JAGUAR NICKEL SULPHIDE PROJECT SELECTED TO JOIN BRAZIL CLIMATE AND ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION INVESTMENT PLATFORM (BIP)

The BIP Platform allows Centaurus to present the Jaguar Project as an investment opportunity and seek funding from a large pool of domestic and international investors

• BIP is an initiative of the Brazilian Government, with the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) acting as its Secretariat and manager of day-to-day operations.

• The Platform will connect selected Brazilian projects with financial and non-financial stakeholders, with an estimate of up to US$10.8 billion in capital ready to be mobilised by these stakeholders.

• BIP aims to boost investments aimed at decarbonising the Brazilian economy and promoting the sustainable use of resources, supporting three sectors and sub-sectors that are essential for climate transition plans: Nature-Based Solutions and Bioeconomy, Industry and Mobility, and Energy.

• Jaguar has been selected as one of the projects to be taken on by BIP and Centaurus is now set to meet interested investors, such as major investment banks, Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and global investment funds in the ecological transformation ecosystem to discuss potential funding alternatives.

Centaurus Metals Limited (ASX Code: CTM, OTCQX: CTTZF; Centaurus or the Company ) is pleased to advise that the Company’s Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project ( Jaguar or the Project ) in northern Brazil has been selected as one of the projects to be taken on by the Brazil Climate and Ecological Transformation Investment Platform (BIP), which offers the opportunity to access a capital pool of more than US$10 billion.

BIP was officially launched by the Brazilian Government in October 2024 and is part of Brazil’s efforts to support its climate transition agenda. With BNDES acting as its Secretariat, the Platform will introduce its selected projects to key financial and non-financial stakeholders with the goal of promoting the mobilization of public and private capital, both through equity and debt structures – to be negotiated subsequently between the relevant parties.

In order to be selected by BIP, a project must comply with several parameters, such as, alignment with transition plans and national programs, the ability to create a material environmental impact, as well as delivering significant socio-economic co-benefits.

The approval of Jaguar’s submission and the Project’s inclusion as part of the BIP Platform once again highlights its exceptional ESG credentials and economic potential.

Centaurus is looking forward to being a part of the Platform and supporting both the Brazilian Government’s and BNDES’ decarbonisation efforts – in Brazil and worldwide. The Company sees this as a positive opportunity to connect with different institutions, both domestically and abroad, as it works to secure the funds required to develop and operate Jaguar.
