Focused on developing the advanced Jaguar Nickel Sulphide Project
Globally Significant Maiden JORC Indicated and Inferred MRE of 48.0Mt at 1.08% Ni for 517,500 tonnes of nickel metal
– 80% of nickel tonnes within 200 metres of surface High Grade JORC MRE of 20.6Mt at 1.56% Ni for 321,400 tonnes of nickel metal
Resource open at depth, multiple growth opportunities from resource extensional drilling and new discoveries – 4 diamond rigs and 1 RC rig now on site
75,000m to be drilled over next 15 months
Project is in the world class Carajás Mineral Province – home to Vale, extensive regional mining infrastructure and some of the largest mineral deposits globally
Scoping Study advancing well – on track for Q1 2021

Nickel – The Looming EV Revolution
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
Current nickel market size ~2.5Mt
Nickel demand for batteries growing strongly (more than 4X in six years to 2018) but from a low base – still only 145,000t or 6% of market
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
Depending on the scenario for the EV rate of adoption, nickel volumes to meet this additional demand vary between 750,000 tonnes and 2 million tonnes
==> picture [15 x 15] intentionally omitted <==
Nickel demand from EV will far exceed nickel production from existing operations in any scenario of EV adoption
Where is the new supply going to come from?
EV nickel demand requires Class-1 nickel provided by sulphide and HPAL projects, rather than NPI which targets stainless steel production.

The Carajás is one of the world’s most prolific mining regions – effective industrial zone of Brazil
Extensive infrastructure to support project development
10 IOCG deposits with resources of +100Mt Cu-Au for +4.0Bt of Cu-Au resources,
including Vale’s giant Salobo Mine which hosts Reserves of 1.2Bt @ 0.61% Cu, 0.3g/t Au
Hosts the largest high-grade iron ore deposits on the planet, plus multiple large nickel laterite mines and deposits AND NOW
Hosts one of the largest near-surface undeveloped nickel sulphide resources globally – the Jaguar Nickel Project
The Carajás contains one of the world’s largest known concentrations of large-tonnage mineral deposits7

Jaguar Project – Scoping Study Well Advanced
The Scoping Study aims to demonstrate that, subject to further development work, Centaurus is well placed to deliver on its aspirations to be a clean and efficient 20,000 plus tonne per annum nickel producer by the end of 2024 to assist in the global transition to electrification and to meet anticipated surging demand for key battery metals.
Base Case
Value-Add Case
==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [13 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Base Case is production of high-grade nickel concentrate using traditional nickel flotation process
Scoping Study (SS) progressing well with Entech and DRA Global supporting SS activities.
To be underpinned by JORC Resource up-grade
==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
SS to consider value-adding opportunities including Pressure Oxidation to produce nickel metal or nickel sulphate
Initial POx testing at ALS has delivered excellent results with extractions of nickel, copper and cobalt all exceeding 99%
Fiscal Benefits
==> picture [13 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [13 x 14] intentionally omitted <==
Income Tax Rate of 15% for first 10 years likely to be available to the Company, once the project is operational
Power costs in Brazil are low, with Centaurus likely to be able to source power for less than US$0.10/kWh
==> picture [13 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
Key drivers to POx viability is being located in Brazil and with this:-
-
Access to low cost energy
-
Access to clean energy (+ 80% renewables)
-
Relatively low-cost skilled labour market
-
Access to low-cost residue neutralization material
-
Availability of high quality fresh water

Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork
Flotation tests deliver +80% nickel recoveries from Jaguar South and Onça Preta ore. Jaguar Central and North testing has commenced. Quality +16% nickel concentrate , with high Fe:MgO (~5.5:1) and low arsenic – highly desirable marketable characteristics Using traditional “Western Australian” nickel flowsheet and reagents An increase of 25% on historical results* , due to changes in feed head grade, grind sizes and reagent selection Metallurgical test work continuing at ALS Metallurgy in Perth; new samples recently received from Jag Central and North for testing
+80% nickel recoveries – quality +16% nickel concentrate
- See ASX Announcement of 31 March 2020 for further details of the preliminary metallurgical testwork and results

Centaurus – Key Investment Takeaways
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
Nickel sulphide focus – high-grade nickel sulphide asset with flexible development options leveraged to strong long-term nickel market outlook
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
Favourable project location – Carajás Mineral Province
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
Globally Significant Maiden JORC MRE – 48.0Mt at 1.08% Ni for 517,500t of contained nickel including high grade MRE of 20.6Mt at 1.56% Ni for 321,400t of contained nickel 80% of MRE is within 200 metres of surface

==> picture [16 x 16] intentionally omitted <==
– Resource growth and development – deposits open at depth and along strike strong potential to increase MRE with further drilling; in-fill and step-out drilling underway Greenfields growth – Multiple prospects with walk up drill targets; drilling set to commence
