A New Era of Nickel Sulphide Demand The looming clean energy revolution

• 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

• 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

• Nickel demand from EVs will far exceed nickel production from existing operations in any EV scenario

WHERE IS THE NEW SUPPLY COMING FROM? EVs require Class-1 nickel provided by sulphide and HPAL projects, rather than NPI which targets stainless steel production

Centaurus Metals Our vision

==> picture [335 x 309] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [43 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

Underpinned by a high-quality asset at Jaguar, we are well placed to deliver on our aspiration 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.

Brazil’s Carajás Mineral Province Outstanding infrastructure and logistics in a Tier-1 mining province

==> picture [552 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [309 x 423] intentionally omitted <==

• 40km north of regional mining centres of Tucumã and Ourilândia do Norte (population ~70,000) – mining towns with strong skilled workforce in the prolific Carajás Mineral Province of northern Brazil

• High-Voltage (138kV) grid power to be accessed from Tucumã sub-station – 80% of power generation in Brazil is from renewables (mainly hydro) resulting in low cost, clean power (less than US$0.10/kWh)

Jaguar Project Development Scoping Study in progress

80% nickel recoveries

==> picture [43 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

+16% nickel concentrate with high Fe:MgO and low arsenic

Scoping Study due Q1 2021

• Study being progressed with support of industryleading consulting groups Entech and DRA Global

• Flotation tests deliver 80% nickel recoveries* from –

• Jaguar South and Onça Preta ore Jaguar Central and North testing underway.

• Base case is for the production of high quality nickel concentrate using conventional nickel flotation process

Significant Fiscal Benefits

• Income Tax Rate of 15% for the 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 [438 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

The Base Case development pathway for Jaguar is based on the construction of a Concentrator with low capital intensity using conventional nickel flotation to produce a high-grade concentrate.

• See ASX Announcement of 31 March 2020 for further details of the preliminary metallurgical testwork and results

Jaguar Project – Value-Add Case Scoping Study In Progress

Value-adding opportunities

• Scoping Study to consider value-adding opportunities including Pressure Oxidation (POx) 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%

• Key economic drivers to the viability of the POx valueadding route are the Project’s location in north-eastern Brazil, which means:

• Access to low-cost, clean energy (+80% renewables)

• Relatively low-cost skilled labour market

• Access to low-cost residue neutralisation material

• Availability of high-quality fresh water

12

Jaguar Project Environmental licensing underway

Fast-tracking Approvals

• Initial drilling licence secured through to October 2022

• Significant amount of environmental data historically collected by Vale for use by CTM in approval process

• Terms of reference received from SEMAS for main environmental study (EIA/RIMA)

• 100% of wet and dry season data collected for use in EIA/RIMA work

• Majority of the project footprint already disturbed (pasture land)

• Partnership in place with municipality to upgrade roads

• Strong community support for the project

• Target date to lodge EIA/RIMA – Q2 2021
