| The SPP, which forms part of the recently announced $23m capital raising, allows existing eligible Centaurus | |
| shareholders to subscribe for up to A$30,000 worth of new Centaurus shares | |
| Further to its ASX announcements of 14 and 20 August 2025, Centaurus Metals Limited (ASX: CTM, OTCQX: CTTZF) (Centaurus | |
| or theCompany) is pleased to advise that its recently announced Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise up to approximately $3 | |
| million opens today. The SPP allows existing eligible Centaurus shareholders to subscribe for up to $30,000 of new fully | paid |
| ordinary shares in Centaurus (Shares) without incurring brokerage, commission or transaction costs. | |
| The SPP forms part of a wider capital raising initiative being undertaken by Centaurus. On 14 August 2025, the Company | |

| attaching option for every two Shares subscribed for under the Placement, each exercisable at $0.50 with an expiry date of | |
| 30 November 2027 (Placement Options). The Placement Price represented an 11.8% discount to the 15-day volume weighted | |
| price average at which Shares traded on the ASX up to an including 11 August 2025. The Placement attracted strong demand | |
| from Australian and international institutional and sophisticated investors. The combined proceeds of the Placement, the SPP | |
| and Centaurus’ existing cash of $9 million (as at 30 June 2025) will ensure the Company is well funded to: | |
| • advance the development of the Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project in northern Brazil ahead of a Final Investment Decision |
|
| in H1 2026; | |
| • progress strategic partnering, off-take and debt funding discussions; |
|
| • undertake further exploration at the exciting Boi Novo Copper Project; and |
|
| • meet its general working capital requirements. |
