Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper Gold Project, Philippines (Celsius - 40%)
Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”), a Philippine affiliate of Celsius in the Philippines, has progressed its permitting requirements for its flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog (“MCB”) Copper-Gold Project in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
All required technical, social, and environmental plans and programs have been approved leading to the approval of the Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (DMPF). The DMPF was a critical step in securing a Mineral Agreement with the Philippine Government, which is anticipated Q 1, 2024.
Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect, Philippines (Celsius - 40%)
Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”), a Philippine subsidiary of Celsius Resources, in August of 2023 MMCI was issued an exploration permit for its Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect, adjacent to the MCB Project in the Cordillera Administrative Region.
The initial two-year exploration permit aims to define the extent and distribution of the observed mineralisation along Botilao Creek which will consist of regional to semi-detailed geochemical sampling and mapping to generate future targets for possible geophysical surveys and eventual diamond drilling activities.
The approved Exploration Work Program will be implemented alongside an Environmental Work Program and a Community Development Program (CDP).
Following the issuance of the exploration permit, table top work is being carried out to gather and consolidate available data and reports as basis for planning field activities commencing in 2024.

Celsius Resources Limited Directors' report 31 December 2023

Sagay Copper-Gold Project, Philippines (Celsius - 100%)
Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. (“TMCI”), a wholly owned Philippine subsidiary of Celsius in the Philippines, exploration works have produced positive results for the Sagay Copper-Gold Project (“Sagay Project”) which is located in Negros Island.
Exploration activities focused on the shallow high-grade copper, or the Supergene (Secondary Sulfide) Enrichment Domain (900SG).
Twelve (12) shallow drill holes were completed with a total meterage of 824.70 meters Results from the shallow drilling program confirmed a significant copper mineralisation from eight out of 12 drill holes completed.
The conclusion of the drilling program along with results of the desktop studies and compilation of all exploration data were contained in a Final Exploration Report which was submitted to the Philippine National Government. This became the basis for the formulation of the Mining Project Feasibility Study which was submitted in December 2023 to the Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau, along with other required technical, social, and environmental plans and programs, for the application of Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility, the approval of which will trigger the application for a mineral agreement with the Philippine Government.
Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia (Celsius – 95%)
Celsius Resources’ Namibian subsidiary held under Opuwo Cobalt Holdings (Pty) Ltd. received a renewal of the exclusive prospecting license for the Opuwo Cobalt Project (“Opuwo”), which is located 730km north-west of the Namibian capital city, Windhoek.
The renewal of the exclusive prospecting license (EPL 4346), which covers approximately 683 km2, was issued by the Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy on 11 October 2023 for a period of two years. The renewed license will enable Celsius to further evaluate the project’s viability and strategically unlock its potential value with a view to finding a suitable partner.
Ongoing trade-off studies on mining costs, production rates, and the possibility of processing oxide ores were undertaken to determine project viability and financial outcomes.
Cullarin West Project, Australia (Celsius – 100%)
The Company is continuing to assess the viability of the opportunity and gauge interest from other possible partners. No development activities were conducted during the half-year ended 31 December 2023.
Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year
The Company’s Philippine subsidiary, Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”) is currently in the final stages of obtaining a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA”) with the Philippine Government for its flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Mining Project (“MCB Project”). The MPSA will grant MMCI exclusive rights to undertake exploration, development and commercial production of copper and associated minerals, and the issuance of the MPSA will enable MMCI to undertake the necessary work streams to proceed with the mine development of the MCB Project.
On 8 January 2024, the Company’s Philippine subsidiary, Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. (“TMCI”), submitted an application for a Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (“DMPF”) with the Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau, confirming the technical and financial viability for the Sagay Copper-Gold Project (“Sagay”) in the island of Negros. On 6 February 2024, the Company updated the JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for Sagay. The update to the MRE at Sagay was largely based on the results from the 2023 drilling program at a shallow copper position located ~500m to the west of the main body of mineralisation discovered to date, as announced to ASX on 17 October 2023.
Payment of the required land rental fee to the Pasil Local Government Unit relative to the issuance of the exploration permit for Botilao, as well as stakeholder engagements were carried out during the first quarter of 2024 as prerequisites to the ground implementation of the exploration, environmental and community development work programs which will commence by the second quarter of 2024.

Celsius Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2023
==> picture [87 x 34] intentionally omitted <==
Note 1. Material Accounting Policies
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 Accounting Standard 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 2023 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 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 2023.
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 after tax of $1,666,063 and had operating and investing cash outflows of $3,149,615 for the half-year ended 31 December 2023. The consolidated entity held cash and cash equivalents as at 31 December 2023 of $2,046,731.
The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern as the company will be able to either secure additional funding as required through raising additional capital or reducing the consolidated entity’s discretionary spending. Accordingly, the Directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Should the company be unsuccessful in raising additional funds through the issue of additional capital, there is a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt whether the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore, whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relative to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or, to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not continue as a going concern.
Note 2. 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 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.

Note 12. Events after the reporting period
The Company’s Philippine subsidiary, Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”) is currently in the final stages of obtaining a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA”) with the Philippine Government for its flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Mining Project (“MCB Project”). The MPSA will grant MMCI exclusive rights to undertake exploration, development and commercial production of copper and associated minerals, and the issuance of the MPSA will enable MMCI to undertake the necessary work streams to proceed with the mine development of the MCB Project.
On 8 January 2024, the Company’s Philippine subsidiary, Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. (“TMCI”), submitted an application for a Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (“DMPF”) with the Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau, confirming the technical and financial viability for the Sagay Copper-Gold Project (“Sagay”) in the island of Negros. On 6 February 2024, the Company updated the JORC compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for Sagay. The update to the MRE at Sagay was largely based on the results from the 2023 drilling program at a shallow copper position located ~500m to the west of the main body of mineralisation discovered to date, as announced to ASX on 17 October 2023.
Payment of the required land rental fee to the Pasil Local Government Unit relative to the issuance of the exploration permit for Botilao, as well as stakeholder engagements were carried out during the first quarter of 2024 as prerequisites to the ground implementation of the exploration, environmental and community development work programs which will commence by the second quarter of 2024.
No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 31 December 2023 that has significantly affected, or may significantly affect the consolidated entity's operations, the results of those operations, or the consolidated entity's state of affairs in future financial years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
Conclusion
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Celsius Resources Limited (the Company) which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, 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.
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 2023 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 .
Basis for Conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 , which has been given to the directors of Celsius Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 1 of the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $1,666,063 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $3,149,615 for the half-year ended 31 December 2023. These events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of Celsius Resources Limited 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 for the Review of the Financial Report
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 2023 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 .
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.
