CENTAURUS RECEIVES STRONG INTEREST FROM LEADING INTERNATIONAL FINANCIERS FOR JAGUAR NICKEL DEVELOPMENT

Competitive non-binding offers received for up to US$320m in project finance

Centaurus Metals (ASX Code: CTM, OTCQX: CTTZF) is pleased to provide an update on the project financing process for the development of the Company’s 100%-owned Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project in northern Brazil.

The Company recently requested project financing proposals from a group of international resource financiers to underpin the construction of the Jaguar Project. To date the Company has received strong interest from ten leading financiers, including the recently announced Letter of Intent received from the Brazilian National Development Bank (BNDES) 0F[1] .

Non-binding offers received are for up to US$320 million, with multiple proposals over US$250 million.

The Company is in the process of selecting a short-list of preferred financiers and moving to the next stage of the project financing process, which will involve site visits, completion of due diligence and facility documentation.

A preferred financier or syndicate will be appointed to arrange and underwrite project finance in Q3 2026.

Basic engineering work is nearing completion and preparation for early-stage works has commenced at the Project, ahead of a Final Investment Decision targeted to coincide with appointment of the preferred financier or syndicate in Q3 2026.

Commenting on the project financing process, Centaurus’ Managing Director, Darren Gordon, said:

“We are extremely pleased with the strong level of interest received from a large number of leading international resource financiers and their ongoing participation in the project financing process for Jaguar.

“The strong non-binding offers received are an endorsement of the quality of the Jaguar Project and its excellent cashflow generating potential.

“Coupled with the recently announced signing of a Binding Offtake Agreement with Glencore AG 1F [2] and the appointment of Thiago Costa as Jaguar Project Director 2F [3] , Centaurus’ development strategy for Jaguar is rapidly gathering momentum.

“We look forward to appointing a Tier-1 financier or syndicate to arrange and underwrite project finance for Jaguar before the end of Q3 2026.”
