JUNE 2014 QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT

30 July 2014

==> picture [489 x 89] intentionally omitted <==

JUNE QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

CANDONGA IRON ORE PROJECT

  • GU (Guia de Utilização) mining permit lodged with DNPM during April 2014.

  • Environmental approval application lodged with Supram in May 2014 to support a 300,000tpa operation.

  • Diamond drill program commenced with first results expected in August 2014.

  • Pre‐Feasibility Study planned to commence on completion of the current diamond drill program.

JAMBREIRO IRON ORE PROJECT

  • Development timetable extended due to the current challenging conditions in the iron ore market and the fact that debt funding remains reliant on first securing off‐take.

  • Organisational structure rationalised and detailed engineering work deferred in order to conserve cash resources until off‐take and financing is secured.

  • Project IP retained to allow for rapid re‐start of Project development once development funding is put in place.

  • Significant construction activity commenced at the Sudeste Superport during the Quarter, increasing the potential for long‐term off‐take arrangements to be completed.

CORPORATE

  • A$5.5M equity raising completed through a Share Placement and Share Purchase Plan.

  • Restructure of Board and senior management team completed in order to conserve cash and consistent with the revised timing for development of Jambreiro.

BRAZILIAN IRON ORE PROJECTS

Centaurus is focused on developing a long‐term iron ore business in the south‐eastern region of Brazil, specifically in the state of Minas Gerais. The Company’s key Projects, the Jambreiro and Candonga Iron Ore Projects, are located approximately 200km north‐east of the State capital of Belo Horizonte (Figure 1).

CANDONGA IRON ORE PROJECT (CTM 100%)

The Company is fast‐tracking the development of the Candonga Project, located approximately 30km from Jambreiro. During the Quarter, the Company commenced the simple approvals processes required to develop a low‐cost operation producing 300,000tpa of Direct Shipping Ore (‘DSO’) at Candonga.

In addition, a program of diamond drilling commenced (Figure 2) with the objective of upgrading the existing high grade Inferred DSO Resource base at Candonga into the Measured and Indicated categories as the foundation for a Feasibility Study.

The Company’s intention at the Candonga Project is to secure the necessary approvals and commence a small operation as soon as possible to generate an early cash flow stream.

The current Candonga JORC 2004 Resource estimate stands at 11.9 million tonnes (Mt) grading 43.0% Fe[1] including 0.9Mt of high‐grade itabirite mineralisation grading 58.6% Fe with low impurities. This high grade coarse material is expected to produce a DSO product with a simple crush and screen process and has the potential to supply high‐grade lump and coarse sinter products into the Brazilian domestic market.

It also has the potential to be an excellent blending material for the finer grained portion of Jambreiro ore. Details of the JORC Mineral Resource estimate at Candonga are set out in Table 1 below.

1 Refer to ASX announcement on 8 August 2013 for full details of the Resource estimate. This Resource Estimate has not been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

The application for a Trial Mining Licence (Guia de Utilização – “GU”) allows for mining of 300,000tpa of ore per licence. The simple licensing process is managed by the Mines Department (DNPM) in Minas Gerais.

The GU for Candonga was lodged in early April 2014. The Company is now working with the DNPM to plan a site visit to Candonga, which is a key step in the GU approval process. The Company believes that the GU Licence can be obtained within six months.

Concurrently, the Company has advanced the Environmental Licensing process for Candonga with the State Environmental Authority (Supram) by lodging in May 2014 the main Environmental Licence Application, known as the RCA/PCA. The process is relatively straightforward due to the planned operating parameters and because the Project is located on pastoral land requiring no native vegetation clearing.

It is anticipated that the environmental approval process should also be able to be completed within six months.

A program of trenching was carried out in previous quarters and test work from this program has confirmed that both dry and wet DSO lump and sinter feed products can be successfully produced.

The Company intends to initially develop the Candonga Project using a dry processing flow sheet as this will have lower production costs and a reduced environmental impact. This is the basis of the environmental licence requested from Supram.

The current drilling program will provide further geological and process understanding of the DSO mineralisation, and is targeting DSO within conceptual pit limits. Assuming positive outcomes, the drilling should be sufficient to convert a minimum of 600,000 tonnes of the Candonga high grade DSO Inferred Resource to Measured and Indicated categories within the pit limits.

The Company is targeting a development at Candonga within 6‐9 months at a low capital cost due to the likely processing plant being a simple modular crushing and dry screening facility. The total installed capital cost of a plant of this nature is expected to be less than A$5 million; however, given the scale of the operation and the ready availability of this type of equipment in Brazil, it is expected that both mining and processing activities will be outsourced.

A Pre‐Feasibility Study is planned to commence on completion of the current round of diamond drilling that will focus on the high grade DSO mineralisation at Candonga.

JAMBREIRO IRON ORE PROJECT (CTM 100%)

Off‐take and Financing

Jambreiro is one of the few fully permitted, development‐ready greenfields mining projects in Brazil. While discussions for off‐take and debt funding have progressed to an advanced stage, the Company announced in June that, in light of the recent deterioration in market sentiment and conditions in the iron ore sector, it did not expect to be able to finalise a debt and equity funding package in time to meet its previously announced mid‐2014 construction timeline.

From ongoing discussions with potential financiers, it has become evident that debt funding for Jambreiro will remain conditional on securing off‐take, even at the lower 1Mtpa[5] initial production rate and capex spend.

In light of this revised development timeline, the Company initiated cost saving measures during the Quarter which included a rationalisation of the Company’s organisational structure at both Board and management level and the temporary deferral of all ongoing detailed engineering work.

The Company has since focused its engineering activities on consolidating Project data and preparing for a rapid re‐commencement of the Jambreiro development when market conditions improve and financing has been secured.

For Centaurus, the finalisation of a long‐term off‐take agreement has been awaiting the re‐commencement of construction and the finalisation of development of the Sudeste port development in south‐eastern Brazil. Construction activity ramped up significantly during the Quarter, with reportedly more than 3,000 construction personnel now working at the Sudeste site.

This new port is an important asset for many resource groups in the region and, in the case of Centaurus, provides the opportunity to establish long‐term supply arrangements with potential off‐takers for lower cost Jambreiro supply as a substitute for some of their existing integrated supply which is likely to be more profitably delivered into the export market. The commencement of export operations at Sudeste will be an important catalyst in promoting the completion of a suitable off‐take arrangement for Jambreiro as existing domestic supply is diverted to the export market.

Centaurus believes that debt funding can be finalised relatively quickly in a more favourable market and with off‐take arrangements in place. The Company will continue to progress funding and off‐take discussions for Jambreiro in order to achieve a final investment decision as quickly as possible.

New Resource Estimate

Work on a re‐interpretation of the Jambreiro geology was carried out during the Quarter, implementing findings from a detailed geo‐metallurgical program. This work has resulted in the preparation of an updated JORC 2012 Mineral Resource estimate for the Jambreiro Project. The overall JORC Mineral Resource (combined Measured, Indicated and Inferred) reflected a minor increase in Fe grade from the July 2013 estimate of 128.0Mt grading 27.2%[2] Fe to 128.5Mt grading 28.0% Fe (see Table 2).

There is no additional drilling data in this current Mineral Resource update. The updated Jambreiro JORC Mineral Resource estimate is set out in Table 2 below (see Appendix D for JORC 2012 – Table 1 Compliance Statement).

A geo‐metallurgical study completed over the course of the last six months has identified an itabirite unit containing amphibole minerals that did not perform well in the proposed Jambreiro process route.

The amphibolitic itabirite, which is identified geochemically by elevated MgO and CaO grades, was interpreted as a new domain and is now reported separately in the updated Resource. The amphibolitic itabirite is concentrated in the compact mineralisation (see Figures 4‐7) although small localized zones have been identified in the semi‐compact mineralisation.

The domain comprises 2.5Mt of a total of 52.9Mt of the Measured + Indicated Resources within the friable component of the Resource (which includes both friable and semi‐compact material).

Table 3 below compares the tonnage and Fe grade of the friable itabirite (excluding the amphibolitic itabirite from the new Resource) with the friable itabirite from the July 2013 and the June 2012[3] Resource estimates:

20% Fe Cut‐off for all Resources; *June 2014 does not include Friable Amphibolitic Itabirite

The June 2012 Resource estimate is the basis for the Project’s current Ore Reserve estimate of 48.5Mt @ 28.1% Fe[4] . The current Mineral Resource estimate for friable Measured + Indicated, excluding the amphibolitic itabirite, stands at 50.4Mt at 29.3% Fe.

The amphibolitic itabirite material is generally present as an internal layer within the itabirite mineralised zone (see Figures 4‐7). It is likely that this material was previously included in the Ore Reserve estimate; however, an updated Ore Reserve estimate, planned for completion in Q1 2015, will exclude this material.

The amphibolitic itabirite material is of lower iron grade and, with its removal the iron grade of the friable itabirite material has increased from 28.4% Fe in the June 2012 Resource to 29.3% Fe in the updated Resource. This grade increase will assist in compensating for the volume loss in terms of total iron content. The Ore Reserve estimate update will quantify the effect of the changes.

During the re‐interpretation of the geological model the oxidisation levels that determine the limits between the friable, semi‐compact and compact material types were also reviewed and in some cases adjusted.

The updated Mineral Resource estimate included in this Quarterly Report will be the basis for the Ore Reserve update that is planned to commence in Q4 2014. The updated Ore Reserve estimate will also incorporate the adjustment of the initial production rate at Jambreiro to 1Mtpa[5] .

4 Refer to ASX Announcement on 5 November 2012 for full details of the Ore Reserve estimation.

5 Refer to ASX announcements on 20 December 2013 and 13 January 2014 for full details of the material assumptions underpinning the Jambreiro Project Revised Development Plan and associated Production Targets. The Company confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the Production Targets continue to apply and have not materially changed.

CORPORATE

Cash Position

At 30 June 2014, the Company held cash reserves of A$5.0 million.

Equity Raising

During the Quarter, Centaurus announced that it had successfully raised A$5.5 million through a Share Placement and Share Purchase Plan comprising the issue of 44.24 million shares at 12.5 cents per share. The raising was underpinned by its major shareholders Atlas Iron Ltd and Liberty Metals & Mining Holdings, LLC (“LMM”), who increased their equity positions to 21.0% and 14.2% respectively.

The share placement component of the raise was undertaken within the Company’s available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.1A.

The funds raised will be used to underpin drilling, approvals and other pre‐development activities at the Candonga Project while the Company continues to progress off‐take discussions for Jambreiro to support the overall development funding package.

Board & Management Restructure

Subsequent to the end of the period, the Company announced changes to the Board and Management team. At a Board level, the changes involved the Company’s Operations Director, Peter Freund, moving from an executive role to a non‐executive position on the Board. In addition, non‐executive Directors Richard Hill and Steven Zaninovich stepped down from the Board.

At a management level, the Company Secretarial and CFO roles have been combined while the position of General Manager – Operations and a number of other roles in Brazil have been made redundant until off‐ take and financing arrangements for the Jambreiro Project can be completed.

The changes were designed to reconfigure the Board and management team to an appropriate size considering the current stage of development of the Company’s assets while retaining a strong depth of expertise and capability to enable it to press ahead rapidly with the development of Jambreiro as soon as final off‐take and funding is secured.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of the Company was held on Thursday 29 May 2014. All resolutions were passed unanimously on a show of hands.

Shareholder Information

At 30 June 2014, the Company had 239,987,919 shares on issue with the Top 20 holding 63.3% of the total issued capital. Directors and Senior Management held 4.3% of the total issued capital.

Appendix D ‐ JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Compliance Statement for Jambreiro Project

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

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

Criteria Commentary
Sampling
techniques
 All trenches were continuous cut channels down to 2m, sampled on 2m intervals or to
lithological contacts. The 3‐5kg samples were split and pulverised to a ±50g sample for XRF
and titration analysis.
 Reverse Circulation (RC) samples were taken at 1m intervals from which 3‐5kg was split,
prepared and analysed as above.
 Diamond drill hole samples were taken at 1m intervals or to lithological contacts from which
¼ core (3‐5kg) was sampled, prepared and analysed as above.
 The Jambreiro Project has a nominal drill hole spacing of 100mx50m.
 Field duplicate samples were taken at a set frequency of one every 20 samples (5% of total
samples) from the splitter to monitor sample representivity.
 All of the data used for the Resource estimation is based on the logging and sampling of
trenches, RC and diamond core drilling that was carried out under Centaurus procedures that
are in line with industry best practice.
Drilling
techniques
 RC drilling employed a 5.5” face hammer. A total of 183 RC holes for 12,977m have been
drilled. Hole depths range from 13 to 200m.
 Historical diamond drilling (pre‐Centaurus) was carried in HQ size. A total of 7 historical
diamond holes for 365m have been drilled. Hole depths range from 26 to 90m.
 Diamond drilling (Centaurus) was carried in HQ size. A total of 52 historical diamond holes for
5,641m have been drilled. Hole depths range from 34 to 270m
Drill sample
recovery
 For diamond drilling core recoveries were logged and recorded in the database for all
Centaurus diamond holes. Overall recoveries are >90% and there are no core loss issues or
significant sample recovery problems.
 For RC drilling geologists or field assistants recorded sample weights and calculated sample
recovery during drilling. No issues were detected.
 To ensure adequate sample recovery and representivity a Centaurus 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  All trenches and drill holes have been logged geologically and geotechnically to a level of
detail appropriate to support the Mineral Resource estimate as well as metallurgical and
mining study support for iron ore.
 Logging for both forms of drilling is qualitative and quantitative in nature.
 All Centaurus trenches, RC chip trays and diamond core have been photographed. Historical
drilling was not photographed.
 The total length of drilling is 18,983m. 100% has been logged. The total length of trenches is
2,486m. 100% has been logged.

Criteria Commentary
Sub‐sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
 Diamond Core (HQ) was cut with a specialized sampling tool where friable or using a core saw
where compact. A quarter core was sampled.
 RC samples were collected on 1m down hole intervals reduced using a 3‐tier riffle splitter
reducing the sample size to 3‐5kg. Sample weight/split analysis shows that on average a
12.5% split ratio was achieved.
 The majority of mineralised samples from RC drilling were dry.
 All samples were received and prepared by ALS or Intertek Labs in Belo Horizonte, Brazil as 3‐
5kg samples. They were dried at 105°C until the sample was completely dry (6‐12hrs), crushed
to 90% passing 2mm and reduced to 500g via a Jones riffle splitter. The 500g samples were
pulverised to 95% passing 104µm and split further to 50g aliquots for chemical analysis.
 Field control sample insertion included field duplicates taken every 25 samples. Results from
the duplicate samples show the data has an acceptable precision, indicating that the sampling
technique is appropriate for the deposit.
 The sample size is considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the mineralisation (low
grade itabirite ore) as well as the thickness and consistency of the mineralised intersections.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
 All chemical analysis was completed at ALS or Intertek Labs. Laboratory duplicates were
completed every 10‐20 samples and standards were completed every 20‐25 samples
dependent on the laboratory.
 Laboratory control sample insertion included blank samples at the start of every new hole
then every 50 samples and standards (CRM from geostats) every 20 samples. Field duplicates
were inserted every 25 samples.
 Metal Oxide is determined using XRF analysis. Analysis at ALS was for a 24 element suite while
at Intertek analysis was for 11 elements. FeO is determined using Titration and LOI using Loss
Determination by Thermogravimetric analysis.
 Laboratory procedures are in line with industry standards and are appropriate for iron ore.
 Certified reference material (standards) at a set frequency of 1:50 (2% of total samples) within
its sample batches. A number of different standards at a range of grades are used to monitor
analytical precision of the assay results.
 Acceptable levels of precision have been achieved with all standard assays reporting within 2
standard deviations of the certified mean grade for the main elements of interest.
 Blank samples are inserted at the start of every hole.
 Both the ALS and Intertek labs insert their own standards at set frequencies and monitor the
precision of the XRF analysis. These results also reported well within the specified 2 standard
deviations of the mean grades for all main elements. Additionally the labs performed 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.
 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.
 Centaurus sent a selection of pulps to two umpire laboratories (Acme and ALS) for
independent verification. Comparison of results between laboratories did not reveal any
issues and analytical precision was considered acceptable.
 Centaurus QAQC procedures and results are to industry standard and are of acceptable
quality.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
 All significant intersections are verified by alternative Company personnel before release.As
part of Resource estimation process drill hole data was independently reviewed by BNA
Micromine.
 Two sets of diamond twin holes have been drilled for comparison with RC drill holes and
quantitatively analysed with no material issues identified. Based on this Centaurus used both
diamond and RC drill holes in the Resource estimate.
 All primary data is stored in the Centaurus Exploration office (Guanhães, Brazil). All data is
entered into a Micromine Geobank database which is administrated by a Database Geologist.
 No adjustments were made to the assay data apart from resetting the below detection level
values to half of the detection limit.

Criteria Commentary
Location of data
points
 The grid system used is SAD‐69 23S. This is in line with Brazilian Mines Department
requirements. All survey collars and trenches were surveyed using a Total Station. There were
no down hole surveys completed.
 Aerial survey was completed by Geoid laser mapping using Orion laser sensors and a GNSS
receiver. The survey was flown in October 2011. The topographical data was supplied in SAD‐
69 23S coordinates. The quality and resolution of the topographic data is considered to be
adequate for Resource estimation purposes
Data spacing and
distribution
 Drill sections run parallel to the mineralisation at spacing between 80‐100m. Drill holes on
section are generally 50m apart. Due to local topographical constraints the spacing is
sometimes not achievable.
 The data spacing and distribution is considered adequate to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource estimation and classifications
applied under the JORC 2012 code.
 No sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
 The orientation of the mineralisation is well understood and drill holes were designed to
intersect the mineralisation at an appropriate angle. This is demonstrated in the Project
sections (see Figures 4‐7).
 All significant intersections have been reported as downhole widths and not true widths.
 The trenches by nature are oblique to the mineralisation angle and as a result return
accentuated mineralised interval.
 No drilling orientation and sampling bias has been recognized at this time and is not
considered to have introduced a sampling bias.
Sample security  All samples are placed in pre‐numbered plastic samples bags and then a sample ticket is
placed within the bag as a check. Bags are sealed and placed in larger bags (10 samples per
bag) and then transported by courier to ALS or Intertek labs in Belo Horizonte. Sample
request forms are sent with the samples and via email to the labs. Samples are checked at the
lab and a work order is generated by the lab which is checked against the sample request.
 All remnant diamond core, RC chip trays, sample rejects and pulps are stored at the Guanhães
technical office.
Audits or reviews  As part of Resource estimation process drill hole data was independently reviewed by
Volodymyr Myadzel the BNA Micromine Senior Resource Geologist and Project Competent
Person. The report finds the sample techniques and data collection and management to be in
line with current industry standards.
 The Jambreiro Project has also been subject to Independent Engineers review by Coffey
Mining (Australia/Brazil) and NCL (Chile/Brazil). No critical issues were revealed during the
reviews that would be material to the outcomes of this Resource estimate.

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 Jambreiro Project is located wholly within the following Mining Leases: 831.649/2004,
833.409/2007 and 834.106/2010. The Mining Leases are 100% Centaurus owned.
 The tenements are part of the Cenibra‐Centaurus Agreement. Centaurus will pay a vendor
royalty of 0.85% of gross revenue.
 All mining projects in Brazil are subject to a government royalty of 2% of revenue (less taxes
and logistics costs). Additionally a landowner royalty of 50% of the CFEM royalty is to be paid
to Cenibra.
 The Project is not located within national or state wilderness or historical parks.
 At the time of this report the three mining leases are in good standing.
Exploration done
by other parties
 Cenibra conducted geological mapping and a small diamond drill program in 2007 to satisfy
Brazilian Mine Department requirements.
Geology  The Jambreiro Project is located within the Guanhães Group of the Mantiqueira Complex. The
region is dominated by structurally complex meta‐volcanic and meta‐sedimentary sequences
with duplex fault systems and folding ranging from micro folding in outcrop to large scale
regional deformation.
 The Itabirite units are part of an iron formation including ferruginous quartzites, quartzites
and schists hosted within a meta‐sedimentary sequence. This sequence is emplaced in
regional gneissic basement.
 The Itabirite mineralisation comprises concentrations of medium ‐ coarse grained friable,
semi‐compact and compact material that have undergone enrichment. The mineralisation is
composed of quartz, hematite, magnetite, martite with minor goethite, limonite, amphibole
(Grunerite), Mica (muscovite) and clay minerals.
 Itabirite thicknesses vary from 10m to up to 100m generally dipping 45‐70° to the W‐SW. The
combined strike length of the mapped mineralisation is around 3,000m. Itabirite has been
intersected at depths of 240m with friable itabirite intersected to 80m.
Drill hole
Information
 A total of 242 holes for 18,983m have been completed on the Jambreiro Project. Centaurus
completed 52 diamond holes for a total of 5,641m and 183 RC holes for a total of 12,977m.
There are 7 historical drill holes completed by Cenibra for a total of 365m.
 This announcement does not include any new drill hole results. Refer Appendices B and C for
a full list of drill holes and related information.
Data aggregation
methods
 Continuous sample intervals are calculated via weighted average using a 20% Fe cut‐off grade
with 3m minimum intercept width. Intercepts are also separated by lithology where
appropriate.
 There is no reporting of high grade intervals.
 There are no metal equivalents reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
 The orientation of the mineralisation is well understood and drill holes were designed to
intersect the mineralisation at an appropriate angle representing the true widths. Where the
true width is not intersected it is stated and also demonstrated in cross sectional diagrams.
 The trenches by nature are oblique to the mineralisation angle and as a result return
accentuated mineralised interval.
Diagrams  Refer to Figures 3‐7.
Balanced
reporting
 All Exploration Results received by the Company to date have been included in this report in
Appendix B and Appendix C.

SECTION 3 ESTIMATION AND REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCES

(Criteria listed in Section 1, and where relevant in Section 2, also apply to this section).

Criteria Commentary
Database
integrity
 All data is entered into excel data sheets and then imported into a Micromine Geobank
database. Project geologists validate the data entry.
 Assay files are sent electronically from the labs. These files are then imported directly into
Geobank by the database geologist. The data base geologist is responsible for up‐dating the
database and generation of validation reports.
 The independent resource geologist responsible for the Resource estimation ran additional
validation checks on the database before completing the estimation. There were no critical
database issues at the time of the final Resource estimation.
Site visits  The Competent Person for this report, Volodymyr Myadzel (Senior Resource Geologist) for
BNA Micromine Brazil visited the site in December 2010 to complete an external audit of
Centaurus’ drilling, sampling, QAQC, and logging procedures. No significant issues were
revealed during the audit that would be material to the outcomes presented in this Resource
estimate.
Geological
interpretation
 There is good confidence in the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit. The itabirite
mineralisation is consistent in grade and geometry both on section and along strike. This has
been demonstrated with consistent results from previous infill drilling campaigns.
 Surface and trench mapping as well as the ground magnetics geophysics were used for the
interpretation of mineralisation and stratigraphy where there was no drill hole support.
 Lithological domaining of the itabirite mineralisation was completed with the aid of
geochemical analysis and in some cases petrography. These domains are important in the
building of the geo‐metallurgical model and determination of metal recoveries.
 The interpretation of the friable, semi‐compact and compact boundaries was derived primarily
from a hardness scale with support from geochemical analysis where appropriate.
 The Fe grade reduces slightly with depth due to the effect of supergene enrichment near
surface.
 Centaurus Project Geologists were responsible for all stratigraphic, structural and
mineralisation wireframe interpretations. They were then passed to the independent resource
geologist (Competent Person) to generate the block model.
Dimensions  With the combination of the Tigre (1,700m), Cruzeiro (1,200m), Galo (1,500m) and Coelho
(900m) prospects, the Jambreiro Resource has dimensions of approximately 5,500m of total
strike length. The ore body outcrops in most places with a localized thin colluvial cover in
places and is open at depth with the deepest mineralisation being intersected at 240m depth.
The mineralisation is between 10‐100m thick with the average thickness in the main deposit
(Tigre) being around 60m.

Criteria Commentary
Estimation and
modelling
techniques
 Itabirite mineralisation was domained according to hardness (Friable, Semi‐Compact and
Compact) and mineralisation style (Itabirite and Amphibolitic Itabirite). Each geological unit
was domained and estimated separately using hard boundaries. Mineralisation was divided
into eight domains.
 The interpretation was developed off vertical sections. Geological data was extrapolated to
half the distance between the vertical sections (50m) and 150m in depth from the deepest drill
hole. 3D wireframes were built using the Micromine 14.0.6 software. From the wireframes a
block model was built and interpolated by Ordinary Kriging (OK) and Inverse Distance
Weighting (IDW).
 The block model extends from 721302mE to 723102mE and 7943692mN to 7946647mN and
elevation from 520mRL to 1018.7mRL (surface).
 Ordinary Kriging was used to estimate the standard suite of 12 elements (Fe, SiO2, Al2O3, P,
Mn, TiO2, CaO, MgO, K2O, Na2O, Cr2O3and FeO) as well as LOI.
 Parent block size is X=50m, Y=50m and Z=10m with sub block size of X=5m, Y=5m and Z=2.5m.
Average distance of sample spacing for Measured and Indicated is 64m and the search ellipse
longest axis is 150m. Search directions and ranges are domain specific and are determined
from variogram modelling.
 All block estimates are based on interpolation into parent block volumes.
 The parent block and sub block height of 10m and 2.5m respectively was assumed based on
expected bench and flitch heights in waste and ore.
 The Mineral Resource estimate does not include any form of dilution, apart from internal
waste which could not be separated out.
 No assumptions regarding correlation between variables has been made, however, it is
observed that there are direct inverse relationships between Fe and SiO2.
 The mineralisation has clear lithological boundaries and has a Gaussian distribution so top cuts
are not applied. A lower cut‐off of 20% Fe was applied as that appears to be the natural cut off.
 Standard model and estimation validation was completed using standard visual and statistical
methods. Visual comparisons of composite drill data with block data were completed. In
addition comparisons of OK and IDW2/IDW3 models were completed, all with suitable results.
Swath plots have been generated for all relevant elements with respect to depth and strike.
Visual validation of grade trends was carried out. No mining has taken place and as such no
reconciliation data is available.
Moisture  Tonnage is estimated on an in situ basis.
 Moisture measurements were completed as part of the detailed process test work sample
regime. An in situ moisture content of 5% was determined.
 Due to the significant topographical relief the water table depth is quite variable but on
average sits 50m below the surface. Approximately 60% of the Resource is located below the
water table, most of which is compact ore that is not considered in the Reserve.
Cut‐off
parameters
 The cut‐off grade for the itabirite mineralisation is set at >20% Fe, which appears to be a
natural grade boundary between itabirite and ferruginous quartzite. Additional process test
work carried out on <20% Fe material demonstrates it is up‐gradable to saleable product but
at low mass recoveries.
 No cut‐off grades were applied on other contaminant elements.

Criteria Commentary
Mining factors
or assumptions
 Mining is assumed to be carried out via open pit method using conventional backhoe
excavator methods with ore being mined on 5m benches and waste on 10m benches. Haulage
distance will be relatively short, less than 2km. Small off‐road trucks of 30‐45t will be used.
This is a common mining fleet configuration in Brazil.
 Minimal drill and blast will be required in the friable mineralised zone. For Reserve estimates it
is assumed 20% of material will require drill and blast.
 For Reserve estimation a minimum mining face of 30m was applied. Due to the visual nature of
the ore waste contacts a dilution factor of 2% and a mine recovery of 98% was applied. These
are in line with industry standards for itabirite ore in Brazil.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions
 Jambreiro is a low grade itabirite deposit and as such to produce a saleable iron ore
concentrate the ore must pass through a number of process stages.
 The Jambreiro process route is designed to treat the friable itabirite ore which is the basis of
the Reserve estimate. The process route includes gravity and magnetic separation. For the
purpose of the Reserve estimation an average mass recovery of 37% was used. This is in line
with bench pilot scale test work, see ASX announcement on 6 August 2012 for full details of
the Jambreiro Pilot Plant Results.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions
 Both the mine waste and the plant rejects have been studied for potential acid production and
both were found to be inert.
 Extensive study in the use of thickeners and other methods to reduce rejects solids
percentages to the tailings dam have been completed to minimize the tailings dam footprint
and increase used water circulation.
 The Jambreiro Project has been fully licensed by the Minas Gerais State Environmental Agency
(SUPRAM).
Bulk density  Wet bulk density measurements were completed via three methods: in situ dimensional (15
measurements), dill core dimensional calculation (263) and water displacement (128).
Measurements were taken every 5m in the mineralisation and every 10m in waste.
Dimensional calculation was completed for friable material using a 20cm steel mould cutting
the whole core which was then weighed. Water displacement was carried out on 10‐20cm
whole core compact samples.
 The resulting wet bulk density for the mineralised zones was 2.35t/m3for friable, 2.66 t/m3for
semi‐compact and 3.08 t/m3for compact.
 The results are considered to be conservative when benchmarked against similar low grade
itabirite deposits in the Iron Quadrangle, Brazil.
Classification  Resources have been classified by the independent Competent Person in accordance with the
JORC Code 2012 Edition.
 Mineral Resource have been classified by the Competent Person in Measured, Indicated and
Inferred categories based on diamond and RC drill hole spacing (100m x 50m), geological
interpretation confidence, grade continuity, QAQC and geological data confidence and geo‐
statistical quality.
 Mineral Resource classification has appropriately taken into account the data spacing,
distribution, continuity, reliability, quality and quantity of data
 The input data is comprehensive in its coverage of the mineralisation and does not
misrepresent in‐situ mineralisation.
 The definition of mineralised zones is based on a high level of geological understanding
producing a robust model of mineralised domains.
 The results of the validation of the block model show good correlation of the input data to the
estimated grades.
 The geological model and Mineral Resource estimation appropriately reflect the Competent
Person’s view of the deposit and appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors.

Criteria Commentary
Audits or
reviews
 Centaurus has undertaken an internal review of the Mineral Resource estimate and is satisfied
the estimation is valid and of sufficient confidence to support Measured, Indicated and
Inferred classifications.
 As part of the Resource estimation process the Resource estimate was internally reviewed by
BNA Micromine, the Company responsible for the estimate. The report finds the sample
techniques and data collection and management to be in line with current industry standards.
 The Jambreiro Project has also been subject to Independent Engineers reviews by Coffey
Mining (Australia/Brazil) and NCL (Chile/Brazil). No critical issues were revealed during the
reviews that would be material to the outcomes of this Resource estimate.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence
 The confidence in this Resource estimate has been deemed appropriate for medium to long
term planning and mine design. It is not sufficient for shorter term planning and mine
scheduling.
 The Jambreiro Resource estimate is sufficient for Feasibility level study purposes. This
statement relates to global estimates of tonnage and grade.
 Operational management of the mine geology and engineering will be important in the control
of the local variability and consequently the short term mine planning.
 There has been no production from the Jambreiro Project.
