Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia (Celsius – 95%)

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. 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.

The Opuwo Project consists of four Exclusive Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,470 km[2] . (Figure 1)

Figure 1: Opuwo Licence and Prospect Map

During the Half, the Company completed a Scoping Study on the Opuwo Cobalt Project, with the following key highlighted outcomes:

  • Confirmed potential for a large scale and long-life operation.

  • Preliminary mine planning completed, examining various open pit and underground mining scenarios.

  • Sulphide concentrate produced from standard flotation methods.

  • Project to produce refined products including cobalt sulphate (or hydroxide/metal), copper metal and zinc sulphate by either autoclave or roasting methods, with the roasting method used as the base case for the purpose of completing the Scoping Study.

  • No deleterious elements identified that would affect the saleability or price of products.

  • Infrastructure components to leverage off existing regional infrastructure, including hydroelectric power and network of sealed roads.

  • Commenced high-level discussions with prospective offtake partners.

  • Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) commenced with investigation of identified value engineering and process optimisation opportunities and the estimation of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (refer update below).

Regional exploration commenced at the Opuwo Project, with targets being drill tested that have been developed with the aid of existing geochemical data sets, historical mapping, grab sampling data, the

recent SkyTEM survey (electromagnetic and magnetic) and a recently completed high-resolution soil sampling program over the Opuwo Corridor targets.

Subsequent to the end of the Half, the Company announced it was slowing evaluation work on the Opuwo Cobalt Project due primarily to the low current and short term forecast cobalt price. Studies with long lead times, such as environmental studies as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment required for the PFS will be continued, as will required relatively low cost metallurgical process and mine planning optimisation work. When the cobalt price improves the board will reassess the opportunity to once again accelerate the evaluation of the Opuwo Project.

Western Australian Nickel Assets

Celsius holds an interest in two nickel assets in Western Australia. Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) has a 100% interest in the Abednegno Hill Nickel Project to the south and west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd .

A high powered ground electromagnetic (EM) survey was completed during October – November 2017 which detected two bedrock anomalies. A broad bedrock conductor was delineated in the centre of E39/1684, parallel to a known ultramafic unit . A smaller, local anomaly was identified in the west of the tenement in the same area as previously drilled ultramafics. Follow up work to test these anomalies has been designed but no further work was undertaken during the period.

Additionally the Company 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. Mincor has not advised the Company of any material results from exploration at the Carnilya Hill Project during the year. While the Carnilya Hill Project has several areas which could be of interest at higher nickel prices, the prices making these prospects viable are far above the prevailing price therefore Celsius has elected not to contribute to cash calls for the current period and dilute accordingly.

Events Subsequent to Reporting Date

11,314,398 shares were issued on 4 January 2019 for the conversion of options with an exercise price of $0.01 and expiring 30 December 2018. The $113,144 was received from shareholders prior to 30 December 2018 and held in trust as disclosed in Note 4.

On 27 February 2019, Laurent Raskin resigned from his position as Non-Executive Director.

On 1 March 2019, Managing Director Brendan Borg stepped down to a Non-Executive Director role, with Pine van Wyk remaining as Project Director.

No other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half-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 subsequent financial years.

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The lead auditor’s independence declaration under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included within this half-year financial report.

2 6,000,000 of the options expiring on 18 August 2020, 1,000,000 of the options expiring on 6 February 2020 and 6,000,000 of the options expiring on 16 April 2021 will vest only upon the completion by the company of a positive pre-feasibility study of the company’s Opuwo Cobalt Project, leading to the commencement of a definitive feasibility study or decision to mine. Management have assessed the likelihood of this milestone being met by the expiry date as nil, thus resulting in a reversal of share based payment expense in relation to these options under the requirements of AASB 2 Share based payments .

The expense recognised during the period of $(62,620) includes $107,877 in relation to options and performance rights previously issued and a reversal of $170,497 for the revised assessment of the likelihood of the milestones above.

3 Of the 6,000,000 options issued, 80% were granted subject to the execution of a binding transaction or event. The share based payment expense is only to be recognised at the point the goods or service is delivered (if any), being the date of the binding transaction or event.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Celsius Resources Limited, which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, and the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Celsius Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Celsius Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001 .
