(Reissue of Release from 6 August 2019)

CENTAURUS SECURES OPTION TO ACQUIRE OUTSTANDING LARGESCALE NICKEL SULPHIDE PROJECT IN BRAZIL FROM VALE S.A.

Proposed transformational acquisition of Jaguar Nickel Project will propel Centaurus into the soughtafter nickel sulphide development space – with outstanding high-grade open pit potential

  • Centaurus granted a binding call option by Vale allowing it to acquire 100% of the Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project, located in the Carajás Mineral Province, Brazil through an innovative deal which includes an asset swap arrangement on the Salobo West Project.

  • Exercise of the call option by Centaurus is subject to the Board of Vale S.A. approving the transaction (with approval anticipated to occur at the end of August 2019). The terms of the formal acquisition agreement have already been agreed.

  • Jaguar contains a global foreign resource of 40.4Mt at 0.78% Ni (0.5% Ni cut-off) for a total of 315,000 tonnes of contained nickel[1] , based on more than 55,000m of diamond drilling.

  • Transaction provides a significant opportunity to establish a high‐grade JORC compliant Resource in the near term, with multiple shallow high-grade zones delineated by previous diamond drilling:

  • 34.0m at 3.31% Ni from 56m in PKS-JAGU-DH00065;

  • 42.4m at 2.20% Ni from 76m in PKS-JAGU-DH00132;

  • 31.4m at 2.47% Ni from 15.3m in PKS-JAGU-DH00030; and

  • 26.0m at 2.13% Ni from 66.0m in PKS-JAGU-DH00033.

  • Historical preliminary metallurgical testwork shows that conventional flotation produces a high-grade +23% nickel concentrate at 64% recovery.

  • Outstanding exploration upside – exploration drill-hole PKS-JAGU-DH00158 returned 7.9m at 5.27% Ni from 247m with the nearest drill-hole more than 250m away.

  • The Jaguar Project is located just 35km north of the regional centre of Tucumã (population +50,000) with a 230kVA substation located only 15km south-east of the Project at Vale’s Onça-Puma Nickel Plant.

  • Consideration for the transaction will comprise an upfront cash payment of US$250,000, the transfer of the Salobo West tenements to Vale, two deferred consideration payments totalling US$6.75M and a production royalty of 0.75%. The majority of the deferred consideration will be tied to first commercial production.

1 CTM cautions that the mineral resources for the Jaguar Project are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A Competent Person has not yet done sufficient work to classify the resources as mineral resources in accordance with the JORC code. It is uncertain that, following evaluation or further work, the foreign estimate will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC Code.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

  • Vale will have the right to purchase 100% of production from Jaguar under a future Off-take Agreement.

  • Completion of the formal agreement will be conditional on approval by the Brazilian National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) for the assignment of BNDES’ royalty interest in the Project, as well as any shareholder approvals required by Centaurus.

Centaurus Metals (ASX Code: CTM ) is pleased to announce that it has secured an exceptional exploration, growth and development opportunity in the international nickel sulphide sector after reaching agreement with global mining giant, Vale S.A. (“ Vale ”) to acquire (subject to formal Vale Board approval) the advanced, large-scale Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project (“ Jaguar or the “ Project ”), located in the world-class Carajás Mineral Province of northern Brazil.

Centaurus and Vale have entered into a binding option agreement under which Vale has granted Centaurus a call option, exercisable at any time within 30 days after Vale’s Board resolves to approve the transaction, to require Vale to execute the formal agreement.

Further terms of the acquisition agreed under the formal agreement (which has been negotiated to final executable form) are set out below.

The transformational acquisition, which has been secured through an innovative agreement with Vale that includes a key asset-swap arrangement on Centaurus’ Salobo West Copper-Gold Project, will give the Company an opportunity to pursue the development of an advanced and well-located nickel sulphide project in northern Brazil which offers outstanding high-grade open pit development potential.

The transaction will upgrade Centaurus’ extensive Brazilian resource portfolio, with its corporate and strategic focus moving forward set to be on the Jaguar Nickel Project and the advanced Jambreiro Iron Ore Project (where it recently completed an updated Pre-Feasibility Study).

The Jaguar Project will give the Company further exposure to a metal with exceptional supply-demand fundamentals and a robust outlook given its use in the stainless-steel industry (which currently accounts for 70% of global consumption) and growing consumption by the lithium-ion battery sector.

Jaguar is an at-surface nickel sulphide project with a non-JORC compliant resource of 40.4Mt at 0.78% Ni (at a 0.5% Ni cut-off) for a total of 315kt of contained nickel metal that is underpinned by more than 55,000m of diamond drilling and an extensive geological and geophysical database. Within the historical resource drilling, multiple shallow massive to semi-massive sulphide zones have been identified with outstanding highgrade intersections such as 34.0m at 3.31% Ni from 56m in PKS-JAGU-DH00065.

Historical preliminary metallurgical testwork demonstrates that the sulphide mineralisation is recoverable by conventional flotation, producing a high-grade +23% nickel concentrate at 64% recovery (refer Appendix D for historical lock cycle test results and concentrate grades).

The Jaguar Project is located just 35km north of the regional centre of Tucumã (population +50,000) with a 230kVA sub-station located 15km south-east of the Project at Vale’s Onça-Puma Nickel Mine (Figure 1).

The Project hosts multiple nickel sulphide deposits and an extensive suite of exploration targets for highgrade nickel, copper-gold and PGE’s (see Figure 2). The exploration potential is highlighted by results such as regional exploration drill hole PKS-JAGU-DH00158, which returned an outstanding intercept of 7.9m at 5.27% Ni, 0.26% Cu and 1096ppm Co from 247m with the nearest drill-hole being more than 250m away.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

==> picture [52 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

More than 55,000m of diamond core was drilled into the main deposits from 2006 to 2010. The drilling is wide-spaced (+100m between sections) and targeted bulk tonnage, low-to-medium grade nickel mineralisation. The extent of the drilling and the exceptional prospectivity of the Project for high-grade nickel can be seen in the large number of significant drill intersections set out in the Table at Appendix C.

Centaurus will, upon completion of the transaction, immediately focus on the shallow high-grade nickel zones in the Jaguar and Onça-Preta deposits (see Figure 2 and Figures 5 and 6), applying innovative strategies to the evaluation and development of these deposits with the goal of becoming a high-grade open pit nickel producer in the medium term.

Commenting on the landmark acquisition, Centaurus’ Managing Director, Mr Darren Gordon, said:

“Nickel sulphide deposits like Jaguar are extremely rare globally and for Centaurus to be able to successfully acquire such an outstanding asset is a great result for the Company and our shareholders. We have developed a strong working relationship with Vale through the negotiation process and to be able to secure this opportunity from them is testament to Vale’s strong belief in the mutual benefits that can be realised under their recently rolled out ‘mini-mines’ model for base metals, and Centaurus’ strong credentials in Brazil and the Carajás.

“With near-surface resources of 40.4Mt at 0.78% Ni for 315,000t of contained nickel, this acquisition will lift Centaurus into the much sought-after nickel sulphide development space. We intend to focus our initial efforts on the high-grade open pit potential of the deposits, with the aim of progressing these zones towards production as rapidly as possible.

“Underpinned by a high-quality database, including 55,000m of diamond drilling, we now have a clear development path in the Carajás that should result in the achievement of a number of significant project milestones over a relatively short period. These will include drilling results, metallurgical results and a maiden JORC Resource to support future project development work.

“This is an exceptional opportunity for Centaurus. Most of the premier mid-cap nickel sulphide mining and development companies on the ASX were born from assets divested by the majors. Companies like IGO, Western Areas, Panoramic and Mincor were all built around assets that did not reach the threshold of the majors, but were pivotal to building the valuations they have today and creating the foundations for quality mid-tier mining houses.

“We believe the acquisition of the Jaguar Nickel Project will provide the same opportunity for Centaurus as there simply aren’t many nickel sulphide projects globally of this quality that provide the opportunity to fast-track a nickel sulphide development ready to meet the growing market shortfall.”

Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project

The Jaguar Project hosts multiple nickel sulphide deposits and exploration targets within a 30km[2] land package in the western portion of the world-class Carajás Mineral Province. Occurring from surface, the nickel sulphide mineralisation is hosted by porphyritic felsic sub-volcanic and granitic rocks located along multiple sub-vertical ductile-brittle hydrothermal alteration zones.

There are multiple defined deposits and at least four quality exploration targets on the project.

The historical Mineral Resource estimate completed by Vale in 2010, which was based on more than 55,000m of diamond drilling, comprised 40.4Mt at 0.78% Ni at a 0.5% Ni cut-off for a total of 315kt of contained nickel metal (see Table 1 below). All historical resource work was completed to the highest industry standards.

Centaurus will engage an independent resource specialist to review and update the resource to JORC 2012 compliance during the initial phase of planned work programs.

Note: This information is reported on the basis of a Foreign Estimate and as such, is not reported in accordance with the JORC Code. The Foreign Estimate reported is based on a 0.5% Nickel cut-off and no additional economic constraints were applied to the resource. An additional 17.2Mt at 0.76% Ni was reported in the Inferred Resource category of the Foreign Estimate. The Centaurus Competent Person considers that these Inferred Resources do not currently meet the requirements of the JORC Code for reporting Mineral Resources. The resource is to be read in conjunction with ASX Listing Rule 5.12 (Appendix A). Further information regarding the exploration results are presented in Appendix B utilising the template prescribed by the JORC Code (2012).

The average depth of drilling at Jaguar is 335m with the deepest drill holes reaching 535m. In all cases the deposits remain open at depth and, in some cases, along strike.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

==> picture [52 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

The key deposits are described briefly below:

  • Jaguar South: +2.1km strike with continuous mineralised zones up to 50m wide (within broader discontinuous zones up to 240m), open at depth and along strike to the east and hosted in porphyritic felsic sub-volcanics. Best drill results include: 34.0m at 3.31% Ni from 56m in PKS-JAGU-DH00065 and 42.4m at 2.20% Ni from 76m in PKS-JAGU-DH00132 . See Figure 5 for a cross-section of Jaguar South.

  • Jaguar North: +2.0km strike with continuous mineralised zones up to 35m wide (within broader discontinuous zones up to 200m), open at depth and along strike to the east. Best drill results include: 32.3m at 1.40% Ni from 55.5m in PKS-JAGU-DH00024 and 7.0m at 2.82% Ni from 67.0m in PKS-JAGUDH00046.

  • Jaguar West: +1.2km strike with continuous mineralised zones up to 60m wide, open at depth and potentially to the west. Best drill results include: 21.7m at 1.13% Ni from 17.2m in PKS-JAGU-DH00088 and 15.00m at 1.02% Ni from 74.0m in PKS-JAGU-DH00087.

  • Onça-Preta: 300m long sub-vertical lens hosted in gneissic rocks, open at depth and soil anomalies suggest that it could be open along strike. Best drill results include: 31.8m at 1.13% Ni from 66.2m in in PKS-JAGU-DH00127 and 18.0m at 2.19% Ni from 318.0m in PKS-JAGU-DH00014. See Figure 6 for a cross-section of Onça-Preta.

Figure 2 – The Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project – Key Deposits and Exploration Targets

Nickel sulphide mineralisation occurs as two types at Jaguar. The bulk low-medium grade mineralisation occurs as veins and veinlets to stringer sulphides associated with, and generally concordant to, the W-NW

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

==> picture [52 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

trending large scale hydrothermal alteration zones. This was the type of mineralisation targeted in the historical drilling.

The high-grade mineralisation forms as zones of massive and semi-massive sulphides comprising bodies up to 30m thick, parallel or oblique to the large hydrothermal alteration zones. Centaurus will focus its in-fill and extensional drilling efforts on these near-surface high-grade targets.

High-Grade Open Pit Potential – The Short Term Focus

Historical drilling focused on the bulk tonnage low-medium grade mineralisation and, as such, all historical drilling was completed on north-south orientated sections spaced 100m apart with 40-100m between drill holes. Vale did not generally follow-up with any targeted drilling of the high-grade massive and semi-massive sulphide intersections because its exploration approach was based on the assumption that these structures were not going to deliver the size of deposit required by Vale to meet its minimum hurdles and commit to a development decision.

The deposits host multiple thick zones of primary high-grade massive and semi-massive nickel sulphide intersections (as per below) that occur close to surface with outstanding nickel grade (see also Appendix C for all significant drill results and Figures 5 and 6 for cross-sections; widths and depths are down-hole).

  • 34.0m at 3.31% Ni from 56m in PKS-JAGU-DH00065;

  • 42.4m at 2.20% Ni from 76m in PKS-JAGU-DH00132;

  • 31.4m at 2.47% Ni from 15.3m in PKS-JAGU-DH00030;

  • 26.0m at 2.13% Ni from 66.0m in PKS-JAGU-DH00033;

  • 32.3m at 1.40% Ni from 55.5m in PKS-JAGU-DH00024;

  • 30.6m at 1.46% Ni from 65.5m in PKS-JAGU-DH00048;

  • 17.4m at 2.38% Ni from 23.8m in PKS-JAGU-DH00121;

  • 31.5m at 1.27% Ni from 115.0m in PKS-JAGU-DH00115;

  • 16.6m at 1.98% Ni from 99.4m in PKS-JAGU-DH00054;

  • 31.8m at 1.13% Ni from 66.2m in in PKS-JAGU-DH00127; and

  • 11.8m at 2.56% Ni from 55.0m in PKS-JAGU-DH00112.

The late-stage high-grade zones often appear oblique to drilling, suggesting that the historical drill orientation was not particularly favourable to identifying and defining the high-grade zones. Re-logging and reinterpretation are already underway with a focus on understanding the structural controls and plunge of the high-grade zones in order to allow Centaurus to focus on the development of an initial high-grade open pit project before moving underground on the high-grade lodes.

The close association of magnetite with the high-grade massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation lends itself very well to ground Magnetic and Electro-magnetic (EM) surveys. Both are planned to start by the end of August 2019.

Project Development Advantages

Process Metallurgy

Centaurus’ assessment of the results obtained by the preliminary metallurgical testwork completed by Vale indicates that the sulphide mineralisation is recoverable by conventional flotation, producing a high-grade +23% nickel concentrate at 64% recovery, a good Fe:MgO ratio of 8.6, very low arsenic (25 ppm) and low talc. See Appendix D for historical lock cycle test results and concentrate grades.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

==> picture [52 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Historical test work consisted of first pass lock-cycle tests, and with further testwork, enhancements to the already high-quality metallurgical recovery results can be expected. Furthermore, once fresh diamond core sample is received, Centaurus plans to investigate additional conventional and new processing opportunities that can help reduce the processing costs, improve recoveries and allow the production of value-added products.

This will include, but not be restricted to, ore sorting, development of the geo-met model to optimise plant recoveries and the investigation of multiple concentrates and/or value-added products. The main nickel sulphides are high-tenor millerite and pentlandite and the rejection of pyrite will increase the concentrate grade. Furthermore, the rejected pyrite is cobalt-bearing (up to 2.4% Co) and there may be a separate market for this product.

The Company will also investigate the production of a sulphur-rich product as this could potentially be sold to the neighbouring Onça-Puma nickel laterite mine.

Mining Lease Application

The Jaguar Project comprises one Exploration Lease (EL), 856.392/1996, that covers an area of 30km[2] which has a valid Mining Lease Application. The application, which envisaged a large bulk-tonnage open pit mine and processing plant, has been lodged with the Brazilian Mines Department (ANM) and is currently pending approval.

Centaurus expects to update the Mining Lease application once a better understanding of the high-grade open pit opportunity is understood.

Environmental Licensing

The Project area is predominantly located on pastoral land or previously disturbed vegetated areas and there are no national forests within 40km of the project. Water is readily available all year round.

Although environmental licensing for drilling is yet to be lodged, the licensing requirements for drilling are within the São Felix de Xingu municipality, the same municipality where Centaurus has established a strong working relationship on the back of its licensing work on the Company’s Itapitanga Nickel Laterite Project. This should assist the licensing process for exploration drilling at Jaguar, with drilling planned to start in October this year.

Multiple Exploration Targets

The Project is ideally located at the intersection of two major fault zones of the Carajás, the Canaan and McCandless faults. The majority of the first-priority geochemical anomalies have been tested but there are multiple structures and coincident Ni/Cr anomalies (geochemical indicator of nickel sulphides) and geophysical targets that remain untested (see below and Figure 2).

  • Onça-Rosa: +1.5km strike of Ni/Cr in soil anomalies coincident with Ground Magnetics and IP anomalies. Three drill holes including 7.9m at 5.27% Ni from 247m in PKS-JAGU-DH00158, which is located more than 250m from the next nearest drill hole;

  • Leão: +3.5km long Ni/Cr and Cu in soil anomalies coincident with Ground Magnetics and IP anomalies. Only one drill hole tested more than 3.5km of anomalies;

  • Tigre: Large scale Ni/Cr and Cu in soil anomalies coincident with Ground Mag and IP anomalies, no drilling;

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

==> picture [52 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

  • Filhote: +2.0km PGE’s soil anomaly with coincident geophysical target (IP). Two drill holes with intersections up to 1.1g/t PGEs.

Jaguar Deal Terms under the Formal Agreement

The consideration payable for 100% acquisition of the Jaguar Project involves a small up-front cash payment, with the main component of the future cash consideration contingent on successful production from the Project. This significantly de‐risks the acquisition for the Company and allows the Company to focus on advancing the development aspects of the Project over the next 18 months.

Up-Front Consideration on Closing (Closing of the Formal Agreement to occur upon BNDES approval of the Transaction)

  • US$250,000 cash; and

  • The transfer of all Salobo West Exploration Licences and Exploration Licence Applications to Vale.

Deferred Consideration

  • US$1.75 million on the commencement of a Bankable Feasibility Study, or construction funding being secured, or 3 years from agreement signing, whichever occurs first;

  • US$5.0 million on First Commercial Production;

  • A Net Operating Revenue royalty of 0.75% on all concentrate production from the project; and

  • Centaurus to take on Vale’s obligation to Brazil’s National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) for 1.8% Net Operating Revenue royalty.

Off-take

Vale and Centaurus have also agreed to enter into a future Off-take Agreement whereby Vale can purchase 100% of the production from the Project (with the product or products from the project to be determined during future Feasibility Study work). Under the proposed key off-take terms, Vale would acquire all production from any future operation at Jaguar on standard arm’s length prevailing market prices and they may consider a pre-purchase of product to support Centaurus’ funding of the project.

Cooperation

Vale and Centaurus will also explore opportunities to optimise costs of the Project as well as to generate potential synergies between the Project and the nearby Projects of Vale.

Salobo West Divestment

Salobo West is a highly prospective and strategically located exploration project with the potential to deliver Tier-1 IOCG-style discoveries in proximity to one of Vale’s cornerstone copper-gold operations. Centaurus has pursued a systematic and diligent exploration program over the past two years to advance Salobo West to a drill-ready stage, while at the same time progressing the permitting process to a stage where the grant of the relevant licences is anticipated shortly.

While the Company remains very enthusiastic about the potential of Salobo West, the reality is that this is expensive exploration in a challenging environment for a junior exploration company. Given its dominant footprint in northern Brazil and the close proximity of the Salobo mine, Vale is the natural owner of this asset.

AUSTRALIAN SECURITIES EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT & MEDIA RELEASE

==> picture [52 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

The opportunity to secure an advanced high-grade nickel sulphide development project, with over 55,000 metres already drilled, by using Salobo West as part of the consideration for purchase of the Jaguar Project, was a compelling proposition for Centaurus.

Next Steps for the Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project

Centaurus will focus initial drilling and project development efforts on near surface high-grade targets with in‐fill and extension drilling, aiming to improve the understanding of the high-grade mineralisation and add significantly more high-grade nickel tonnes to the current resource.

The near-term project milestones to be undertaken in the second half of 2019 include:

  • Re-logging and re-interpretation with focus on the structural controls and plunge of the high-grade zones (underway);

  • Engagement of a geophysical specialist to re-process historical ground and airborne geophysical survey data (underway);

  • Ground Magnetic and Electro-magnetic (EM) geophysical surveys;

  • In‐fill and extensional drilling within the known deposits to test the continuity of high-grade zones;

  • Complete a maiden JORC Resource estimate; and

  • Metallurgical testwork and process route determination.

Centaurus has conducted an extensive review of all data and Vale’s existing foreign resource estimate. Details of the exploration results and foreign resource estimate are provided in Appendices A and B. Centaurus will engage an independent resource specialist to review and update the current resources to JORC 2012 compliance.

APPENDIX A – ASX Listing Rule 5.12

Under ASX Listing Rule 5.12 an entity reporting qualifying foreign estimates of mineralisation in relation to a material mining project must include all the information shown in Listing Rule 5.12. Centaurus considers the Jaguar Project to be a material mining project and as such provides the following information regarding the Project in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.12 :

Listing Rule Criteria Commentary
5.12.1 The source and date of the historical
estimates or foreign estimates.

The foreign resource is contained in a report “Resource Estimate Report
- Jaguar Project F4FEL1” completed internally by Vale’s Resource
Evaluation Department,in May2010.
5.12.2 Whether the historical estimates or
foreign estimates use categories of
mineralisation other than those defined
in Appendix 5A (JORC Code) and if so an
explanation of the differences.

The May 2010 foreign estimate for the Jaguar deposit was sub-divided,
in order of geological confidence, and categorized as Measured,
Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. The Centaurus competent
person considers that the Measured and Indicated categories of the
foreign estimate are comparable to the Indicated category under the
JORC Code.

The Centaurus competent person considers that the Inferred Resources
do not currently meet the requirements of the JORC Code for reporting
Mineral Resources.

The Centaurus competent person has not yet done sufficient work to
classify the resources as Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC
code. It is uncertain that following evaluation or further work that the
foreign estimate will be able to be reported as mineral resources in
accordance with the JORC Code.

This Foreign Estimate is the most recent Mineral Resource estimate on
the Jaguar depositprovided byVale.
5.12.3 The relevance and materiality of the
historical estimates or foreign estimates
to the entity.

The foreign estimate is relevant as it pertains to a project that could be
economically viable for the entity.
5.12.4 The reliability of the historical estimates
or foreign estimates, including by
reference to any of the criteria in Table
1 of Appendix 5A (JORC CODE) which
are relevant to understanding the
reliability of the historical estimates or
foreign estimates.

Centaurus considers that the Foreign Estimate provided by Vale, one of
the world’s largest nickel producers and resource companies generally,
is sufficiently reliable and consistent with current industry standard
estimation methodologies. Vale provided Centaurus with an Internal
Resource Estimate Report dated 25 May 2010. This report confirmed
that the sampling protocols and estimation parameters and
methodology used by Vale are appropriate for the style of
mineralisation.
5.12.5 To the extent known, a summary of the
work programs on which the historical
estimates or foreign estimates are
based and a summary of the key
assumptions, mining and processing
parameters and methods used to
prepare the historical estimates or
foreign estimates.

The Jaguar deposit was estimated using Ordinary Kriging (OK) method
to estimate nickel, cobalt, copper and gangue mineral grades. The
Mineral Resource is based on 51,971 metres of drilling in 156 diamond
drill holes.

Geological boundaries were constructed using modern industry
accepted software. The modelled geological boundaries were used to
constrain grade estimations appropriately within each geological
boundary.

Drill hole assays were composited using one metre down the hole
composite lengths. Codes were assigned based on the location of the
composite centroid relative to the geological triangulations and were
utilized during the estimation process.

Capping was determined for nickel composites using statistical
histogram and log probability plots. Composites were evaluated
individually for each modelled geologic boundary.

All required information about the Mineral Resource is captured in a 3D
block model. This includes estimated characteristics of nickel, cobalt,
copper and certain gangue minerals and statistical characteristics such
as number of samples used in an estimate, distances to the nearest
samples, number of drill holes used, geological rock codes and dry
densities.

APPENDIX B –Compliance Statements for the Jaguar Project

The following Tables are provided for compliance with the JORC Code (2012 Edition) requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results at the Jaguar Project.

SECTION 1 - SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections).

Criteria Commentary
Sampling techniques
Historical soil sampling was completed by Vale, samples were taken at 50m intervals along 200m
spaced north-south grid lines.

Surface material was first removed, and sample holes were dug to roughly 20cm depth. A 5kg
sample was taken from the subsoil. The sample was placed in a plastic sample bag with a sample
tag before being sent to the lab.

Surface rock chip/soil samples were collected from in situ outcrops and rolled boulders and
submitted for chemical analysis.

The historical drilling is all diamond drilling. Drill sections are spaced 100m apart and generally there
is 50 to 100m spacing between drill holes on sections.

Core was cut and ¼ core sampled and sent to commercial laboratories for physical preparation and
chemical assay.

Sample length along core varies between 0.3 to 4.0m, with an average of 1.48m; sampling was done
according to lithological contacts and generally by 1m intervals within the alteration zones and 2m
intervals along waste rock.

Due to the nature of mineralisation which is sub-vertical, mineralisation is mostly oblique to drill
core.

At the laboratories, samples were dried (up to 105°C), crushed to 95% less than 4mm,
homogenized, split and pulverized to 0.105mm. A pulverized aliquot was separated for analytical
procedure.
Drilling techniques
Historical drilling was carried out between 2006 to 2010 by multiple drilling companies (Rede and
Geosol), using wire-line hydraulic diamond rigs, drilling NQ and HQ core.

Vale drilled 173 drill holes for a total of 58,024m of drilling on the project. All drill holes were drilled
at 55⁰-60⁰ towards either 180⁰ or 360⁰.
Drill sample recovery
Diamond Drilling recovery rates were calculated at each drilling run.

For all diamond drilling, core recoveries were logged and recorded in the database for all historical
diamond holes. Overall recoveries are >98% and there are no core loss issues or significant sample
recovery problems.

To ensure adequate sample recovery and representivity, a Vale geologist or field technician was
present during drilling and monitored the sampling process.

No relationship between sample recovery and grade has been demonstrated. No bias to material
size has been demonstrated.
Logging
Historical outcrop and soil sample points were registered and logged in the Vale geological mapping
point database.

All drill holes have been logged geologically and geotechnically by Vale geologists.

Logging for drilling is qualitative and quantitative in nature.

All historical diamond core wasphotographed.
Sub-sampling techniques and
sample preparation

Diamond Core (HQ) was cut using a core saw (HQ and NQ), ¼ core was sampled. Sample length
along core varies between 0.3 to 4.0m, with an average of 1.48m; sampling was done according to
lithological contacts and generally by 1m intervals within the alteration zones and 2m intervals
along the waste rock.

There is no non-core sample within the historical drill database.

QAQC: Standards (multiple standards are used on a rotating basis) are inserted every 20 samples.
Blanks have been inserted every 20 samples. Field duplicates are completed every 30 samples.
Additionally, there are laboratory standards and duplicates that have been inserted.

Sample sizes are appropriate for the nature of the mineralisation.

All geological samples were received and prepared by SGS Geosol or ALS Laboratories as 0.5-5.0kg
samples. They were dried at 105°C until the sample was completely dry (6-12hrs), crushed to 90%
passing 4mm and reduced to 400g. The samples were pulverised to 95% passing 150µm and split
further to 50g aliquots for chemical analysis.

Duringthepreparationprocessgrain size control was completed bythe laboratories(1per 20

samples).
Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests

Chemical analysis for drill core and soil samples was completed by multi element using Inductively
Coupled Plasma ICPAES (multi-acid digestion); ore grade analysis was completed with Atomic
Absorption (multi-acid digestion); sulphur analysis was completed with Leco, and Au and PGEs
completed via Fire Assay.

SGS Geosol and ALS Laboratories insert their own standards at set frequencies and monitor the
precision of the analysis. These results reported well within the specified standard deviations of the
mean grades for the main elements. Additionally, the labs perform repeat analyses of sample pulps
at a rate of 1:20 (5% of all samples). These compare very closely with the original analysis for all
elements.

Vale inserted standard samples every 20 samples (representing 5%). Mean grades of the standard
samples are well within the specified 2 standard deviations.

All laboratory procedures are in line with industry standards. Analysis of field duplicates and lab
pulp duplicates have returned an average correlation coefficient of over 0.98 confirming that the
precision of the samples is within acceptable limits.

ValeQAQCprocedures and results are to industrystandard and are of acceptablequality.
Verification of sampling and
assaying

All historical samples were collected by Vale field geologists. All assay results were verified by
alternative Vale personnel. The Centaurus CP has verified the historical significant intersections.

No twin holes were completed.

All primary data is now stored in the Centaurus Exploration office in Brazil.

No adjustments were made to the assaydata.
Location of data points
All collars were picked up using DGPS units. Centaurus has checked multiple collars in the field and
has confirmed their location. All field sample and mapping points were collected using a Garmin
handheld GPS.

An aerial survey was completed by Esteio Topografia and has produced a detailed surface DTM at
(1:1000 scale).

The survey grid system used is SAD-69 22S. This is in line with Brazilian Mines Department
requirements.
Data spacing and
distribution

Soil samples were collected on 50m spacing on section with distance between sections of 200m
and 400m depending on location.

Sample spacing was deemed appropriate for geochemical studies.

The historical drilling is all diamond drilling. Drill sections are spaced 100m apart and generally there
is 50 to 100m spacing between drill holes on sections.

No sample compositingwas applied to the drilling
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Historical drilling was oriented at 55⁰-60⁰ to either 180⁰ or 360⁰. This orientation is generally
perpendicular to the main geological features sequence along which broad scale mineralisation
exists.

Centaurus will investigate the higher grade, structurally controlled mineralisation which is
understood to be oblique to historical drilling.
Sample security
All historical samples were placed in pre-numbered plastic sample bags and then a sample ticket
was placed within the bag as a check. Bags were sealed and then transported by courier to the SGS
Geosol or ALS laboratories in Parauapebas, PA.

All remnant diamond core is stored at the Vale core shed in Parauapebas, PA and is to be
transported to Centaurus core shed.
Audits or reviews
The Company is not aware of any audit or review that has been conducted on the project to date.

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section).

Criteria Commentary
Mineral tenement and land
tenure status

The Jaguar project includes one exploration licence (856392/1996) for a total of circa 30km2. A
Mining Lease Application has been lodged that allows for ongoing exploration and project
development ahead of project implementation.

The tenement is part of a purchase agreement with Vale SA. Centaurus has committed to upfront
cash payment of US$250,000, the transfer of the Salobo West tenements to Vale, two deferred
consideration payments totalling US$6.75M and a production royalty of 0.75%. Completion of the
acquisition remains subject to final Vale S.A. Board approval as well as approval by the Brazilian
National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) for the assignment of BNDES’ royalty
interest in the Project.

All mining projects in Brazil are subject to a CFEM royalty, a government royalty of 2% on base metal
revenue.

Landowner royalty is 50% of the CFEM royalty.

The project is covered by a mix of cleared farm land and natural vegetation.

The project is not located within any environmental protection zones and exploration and mining is
permitted with appropriate environmental licences.
Exploration done by other
parties

Historically the Jaguar Project was explored for nickel sulphides by Vale from 2005 to 2010.
Geology
Jaguar Nickel Sulphide is a hydrothermal nickel sulphide deposit located near Tucumã in the Carajás
Mineral Province of Brazil.

The deposit setting is interpreted as an extensional fault with the Itacaiúnas Supergroup down thrust
southwards over the Xingu basement resulting in the development of a ductile mylonite zone along
the Canãa Fault.

Iron rich fluids were drawn up the mylonite zone causing alteration of the host felsic volcanic and
granite units and generating hydrothermal ironstones. Late stage brittle-ductile conditions triggered
renewed hydrothermal fluid ingress and resulted in local formation of high-grade nickel sulphide
zones within the mylonite and as tabular bodies within thegranite.
Drill hole Information
Refer to Figure 2, 5 and 6 and Appendix C.

This report does not include anynew drill hole results.
Data aggregation methods
Continuous sample intervals are calculated via weighted average using a 0.5 % Ni cut-off grade with
3m minimum intercept width.

There are no metal equivalents reported.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths and
intercept lengths

The results reported in this announcement reflect individual down hole sample intervals and no
mineralised widths were assumed or stated.
Diagrams
Refer to Figures 1-2 and 5-6.
Balanced reporting
All exploration results received by the Company to date are included in this report.
Other substantive
exploration data

The Company has received additional geophysical data from Vale that is being processed by an
independent consultant.
Further work
The Company is undertaking re-logging and re-interpretation of the historical data with focus on the
structural controls and plunge of the high-grade zones.

The Company has engaged a geophysical specialist to re-process historical ground and airborne
geophysical survey data. Additionally, that company will prepare Ground Magnetic and Electro-
magnetic (EM) geophysical surveys to be carried out in the coming months.

In‐fill and extensional drilling within the known deposits to test the continuity of high-grade zones
areplanned to start inQ4 2019.
