Re-release of Presentation
Celamin Holdings NL (ASX: CNL or “Celamin”) wishes to notify shareholders of the re-release of the February 2014 Presentation initially released to the market on the 18 February 2014.
The original presentation contained 3 slides (slides 10-12) outlining a production target derived from a conceptual study and associated capital expenditure and cash flow models. This production target currently consists of a combination of Inferred Mineral Resources and Exploration Targets and does not satisfy the requirements for reporting of a production target under ASX Listing Rule 5.15 (a).
Board of Directors
Andrew Thomson, Non-Exec Chairman David Regan, Managing Director
Russell Luxford, Non-Exec Director Martin Broome, Non-Exec Director Gary Scanlan, Non-Exec Director
Company Secretary
Melanie Leydin
Securities on Issue
CNL: 188,671,986 ordinary shares
CNLO: 25,358,026 options expiring 31 March 2014
CNLCA: 14,887,796 partly paid shares
The Company advises that the current presentation has been rereleased in a form that is now compliant with the Listing Rules as the estimates and results of The Scoping Study and the subsequent Inferred JORC resources released are not sufficient to imply economic viability to the standard required by the ASX Listing Rules.
Investors should note that to establish economic viability, the Company will need to define sufficient Indicated Mineral Resources and consider further mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, environmental, legal, governmental and social factors. ASX have previously requested the retraction of the results of the Scoping Study on the basis that they did not meet the Reasonable Basis Requirement to imply economic viability as announced on the 21[st] of August 2012.
Accordingly, the Company retracts the statements made in the Announcement in respect of economic viability, production target and mine life and warns investors against using these statements as a basis for investment decisions in the Company’s securities.
These slides have been removed from the current version of the presentation to ensure compliance with the Listing Rules. The Company recognises the need to improve the level of confidence in the existing Mineral Resources to publically demonstrate the economic viability of the project.
The Company confirms that they have commenced work towards the bankable feasibility study to further evaluate and develop the Chaketma Phosphate Project.

EXPLORATION
-
› Drilling – typically intersecting thick mineralised zones (maximum 42m, average 15.3m)
-
› Depth – mineralisation generally exists at favourable depths and outcrops at surface in places
-
› Grades – generally 20%+
Down-hole Intersections - Kef El Louz
==> picture [384 x 214] intentionally omitted <==
Down-hole intercept data compiled from 43 drill holes which have been previously announced on the ASX between January 2012 and March 2013. All intercepts are fully assayed and the mineralised intervals verified by chemical composition. Drill holes vary between vertical and -75° dip and quoted intercepts are not corrected for true thickness, although the majority intersect bedding at high angles and are considered representative as an approximate gauge of mineralisation thickness.
