Celsius Resources Limited Directors' report 31 December 2024

Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper Gold Project, Philippines

Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”), an affiliate of Celsius in the Philippines , has progressed the development of its flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project (“MCB Project”) in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

During the period, the Company was granted a one-time six-month extension, until March 13, 2025, to finalise investment agreements with its potential investor, Maharlika Investment Corporation (“MIC”). This extension will enable the Company to provide additional proof of financial capability to the Philippine Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Mines and Geosciences Bureau (“DENR-MGB”). Satisfying this requirement will fullfill the remaining condition for the issuance of the Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (“MPSA”) with the Philippine Government.

In September 2024, the Philippine National Commission on Indigenous Peoples issued the Certification Precondition which certified that MMCI had obtained the consent of the community and had complied with the Free, Prior and Informed Consent Process (“Certification”). The delay in the issuance of the Certification has contributed to the delay in finalising the funding for the MCB Project, which prompted the Company’s request for the issuance of the one-time extension to comply with the requirements for proof of financial capability.

Maharlika Investment Corporation is a Philippine Government Owned and Controlled Corporation mandated to manage and generate optimal returns on investments to catalyse the Country’s economic growth and social development (“MIC”). MIC has been working closely with MMCI to complete the technical, financial and legal due diligence and documentation to secure the necessary approvals for a proposed investment agreement regarding funding of the MCB Project. Details of the proposed investment agreement will be disclosed to shareholders once the contracts are finalised and become binding.

MMCI has also progressed the tendering of contracts with international and local engineering companies to conduct frontend-engineering, along with the hydrogeological and geotechnical drilling, to support engineering and long-term construction activities as well as the advancement of operational underground mine development. Evaluation of proposals and issuance of contracts are currently being finalised.

In parallel with the tendering process, MMCI’s technical team initiated further detailed geological mapping at a scale of 1:1000, along with a compass-and-tape traverse, to gather essential structural and lithological data. Further dam site investigations and data gathering was conducted to assess current ground situations which will feed into the front-end engineering and design (“FEED”). Desktop analysis and field verification were also initiated to gather data for the tree cutting permitting requirements. The technical team is proposing the use of light detection and ranging (“LiDAR”), a remote sensing technology, as a cost-efficient method in lieu of a physical tree inventory. Daily water level monitoring has also commenced during the quarter to gather data for the construction water permit application.

To address the manpower requirements for the upcoming construction and operational phases, the Company signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Regional Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (“TESDA”). This partnership aims to develop and enhance the skills of the workforce from host and neighbouring communities, fostering employment and business opportunities. By leveraging shared resources, this collaborative approach seeks to empower and strengthen the competence of the Filipino workforce, contributing to sustainable economic growth.

Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect, Philippines

MMCI currently holds a two-year exploration permit for its Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect, adjacent to the MCB Project in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

MMCI has continued to engage with stakeholders to reaffirm its commitment to open communication to address community issues and concerns as well as secure community support. This is in preparation for the onsite activities of its Exploration, Environment, and Community Development Programs.

Sagay Copper-Gold Project, Philippines

Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. (“TMCI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Celsius in the Philippines, secured the approval of its Social Development and Management Program (“SDMP”) and the acceptance of the Final Exploration Report (“FER”) from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau for the Sagay Copper-Gold Project (“Sagay Project”) in the Negros Islands. The acceptance of the Exploration Report confirmed its compliance with the Philippine Mineral Reporting Code 2020 guidelines, including the declaration of its mineral resource estimates. This is one of the key requirements for the approval of the Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility (“DMPF”).

Celsius Resources Limited Directors' report 31 December 2024

Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia

The Company has been in early-stage discussions regarding a potential transaction with a strategic partner/s concerning the disposal of the Company’s 95% interest in the Opuwo Cobalt Project in Namibia. During the half year ended 31 December 2024, the Company agreed the terms of a non-binding agreement with Stewardship Investments (Pty) Ltd concerning the disposal. Although discussions are continuing, there can be no certainty that any binding agreement will be reached or the timing of any such agreement.

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 2024.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial half-year

On 24 February 2025 the Company’s Philippine affiliate, Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”) signed a binding term sheet with Maharlika Investment Corporation (“MIC”) which outlined the key terms of a bridge loan facility of up to USD 76.4 million (“Facility), to fund the Company’s flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project (“MCB” or the “Project”).

The Facility is intended to fully finance the updating of MMCI’s feasibility study (“FS”) and FEED, and partially funding early development activities, including main access road construction in coordination with the Kalinga Provincial Government and skills-based training for the Balatoc community. The binding term sheet is also intended to enable MMCI to comply with the financial capability requirements under its Mineral Production Sharing Agreement with the Philippine Government.

The proceeds of the Facility mark a critical milestone in the Project’s funding, enabling immediate commencement of work with the initial funding amount of USD10 Million. Consequently, these works will no longer require direct funding from CLA. Discussions on the additional equity funding required are ongoing, given total estimated capital expenditure of the Project.

On 10 March 2025, the Company announced it had secured firm bids of $3.15 million through a strongly supported Placement from new and existing shareholders, and institutional investors (Placement). New shares were been conditionally subscribed for at a price of $0.08 per share and were issued with a free-attaching option for every 2 shares subscribed for at an exercise price of $0.01 and expiring 3 years from the date of issue. The fundraising is to take place in 2 tranches: the first will raise ~$1.698 million and will settle by 18 March 2025, with the second tranche of funding of ~$1.451 million subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be held in April 2025.

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 2024 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 2024.

Going Concern

The consolidated entity incurred a loss after tax of $7,359,463 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,091,926 and $1,173,008 respectively, for the half-year ended 31 December 2024. The consolidated entity held cash and cash equivalents at 31 December 2024 of $984,480.

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt as to whether the consolidated entity will 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 report.

The directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern, after consideration of the following factors:

  • Subsequent to period end, the Company received commitments of $3.15 million through a strongly supported placement from new and existing shareholders;

  • Subsequent to period end, the Company announced a bridge loan facility of up to USD 76.4 million, to fund the Company’s flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project;

  • The ability of the consolidated entity to issue additional equity securities to raise further working capital; and

  • The ability to curtail corporate and administration expenses and overhead cash outflows as and when required.

Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the consolidated half-year financial statements on a going concern basis.

Should the consolidated entity not achieve the matters set out above there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore, the consolidated entity may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report. The financial report does not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the consolidated entity not able to continue as a going concern.

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and within the consolidated entity.

There have been no judgements, apart from those involving estimation, in applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in these financial statements.

Following is a summary of the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation at reporting date that have not been disclosed elsewhere in these financial statements:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

12

Celsius Resources Limited Notes to the financial statements 31 December 2024

==> picture [87 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions (continued)

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

Share based payment transactions

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined by using an appropriate valuation model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but may impact profit or loss and equity.

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.

Note 3. Segment information

The consolidated entity operates within two geographical segments within the mineral exploration and extraction industry, being Australia, Namibia and Philippines. The segment information provided to the chief operating decision maker is as follows:

Note 18. Events after the reporting period

On 24 February 2025 the Company’s Philippine affiliate, Makilala Mining Company, Inc. (“MMCI”) signed a binding term sheet with Maharlika Investment Corporation (“MIC”) which outlined the key terms of a bridge loan facility of up to USD 76.4 million (“Facility), to fund the Company’s flagship Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project (“MCB” or the “Project”).

The Facility is intended to fully finance the updating of MMCI’s feasibility study (“FS”) and FEED, and partially funding early development activities, including main access road construction in coordination with the Kalinga Provincial Government and skills-based training for the Balatoc community. The binding term sheet is also intended to enable MMCI to comply with the financial capability requirements under its Mineral Production Sharing Agreement with the Philippine Government.

The proceeds of the Facility mark a critical milestone in the Project’s funding, enabling immediate commencement of work with the initial funding amount of USD10 Million. Consequently, these works will no longer require direct funding from CLA. Discussions on the additional equity funding required are ongoing, given total estimated capital expenditure of the Project.

On 10 March 2025, the Company announced it had secured firm bids of $3.15 million through a strongly supported Placement from new and existing shareholders, and institutional investors (Placement). New shares were been conditionally subscribed for at a price of $0.08 per share and were issued with a free-attaching option for every 2 shares subscribed for at an exercise price of $0.01 and expiring 3 years from the date of issue. The fundraising is to take place in 2 tranches: the first will raise ~$1.698 million and will settle by 18 March 2025, with the second tranche of funding of ~$1.451 million subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting to be held in April 2025.

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 2024, 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 material accounting policy information 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 halfyear.

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 2024 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 $7,359,463 and had net cash outflows from operating and investing activities of $1,091,926 and $1,173,008 respectively, for the half-year ended 31 December 2024. As stated in Note 1, 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 2024 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.
