with the aim of increasing the size of the Mineral Resource.
• Exploration on other parts of the Project will comprise geophysical surveys
and surface sampling to define targets for further drilling.
