Quarterly Activity & Cashflow Reports for Quarter ending
30 June 2021
Summary:
- Process to transition to technical management underway
- Reviewing new opportunities
- Progress during quarter impacted by COVID-19
Celamin Holdings Limited (ASX: CNL) ("Celamin" or the "Company") is pleased to present details of its activities for the June 2021 Quarter. During the Quarter the Company continued preparation for the commencement of a GAP Analysis at the Chaketma Phosphate Project in Tunisia ("Chaketma") to assess the work program required to complete a feasibility study, although progress has been impacted by COVID-19 lockdown measures both in Australia and Tunisia.
Chaketma is a potential large-scale, world class phosphate development asset, which comprises six prospects over a total area of 56km2 . It hosts a total JORC compliant Inferred Resource of 130Mt @ 20.5% P₂O₅1 , confirmed from drilling at only two of the project's six prospects with access by road, and proximal to rail and gas pipelines (see Figure 1).
Celamin has achieved success with the court processes to recover its interest in CPSA, the holder of the Chaketma Phosphate Project. Final steps to restore the Company's interest in CPSA including Celamin's control of CPSA are underway, albeit hampered by the impact of COVID-19 on the Tunisian courts and administrative functions. Tunisian Mining Services (TMS), the entity that committed the fraudulent transfer of Celamin's shares in CPSA, has repeatedly failed to comply with its legal obligations, obstructing development of Chaketma.

Figure 1: Location of the Chaketma Phosphate Project
TMS owes Celamin US$4.9M in costs and damages, which accrues daily. Celamin will continue to enforce its rights pursuant to court orders as well as force the sale of TMS assets to recover funds to offset the damages and costs owed.
Notwithstanding the continued illegal conduct of TMS, Celamin is committed to investing in Chaketma due to the considerable benefits that the country and all stakeholders will derive from a project of this size and nature.
Management Transition
Celamin is planning to advance the Chaketma Phosphate Project upon finally resolving the dispute with TMS, including delivering a Feasibility Study.
In keeping with the increasing technical focus of the Company, Celamin is transitioning its executive team, including key capabilities for project development. As part of this strategic transition, Alternative Director Mr Tim Markwell has become interim Chief Executive Officer responsible for technical work and helping recruit a technical team. Celamin's Managing Director Mr Simon Eley's salary will be commensurately reduced by 50% and taken entirely as shares, subject to shareholder approval. Any additional time worked above 2.5 days will be paid at a rate of A$1,000/day. His duties as Managing Director will be focussed on final enforcement of Celamin's arbitration success and resolution of the dispute with TMS to advance Chaketma, something he has been instrumental in achieving since his initial appointment in July 2018.
Mr Markwell is a geologist with 25 years+ experience. It is envisaged that the Company will seek to appoint a full-time CEO in due course upon the return to active feasibility work at the Chaketma Phosphate Project and exploration on Celamin's base metals projects.
Mr Craig Smyth has been appointed interim CFO during the transition period and will assist the Company with financial reporting and long-term business and financial planning. Mr Smyth is a chartered accountant with 25+ years' experience having previously worked for Coopers and Lybrand, ANZ Investment Bank and Credit Suisse First Boston. Mr Smyth has been with Lion Selection since 2005.
Both Mr Markwell and Mr Smyth will each be paid a rate of $1,000/day for time worked in their roles as interim CEO and interim CFO respectively, with a monthly limit of $10,000 each. Their fees for services provided will be settled through Lion Manager Pty Ltd ('Lion Manager') pursuant to the Services Agreement between the Company and Lion Manager, noting that Lion Manager is a substantial shareholder of the Company. All fees that are paid through the Services Agreement are on an arm's length basis.
Mr Widdup, Mr Markwell and Mr Smyth are Directors of Lion Manager, and Mr Widdup and Mr Smyth have a relevant interest in Lion Manager. For the avoidance of doubt Lion Manager is a Director-related entity of Mr Widdup and Mr Markwell.
Currently all Directors and executive management are accruing pay to be taken in Celamin shares subject to Celamin shareholder approval.
Change in Company Secretary
The Company has also announced that specialist Company Secretarial, Governance and Accounting firm, Leydin Freyer, continues to undertake the Company Secretarial role noting that Ms Melanie Leydin has stepped down as appointed Company Secretary and Mr Stefan Ross appointed in the office holder position as Company Secretary. Ms Leydin will continue to support the Company via Leydin Freyer.
Mr Ross has over 10 years of experience in accounting and secretarial services for ASX Listed companies. His extensive experience includes ASX compliance, corporate governance control and implementation, statutory financial reporting and board and secretarial support.
New Opportunities Being Assessed
While the Chaketma Phosphate Project remains the focus for Celamin, the Company has been approached regarding several new opportunities which are currently being assessed. Currently all opportunities are confidential, early stage and incomplete.
Corporate update
Celamin held cash and cash equivalents of approximately A$0.6m at the end of the June 2021 quarter.
Payments to related parties and their associates during the quarter as outlined in Section 6 of the accompanying Appendix 5B to this quarterly activity report were $46,000. These payments are related to Director salaries and consulting fees paid to directors and to their related entities during the June 2021 quarter.
This announcement is authorised for release to the market by the Board of Directors of Celamin Holdings Limited.

Lists of Tenements Held
* The Chaketma Phosphate Permit is 100% held by CPSA. On 13 November 2020, Celamin announced that it had recovered its interest in CPSA following the transfer by the court appointed expert as outlined in the arbitration award returning Celamin's interest in Chaketma and payment of damages and costs amongst other matters.
Notwithstanding the above, the Director General of CPSA is yet to officially recognise the transfer on the company files as required by the Company Code in Tunisia. Until this is completed, Celamin is unable to exercise its rights as a majority shareholder, namely to access company information, call a shareholder meeting or subsequently appoint board members.
