The SPP provides each eligible Centaurus shareholder the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 of new fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Centaurus ( SPP Shares ), subject to a total subscription amount of $30,000 pursuant to this SPP and any prior share purchase plan or similar arrangement undertaken by Centaurus in the past 12 months.
Eligible shareholders who participate in the SPP are also entitled to one free attaching unlisted option ( SPP Option ) for every two SPP Shares subscribed for and issued under the SPP ( SPP Option Offer ). The SPP Options will each be exercisable at $0.50 and will expire on 30 November 2027. Each SPP Option gives the holder the right to subscribe for one Share upon exercise. The SPP Option Offer is being made under a prospectus that is being provided to Eligible Shareholders and accompanies this Booklet.

This SPP gives you an opportunity to increase your holding in Centaurus by subscribing for SPP Shares on the same terms as the Placement, being at an issue price of $0.36 per SPP Share ( Offer Price ). The Offer Price represents a 20% discount to the last traded price of $0.45 on Monday, 11 August 2025 and a 11.8% discount to the 15-day volume weighted average price at which Shares traded on the ASX up to Monday, 11 August 2025 of $0.41.

The Placement Options have not been, and will not be, registered with the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission ( Comissão de Valores Mobiliários or CVM) or any other authority in Brazil and may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, to the public in Brazil. This Prospectus and any other document relating to an offer of Placement Options may not be distributed in Brazil except to “professional investors” (within the meaning of Resolution 160 of the CVM) or otherwise in compliance with Brazilian law.
This Prospectus has not been approved by any Brazilian regulatory authority and does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy, any securities to the public in Brazil.
The Company’s ordinary shares are not listed on any stock exchange, over-the-counter market or electronic system of securities trading in Brazil.
Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)
This Prospectus constitutes an offering of Placement Options only in the Provinces of British Columbia and Ontario (the “Provinces”), only to persons to whom Placement Options may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such securities. This Prospectus is not a prospectus, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This Prospectus may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons who are (i) “accredited investors” (as defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions ) and (ii) “permitted clients” (as defined in National Instrument 31-103 – Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations ) if a lead manager offering the Placement Options in Canada is relying upon the international dealer exemption under NI 31-103.
No securities commission or authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this Prospectus, the merits of the Placement Options or the offering of the Placement Options and any representation to the contrary is an offence.
No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of Placement Options or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the Placement Options in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. While such resale restrictions generally do not apply to a first trade in a security of a foreign, non-Canadian reporting issuer that is made through an exchange or market outside Canada, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Placement Options.
9
The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.
Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission. Securities legislation in certain Provinces may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation, provided the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s Province. A purchaser may refer to any applicable provision of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s Province for particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the Placement Options should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Placement Options as there are Canadian tax implications for investors in the Provinces.

Section 3 RISK FACTORS
3.1 Introduction
This Section 3 identifies the areas the Directors regard as the main risks associated with an investment in the Company. There are numerous widespread risks associated with investing in any form of business and with investing in the share market generally. There is also a range of specific risks associated with the Company's business. These risk factors are largely beyond the control of the Company and its Directors because of the nature of the business of the Company. The following summary, which is not exhaustive, represents some of the main risk factors which the Directors consider potential investors need to be aware of.
3.2 Company specific risks
(a) Capital requirements
The continued operations of the Company are dependent on its ability to obtain financing through sources of debt and equity or generating sufficient cash flows from future operations. There is a risk that the Company may not be able to access capital from debt or equity markets for future projects or developments, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and financial condition.
The Company’s ability to borrow money will be subject to the availability of debt at the time the Company wishes to borrow money and the cost of borrowing.
(b) Exploration risks
There can be no assurance that any exploration tenement, or any other mining tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of an economic ore deposit. Even if an apparently viable deposit is identified, there is no guarantee that it can be economically exploited.
The exploration costs of the Company will be based on certain assumptions with respect to the method and timing of exploration. By their nature, these estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties and, accordingly, the actual costs may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that any cost estimates and the underlying assumptions will be realised in practice, which may materially and adversely affect the Company's viability.
These exploration risks could also result in personal injury, environmental damage and potential legal liability. While the Company intends to maintain insurance with coverage consistent with industry practice, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain such insurance coverage at reasonable rates (or at all), or that any coverage it obtains will be adequate and available to cover such claims.
The time it takes to explore any project is dependent in part on obtaining various approvals. The time it requires to obtain such approvals is not certain. To the extent that these approvals and licences are issued at the discretion of the relevant regulatory authorities, there is no certainty that the Company will be able to obtain the grant of these necessary licences and approvals within any proposed timeframe, or at all.
20
(c) Resource and reserve estimates
Resource and reserve estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, experience, industry practice and regulatory codes. Estimates that were valid when made may change significantly when new information becomes available. In addition, resource and reserve estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on interpretations, which may prove to be inaccurate. Should the Company encounter mineral characteristics different from those predicted by past drilling, sampling and similar examinations, resource and reserve estimates may have to be adjusted and development plans may have to be altered in a way which could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
(d) Development risk
The future development of the Company’s projects is dependent on the outcome feasibility studies for those projects and will require the Company to undertake ongoing environmental, resource, mining, geotechnical, metallurgical, plant and non-plant infrastructure, operational and capital costs studies. There is a risk, where the outcomes or results of such studies are not as expected or are unfavourable, that the Company will not proceed with the development of its projects or that the capital expenditure, operating costs or proposed timing of the Company’s projects are less favourable that anticipated or otherwise determined in the relevant studies.
(e) Commodity price volatility
The Company’s performance and the viability of its projects will rely in part on prevailing commodity prices, which are beyond the control of the Company. The Company gives no assurance that the fluctuations in commodity prices will not affect the timing and viability of its projects. Significant adverse movements in commodity prices could also affect the ability to raise debt and equity to fund future exploration and development of projects.
(f) Exchange rates
The Company is exposed to changes in the US Dollar and the Brazilian Real. Sales of most commodities are denominated in US Dollars. The Company’s capital and operating costs will be primarily denominated in Brazilian Real. Weakening of the Australian dollar may impact the feasibility of an exploration or development project being pursued by the Company and may reduce the Company’s ability to continue to undertake exploration and development activities in accordance with its business plans.
(g) Land owner and access risk
The Company may be required to pay compensation to land owners, local authorities, traditional land users and others who may have an interest in the area covered by a mining tenement. The Company's ability to resolve compensation issues and compensation costs involved will have an impact on the future success and financial performance of the Company's operations.
If the Company is unable to resolve such compensation claims on economic terms, this could have a material adverse effect on the business, results or operations and financial condition of the Company. Further, in Brazil, exploration works may only begin on an exploration tenement once agreement has been reached in relation to compensation of the relevant landowners, or in the absence of agreement, once the value of the compensation is set by a court of law.
Access to land for exploration purposes can be affected by land ownership, nature reserves and national parks, government regulation and environmental restrictions. Access is critical for exploration and development to succeed and the ability to be able to negotiate satisfactory commercial arrangements with landowners, farmers and occupiers is often essential.
21
(h) Title risk
Title to a mining tenement will be subject to the holder complying with the terms and conditions of the tenement. There is a risk that if the holder does not comply with the terms and conditions of each tenement, it may lose its interest in the relevant tenement. In particular, all the mining tenements in Brazil which the Company has or may, upon grant, have an interest in will be subject to the completion of sufficient exploration activities in a three year period. If any of the mining tenements have not had sufficient exploration activities to meet the relevant Brazilian reporting standards, the tenements may be removed and the Company may suffer damage through loss of opportunity to develop any mineral resources on that tenement.
Further, all of the tenements in which the Company has or will have an interest may be subject to applications for renewal or extension from time to time. The renewal or extension of the term of each tenement is subject to the applicable legislation in the relevant jurisdiction. If a tenement is not renewed for any reason, the Company may suffer significant damage through loss of the opportunity to develop and discover any mineral resources on that tenement.
The Company will also apply for new tenements from time to time, the grant of which is subject to applicable legislation in the relevant jurisdiction. There is no guarantee the tenements applied for will be granted or granted in a timely manner which may create lost opportunity for the Company.
(i) Sovereign risk
The Company's exploration and development activities are predominantly to be carried out in Brazil. As a result, the Company will be subject to political, social, economic and other uncertainties including, but not limited to, changes in policies or the personnel administering them, foreign exchange restrictions, changes of law affecting foreign ownership, currency fluctuations, royalties and tax increases in that country. Other potential issues contributing to uncertainty such as repatriation of income, exploration licensing, environmental protection and government control over mineral properties, changes to political, legal, regulatory, fiscal and exchange control systems and changes in government may also impact the Company’s projects or operations.
(j) Reliance on key management
The responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operations and the strategic management of the Company depends substantially on its senior management, each of whom has knowledge and experience of the Company’s operations that cannot be replicated by others in the short term. The CEO and management may, subject to the relevant periods of notice specified in their employment agreements with the Company, terminate their employment relationship with the Company at any time and the loss of any member of the senior management team could harm the Company’s business.
It may be difficult to secure replacements with appropriate experience and expertise and it may be difficult to replacement senior management in the short term. This may adversely affect the Company’s business.
(k) Contract risks
The Company's subsidiaries may operate through a series of contractual relationships with operators and sub-contractors. All contracts carry risks associated with the performance by the parties thereto of their obligations as to time and quality of work performed. Any disruption to services or supply may have an adverse effect on the financial performance of the Company’s operations.
22
(l) Regulatory risk
The Directors anticipate that the Company may have operations in overseas jurisdictions and as a result may be exposed to a range of different legal and regulatory regimes. This will give rise to risks relating to labour practices, foreign ownership restrictions, tax regulation, difficulty in enforcing contracts, and other issues. Possible sovereign risks include (without limitation) changes in legislation, a shift in political attitude, changes in economic and social conditions, political instability, the imposition of operating restrictions, government participation, changes to taxation rates and/or concessions, exchange control, licensing, duties or imposts, repatriation of income, or return of capital. Any of these factors may, in the future, adversely affect the financial performance and financial position of the Company.
(m) Equipment risk
The exploration activities of the Company could be adversely affected if essential drilling equipment fails, is delayed or is unavailable when required by the Company.
(n) Environmental risk
The Company’s projects are subject to various environmental laws. As with all exploration and development projects, the projects have a variety of environmental impacts. The Company will continue to conduct its activities in an environmentally responsible manner and in accordance with applicable laws.
Although the Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, there are certain risks inherent to its activities, such as accidental spills, leakages or other unforeseen circumstances, which could subject the Company to extensive liability.
Further, the Company may require approval from the relevant authorities before it can undertake activities that are likely to impact the environment. Failure to obtain such approvals will prevent the Company from undertaking its desired activities. The Company is unable to predict the effect of additional environmental laws and regulations, which may be adopted in the future, including whether any such laws or regulations might materially increase the Company's cost of doing business or affect its operations in any area.
There can be no assurances that new environmental laws, regulations or stricter enforcement policies, once implemented, will not oblige the Company to incur significant expenses and undertake significant investments which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.
(o) Litigation risk
The Company is subject to litigation risks. All industries, including the resources industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. Defence and settlement costs of legal claims can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation processes, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding to which the Company is or may become subject could have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or the Company’s activities.
(p) Taxation risk
Any change in laws and regulations applicable to the taxation of income, intercompany transactions, withholding taxes, levies and other transactional taxes affecting the Company in
23
the countries it operates in or in which it is listed, or any change in the current interpretation or any disputes with tax authorities or any changes to the Company's income mix, may adversely affect its tax status and increase its tax payable, which would have a negative effect on financial results.
(q) Employment law risk
From time to time, the Company may receive claims from former employees for a variety of labour related matters which may or may not have merit. The Company’s general approach is to defend these claims as they arise. As with any litigation the outcome of any claim will not be known until heard by the court. Any claim which is not able to be successfully defended may result in a loss to the Company.
3.3 General risks
(a) Securities investments
Participants should be aware that there are risks associated with any securities investment. The prices at which the Shares trade may be above or below the issue price and may fluctuate in response to a number of factors. Further, the stock market has experienced price and volume fluctuations. There can be no guarantee trading prices will not be subject to fluctuation. These factors may materially affect the market price of the Shares, regardless of the Company's operational performance.
(b) Share market conditions
The market price of the Shares may fall as well as rise and may be subject to varied and unpredictable influences on the market for equities in general. Neither the Company nor the Directors warrant the future performance of the Company or any return on an investment in the Company.
(c) Economic risk
Changes in the general economic climate in which the Company operates may adversely affect the financial performance of the Company. Factors that may contribute to that general economic climate include the level of direct and indirect competition against the Company, industrial disruption in any of the areas in which the Company operates, global growth rates, interest rates and the rate of inflation.
(d) Policies and legislation
Any material adverse changes in government policies or legislation of Australia or any other country in which the Company has economic interests or potential markets for its product may affect the viability and profitability of the Company.
(e) Geo-political developments
An increasing level of geopolitical risks such as political instability, regulatory change, trade restrictions and diplomatic tensions could disrupt supply chains and market access and create an environment in which investor confidence is negatively impacted. This could potentially impact the Company’s ability to raise funding when required, both for working capital purposes and for the development of its projects. The effect of changing trade policy settings by countries that are both major producers and market destinations for critical minerals is likely to have an impact on commodity prices (refer to Section 3.2(e) for risks relating to commodity price volatility).
24
(f) Investment speculative
The above risk factors ought not to be taken as an exhaustive list of the risks faced by the Company or by prospective investors in the Company. The above factors, and others not specifically referred to above, may in the future materially affect the financial performance of the Company and the value of the Attaching Options offered under this Prospectus. Therefore, the Shares to be issued on the exercise of the Attaching Options to be issued pursuant to this Prospectus carry no guarantee for the payment of dividends, returns of capital or their market value. Prospective investors should consider that the investment in the Company is speculative and should consult their professional adviser before deciding whether to apply for Attaching Options pursuant to this Prospectus.

4.5 Rights attaching to Shares
(a) Voting
Every holder of Shares present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative at a meeting of Shareholders has one vote on a vote taken by a show of hands, and, on a poll every holder of Shares who is present in person or by proxy, attorney or representative has:

(b) Dividends
The Directors may determine that dividends are payable on Shares. Shareholders may be entitled to dividends as a result of ownership of their Shares in accordance with the Constitution.
(c) Further issue of securities
Subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, the Directors may allot, grant options over, or otherwise dispose of shares in the Company at the times and on the terms the Directors think fit but the Company shall not issue any share with a voting right more advantageous than that available to any share previously issued by the Company. A share may be issued with a preferential or special right.
