West Australian Nickel Assets

Celsius owns two nickel assets in Western Australia. Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) owns a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL ( Joint Venture ). Mincor Resources NL ( Mincor , ASX:MCR) is the operator of the Carnilya Hill JV. The tenements covered by the Camilya Hill Joint Venture (JV) include Mining Licences M26/47, M26/48, M26/49 and M26/453. Additionally the Company has a 100% interest in the Abengo Hill Nickel Project to the south and west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine. The tenements are located near to Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd and are believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Mincor has not advised the Company of any material results from exploration at the Carnilya Hill Project during the Quarter. While mining operations at Carnilya Hill ceased in the first quarter of 2012 access to the decline and other mine infrastructure was maintained so that the opportunity to recommence mining remains intact.

Celsius initiated a reassessment of the Abengo Hill Nickel Project in 2014. While prospective for both gold and nickel mineralisation the targets identified are early stage and conceptual in nature and therefore the Board has determined that intensive exploration is not warranted at this stage. Activities on the Project will focus on refining and advancing the targets identified through low cost exploration.
