The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Roger Fitzhardinge, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australasia Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Volodymyr Myadzel, a Competent Person who is a Member of Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Roger Fitzhardinge is a permanent employee of Centaurus Metals Limited and Volodymyr Myadzel is the Senior Resource Geologist of BNA Consultoria e Sistemas Limited, independent resource consultants engaged by Centaurus Metals. Roger Fitzhardinge and Volodymyr Myadzel have sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which they are undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Roger Fitzhardinge and Volodymyr Myadzel consent to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
The information in this report that relates to Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Beck Nader, a Competent Person who is a professional Mining Engineer and a Member of Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Beck Nader is the Managing Director of BNA Consultoria e Sistemas Ltda and is a consultant to Centaurus. Beck Nader has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Beck Nader consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
- All information included in this presentation regarding Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve estimates was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. This information has been updated to the JORC 2012 Code for the Jambreiro Mineral Resource. The information in relation to the Jambreiro Ore Reserve has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
All information included in this presentation regarding the Ore Reserve estimate for the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project should be read in conjunction with the ASX announcement dated 5 November 2012. No material change has occurred in any of the conservative pit optimisation parameters used to estimate the Jambreiro Ore Reserve.
- Refer to the ASX announcements dated 20 December 2013 and 13 January 2014 for details of the material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information included in this presentation for the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project. The Company confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information derived from the production target continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The information in relation to the Conquista Iron Ore Project Exploration Target should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. The potential quantity and quality of material discussed as the Conquista Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient work completed to define them as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. It is uncertain if further exploration work will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve for the Conquista Project.
Refer to ASX announcement on 19 March 2015 for further information on the Exploration Target for the Conquista DSO Iron Ore Project.
Refer to the ASX announcement on 5 October 2016 for full details of the Para Exploration Package which includes the Serra Misteriosa Gold Project

19-hole, 3,500m diamond drill program underway
Detailed exploration work has been completed but no drilling up until now Continuous 5.0km long, high-grade gold-in-soils anomaly (+50ppb Au), including +2.0km at +100ppb Au All located within a broader +10km long gold anomaly, up to 300m wide Similar geological and structural characteristics to the 5Moz Volta Grande Gold Project (TSX-Listed Belo Sun Mining Corp)
- “Serra Misteriosa is a robust geological, geochemical and geophysical target for an Intrusion-related gold mineralisation model and drilling is recommended” – Mr Grant “Rocky” Osborne, Independent Geological Consultant

Review confirms excellent data quality with depth of investigation exceeding 250m Several high-priority drill targets identified with target characteristics favourable for higher grade mineralisation Multiple well-defined IP chargeability anomalies (+40mV/V) are repeated on all sections, locally coincident with the continuous high-grade (+100ppb Au) goldin-soils anomaly

The well-defined IP anomalies, coupled with a high-grade (+50 and +100ppb Au) geochemical anomaly that has now been extended over a strike length of 5km, represent excellent, high priority drill targets.

Initial results intersected broad brecciated zones with intense silica alteration (+/- localised carbonate alteration) hosting pyrite and arsenopyrite;
First drilling complete on Section 2000 at eastern limit of main mineralised zone returned:
-
6m at 0.7g/t Au from 84m, including 2m at 1.3 g/t Au in SRM-DD-17-002 ; and
-
20.3m at 0.05g/t Au from 241.7m in SRM-DD-17001;
The intersections, that correlate well on section, indicate a distal occurrence of a large shear-hosted hydrothermal system with the potential to host significant gold mineralisation;
Drilling is now underway on the central sections of the main zone with first results expected mid August.

Centaurus’ recently-acquired Pará EP tenement portfolio has outstanding potential for a new world-class discovery Package includes the Salobo West Project which is only 12km along strike from Vale’s massive Salobo mine in the same geological and magnetic sequence The Salobo mine produced 176kt copper and 317koz gold in 2016 and has at least a 50-year mine life Many other large IOCG deposits located in the region – which forms part of the Government’s SUDAM regional development program which includes significant tax incentives

Explored by Vale since the 1970’s
Vale has controlled 90% of the province for the past 50 years Most of the IOCG’s were discovered in the 1970s and 1980s using conventional mapping and soil geochemistry programs Limited copper-gold exploration expenditure today – “they’ve already found multiple Tier-1 deposits”
Centaurus has secured a unique opportunity in one of the world’s most prospective IOCG provinces, which has been dominated for decades by Vale.

Ongoing geophysical review underway by Alan King, former Chief Geophysicist for Global Exploration at Vale and Inco Mr King lived in Brazil from 2007 to 2011 and has vast experience studying multiple IOCG camps across the globe including the Carajás and Olympic Dam IOCG Provinces Mr King has analysed all historical geophysical and geological data with the objective of prioritising targets as well as planning the Company’s initial airborne geophysical survey work
New airborne survey work is expected to include detailed (100m line spacing) gravity, magnetics and radiometrics surveys as these surveys have been very successful in delineating the Carajás IOCG deposits
Application for the environmental license required for field exploration in the Tapirape-aquiri National Forest has been lodged – approval expected within 3 months
First non-ground disturbing work, including mapping, stream sediment sampling, soil sampling and ground based geophysics, is planned to be underway before the seasonal rain period starts in December
