Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper Gold Project, Philippines (Celsius acquired 100%)

On 4 February 2021, the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Anleck Limited (Anleck), a private UK company that owns, through various subsidiaries, a suite of copper-gold projects in the Philippines, has successfully settled.

The renewal of the Exploration Permit (EP) necessitated the Makilala Mining Philippine team to commence mobilization in preparation for drilling to commence.

________________

On 26 February 2021, Celsius Philippine subsidiary Makilala Mining has commenced drilling operations in accordance with its approved Exploration Permit No. 003-2006-CAR for the Maalinano CaigutanBiyog (MCB) copper-gold project.

Prior to mobilization, tenders were submitted by suitably qualified contractors to carry-out drilling and supply of early critical technical work programs which would be incorporated as part of the drilling program to support the Scoping Study. On 15 December 2020 Makilala Mining entered into a contract with Mega Philippines for the supply of drilling at the MCB site. Purchase orders were also placed with PSM for technical design and development of a conceptual hydrological model, while the vibrating wire piezometer equipment was purchased through Durham Geo Slope Indicator (DGSI) in advance of drilling commencing. Community engagements where also carried out with the community and relevant stakeholders to seek support for the continuation of the drilling program which resulted to a strong support for Makilala Mining resuming drilling at the MCB site.

The MCB Project is one of the key portfolio projects of Makilala along with six other prospects in the pipeline for permit renewal/extension.

Lachlan Fold Belt Projects, Australia (Celsius – 100%)

During the prior financial year the Company acquired 100% of the Cullarin West and Yass Gold Projects (comprising ELA5928) located in the highly sought-after Lachlan Fold Belt region of NSW, Australia. The Company completed an initial site visit as part of its due diligence and recently completed a detailed review of available geological, geochemical and geophysical data sourced from historical exploration and open file regional surveys.

The Cullarin West prospect is located adjacent to and along strike of Sky Metals’ (ASX:SKY) Cullarin discovery (93 m at 4.24 g/t gold from 56 m, refer ASX.SKY Announcement 10 February 2020) (See Figure 4 for Location Map). An initial review, including a site visit, indicates the project is underlain by similar geological and structural features which host mineralisation at Cullarin. Only limited historical exploration has been undertaken in the tenement area due to widespread recent cover obscuring bedrock geology.

A historical diamond drillhole at Cullarin West (DDH W-1 drilled in 1978) showed elevated levels of silver and base metals in “drill sludges” (refer ASX Announcement 4 June 2020). Sludge samples were not analysed for gold due to the focus being on base metals. The drill core was not cut or sampled and is stored at the NSW core library in Londonderry. Celsius has accessed this core and sampled it with assay results undergoing compilation and assessment at the date of this report. Initial exploration at the project is planned to be a significant program of low detection limit geochemical sampling designed to define further drilling targets. With the recent grant of the tenement the Company is now in the process of identifying and contacting landowners within the areas of interest to enable access agreements to be completed.

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.

Page 3

CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [42 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

________________

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

  • Cobalt: best exposure to lithium ion battery demand.

Work on the Opuwo Cobalt Project has been limited during the period due to the low current and short term forecast cobalt price. The Company has continued with work programs aimed at keeping the Opuwo Project in good standing, in terms of in country expenditure and reporting, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs, and community and government consultation regarding the current status of the Project. Desktop exploration programs have been developed for gold and base metals targets in the broader Opuwo 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. 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)

==> picture [425 x 292] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Opuwo Licence and Prospect Map

The Company continues to carry out regular monitoring and stakeholder engagement at the Opuwo Project as per its commitments under the independent Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) completed for the Scoping Study, save for period where travel within Namibia has been restricted due to COVID-19. The Company is awaiting feedback from the Ministry of Environment and Tourism on the EIA Scoping Report submitted (along with any public submissions). Once the Scoping Report is approved specialist environmental and social studies would be able to commence, readying the Project to ramp up the PFS to meet forthcoming demand for cobalt and copper.

________________

Independent 3[rd] party review was done relating to metallurgical testwork and process design, specifically the roasting process, leaching process and flotation optimisation testwork. A number of areas where further testwork would be beneficial have been identified from this third party review of all work completed to date on the Opuwo Cobalt Project. During the next period the company will finalize the next phase of optimization test work after engaging and obtaining proposals from various metallurgical testing laboratories. This will include potential drilling of fresh metallurgical core samples to be used for test work.

Exploration activities at the Opuwo Cobalt Project were largely desktop focused involving review of data from the Company’s SkyTEM aerial survey and downhole EM surveys, geochemical data as well as statutory reporting. Work commenced on a Mineral Resource update which is expected to be completed shortly.

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 west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd. Only desktop work was completed during the year due to restrictions on travel in Western Australia.

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 Carnilya 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. During the period Mincor and the Company discussed future activities at the Joint Venture and options to progress it given the extensive work completed to date.

Events Subsequent to Reporting Date

On 5 January 2021 1,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.175 expired and 1,500,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.225 expired.

On 12 January 2021 6,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.075 expired.

On 25 January 2021 Mr. Ashley Hood tendered his resignation as Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect.

On 4 February 2021 the acquisition of 100% of the issued capital of Anleck Limited (Anleck), a private UK company that owns, through various subsidiaries, a suite of copper-gold projects in the Philippines, has successfully settled. Consideration of the acquisition consists of 100,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares to the shareholders of Anleck (50,000,000 of these will be subject to a buy-back and cancellation right in favour of Celsius) and 100,000,000 deferred consideration shares, in two equal tranches subject to the following:

  • 50,000,000 share upon securing and entering into a financial and technical assistance agreement or a mineral production sharing agreement with the Philippines Government in relation to the project, provided this occurs within 36 months of settlement; and

Page 5

CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT

==> picture [42 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

________________

Events Subsequent to Reporting Date (continued)

  • 50,000,000 shares upon Celsius announcing to ASX that it has completed an economically viable Definitive Feasibility Study (DFA) in relation to the project, provided this occurs within 36 months of settlement.

At settlement of the acquisition of Anleck Limited, Celsius has also agreed to reimburse the Anleck shareholders for up to USD $150,000 they have incurred in finalising the transaction.

As part of the settlement of the Anleck transaction, Mr. Martin Buckingham has been appointed as the Celsius Non-Executive Chairman, Ms. Attilenore Austria has been appointed as a Non-Executive Director and Mr. Peter Hume has been appointed as Company’s Country Operations Director – Philippines. Mr Bill Oliver and Mr Brendan Borg will remain as Non-Executive Directors of the Company. Mr Pine van Wyk has resigned as Non-Executive Director, but will remain as the Country Operations Director – Namibia.

On 12 February 2021 entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Mincor Resources NL to sell its 30% Joint Venture interest.

Whilst exploration activities have been able to continue, the impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is ongoing. It is not practical to estimate the potential impact, positive or negative, after the reporting date. The situation is continually developing and is dependent on measures imposed by Australian and Namibian Governments, and other countries, such as maintaining social distancing requirements, quarantine, travel restrictions and economic stimulus that may be provided.

Other than the above, no 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.

CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

==> picture [46 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’.

The half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. It is recommended that this half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by Celsius Resources Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 .

The half-year financial report has also been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costs, modified, where applicable by the measurement at fair value for certain classes of assets and liabilities. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets. All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

New and Revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As disclosed in the financial statements, the consolidated entity incurred a loss of $639,491 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $950,510 and $1,754,785 respectively for the half-year ended 31 December 2020.

The Directors believe that it is reasonably foreseeable that the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report due to:

  • The consolidated entity has the ability to scale down its operations in order to curtail expenditure, in the event capital raisings are delayed or insufficient cash is available to meet projected expenditure; and

  • The Directors are confident the consolidated entity will be successful in sourcing further capital from the issue of additional equity securities under the Corporations Act 2001 to fund the ongoing operations and projects.

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

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Celsius Resources Limited, which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated 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 2020 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.
