THE HOT NEW ADDRESS FOR COAL

==> picture [720 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [21 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

Geology: Celsius has secured high quality thermal and coking coal deposits in Kyrgyzstan (principally the Uzgen Basin), with other potential acquisitions under consideration. During the time of the Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan was designated as the main supplier of raw materials to the rest of the republics.

==> picture [21 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

Size: An Exploration Target[1] of 501 to 700 Mt has been defined for the Uzgen ' Basin Projects based on historical exploration (principally Soviet era mapping, trenching and ~30,000m drilling). Upside potential via exploration.

==> picture [21 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [21 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [21 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

Focus: Immediate drilling of Tuyuk-Kargasha, Kokkia and Min Teke to resource status in accordance with JORC code. Estimate initial resources by early 2013. Mining: Immediate mine start-up with Min Teke and Sary Mogol. Potentially significant open cut and underground mining at all projects – multiple sites. Infrastructure/Markets: The Kyrgyzstan coal projects are in close proximity to the proposed Trans-Asia Railway, China and other potential end users, as well as located in a country with strong and growing domestic demand.

1 Note that the potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. This Exploration Target is detailed at the end of presentation.

==> picture [191 x 96] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [322 x 271] intentionally omitted <==

  • 7 core drilling rigs secured for the 2012 field season, with mobilisation expected this month. Minimum 5,000 metres to be drilled.

  • 5 rigs to commence drilling at Tuyuk and Kargasha. 2 rigs to commence drilling at MinTeke, then to move to Kokkia.

  • Earthmoving has commenced on site, with access roads being upgraded / constructed.

  • Drill pads / access tracks will then be constructed, as well as trenching outcropping surface coal.

  • All work in Country uses local contractors, and field staff are sourced from the region.

  • Celsius will train its technical staff in JORC compliant drilling and sampling procedures and other industry “best practices”.

Overview

==> picture [720 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Celsius to acquire an 80% interest in three prospective high quality coking and thermal coal assets located in the Uzgen Basin, Kyrgyzstan.

  • Exploration target of 501 to 700 Mt of coal based on historical exploration[1] .

  • Tenements cover a total land area of 9,763Ha (97.63km[2] ).

  • The Tuyuk-Kargasha project (8,000ha) is potentially a large tonnage coking coal project and has undergone substantial historical drilling. Semiindustrial scale plant built on site to test coking properties of coal.

  • The Kokkia project (1,576ha) is potentially a large tonnage coking coal project with substantial coal outcropping at surface.

  • The Min Teke project (187ha) consists of development /mining licence covering outcropping thermal coal.

  • Several options exist for coal sales, including China and other Central Asian neighbours as well as domestic use.

1 Note that the potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. This Exploration Target is detailed at the end of presentation.

Overview

==> picture [720 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • 90% interest in two prospective high quality thermal coal assets, located in southern Kyrgyzstan.

  • The Sary Mogol project consists of a development/mining licence covering a previously operated open cut thermal coal mine.

  • It is anticipated that production can be recommenced rapidly due to the infrastructure and expertise in place.

  • The Bel Alma project is potentially a large tonnage, high energy thermal coal project (based on surface sampling). An Exploration Target[1] of 20 to 51 million tonnes of coal has been defined.

  • Kyrgyzstan is a net importer of thermal coal, so there is potential to supply the domestic market.

  • Projects are close to the Chinese border (another potential end user of the coal, along with regional neighbours).

1 Note that the potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. This Exploration Target is detailed at the end of presentation.

  • The Uzgen Basin coking coal projects are within 75km of existing railway (Kok Jangak) and close proximity to the proposed Trans-Asia Railway, which will allow direct access to China via rail.

  • There are several options for the sale of coking coal, including China and markets in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan.

  • The Altai Range thermal coal projects in southern Kyrgyzstan are very close to the north-west Chinese border providing the opportunity to sell directly into China.

  • Kyrgyzstan is a net importer of thermal coal, so there is potential to supply the domestic market as well as supplying neighbouring central Asian countries mentioned above.

==> picture [191 x 96] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [720 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Management: Highly experienced and qualified Board and Management in place. Industry professionals who have been “on the ground” in country.

  • First Mover: Celsius has secured a significant foot hold in highly prospective areas known to have extensive coal deposits (principally the Uzgen Basin), with other potential acquisitions under consideration.

  • Cheap Entry: With a market capitalisation of circa $40m on completion of the recent acquisition, the current share price represents a very cheap entry into a portfolio of large tonnage, world class thermal and coking coal projects which have been drilled previously (~30,000m completed).

  • Right Location: The Kyrgyzstan coal projects are in close proximity to the proposed Trans-Asia Railway, China and other potential end users, as well as located in a country with strong and growing domestic demand.

  • Further Opportunities: Multiple quality additional projects available. The Company has built strong relationships with local partners and contractors.

==> picture [191 x 96] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [720 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

Significant Exploration Upside:

  • Tuyuk-Kargasha and Kokkia projects have significant potential for coking and thermal coal based on Soviet era exploration (quality exploration and evaluation).

  • An Exploration Target[1] of 501 to 700 Mt has been defined based on historical exploration (principally Soviet era mapping, trenching and drilling (~ 30,000m)).

  • Bel Alma and Min Teke projects have had limited past exploration and offer significant upside through drilling. The Exploration Target[1 ] defined for Bel Alma is between 20 and 51 million tonnes of coal.

  • Utilization of modern drilling and exploration techniques (previous exploration focussed on surface coal and trenching).

  • Immediate Mining:

  • Min Teke development/mining licence and outcropping thermal coal.

  • Sary Mogol development/mining licence and significant historical stockpiles of coal which could be exploited. Sampling indicates high energy thermal coal.

1 Note that the potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. This Exploration Target is detailed at the end of presentation.

  • Kyrgyzstan is historically known for its natural resources and ideally placed to supply its closest neighbour China with much needed minerals and other resources.

  • During the time of the Soviet Union, Kyrgyzstan was designated as the main supplier of raw materials to the rest of the republics.

  • Kyrgyzstan's coal reserves have been estimated at about 27 billion tonnes, of which the majority remained entirely unexploited. Approximately 3 billion tonnes of this amount is judged to be of highest quality.

  • The development of these coal deposits will be a significant boost to the Kyrgyzstan economy and the Company will work closely with government agencies to ensure that its operations benefit the regions in which they are located.

  • The Company is also conscious of introducing “best practice” procedures to assist the development of the local mining industry.

  • For the first time, on 10 October 2010, Kyrgyzstan held free and fair parliamentary elections.

  • Kyrgyz citizens voted in a referendum in June 2011 in favour of the introduction of a parliamentary democracy and constitutional changes, including curbing presidential powers.

  • The country is now the first parliamentary democracy in Central Asia, a region dominated by authoritarian leaders.

  • Almazbek Atambaev was elected President and commenced his new role on 1 January 2012.

  • Kyrgyzstan consumes in excess of 1.5mpta of thermal coal, but the domestic output is only in the order of 500ktpa.

  • Consequently, there is a significant domestic market for quality thermal coal.

  • Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are both importers of thermal coal and are in close proximity to the Tuyuk-Kargasha, Kokkia, Min Teke, Bel Alma and Sary Mogol projects.

And then there is China...

  • Celsius’ Alai Range Coal Projects are only 80-180km by road from the Chinese border.

  • South-east of the Projects is Kashgar which is a major city in the region and has been designated as a new Economic Developmental Zone (EDZ) within China.

  • Shandong Iron and Steel Group set to launch a large-scale iron and steel project in Kashgar. Commissioned in July 2012 with estimated cost of RMB 6 billion the production capacity of the project will reach six million tons steel/iron per year once completed.

  • Another potential market is Urumqi, a significant steel producing city and capital of Xinjiang Province.

The information in this Presentation that relates to exploration results and Exploration Targets relating to the Kyrgyzstan Projects is based on information compiled by Grant Thomas who is Managing Director of Celsius Resources and a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Mr Thomas has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the „Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves‟.

Mr Thomas consents to the inclusion in this Presentation of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Exploration Targets

It is common practice for a company to comment on and discuss its exploration in terms of target size and type. The information in this announcement relating to Exploration Targets should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. Hence the terms Resource(s) and Reserve(s) have not been used in this context in this announcement. The potential quantity of coal presented in this announcement as Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature. It should be noted that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource which complies with the JORC code, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Celsius Resources intends to carry out an exploration programme to systematically test the Exploration Targets for each of the Prospects.
