Quarterly Activity & Cashflow Reports for Quarter ending 30 September 2021
Summary:
-
CELAMIN WINS OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF CHAKETMA PHOSPHATE PROJECT
-
TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMENCED
-
TRANSITION TO TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT UNDERWAY AND COUNTRY MANAGER APPOINTED
-
CELAMIN HOLDINGS LIMITED TO BECOME PHOSCO LTD
Celamin Holdings Limited (ASX: CNL ) (“ Celamin ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to present details of its activities for the September 2021 Quarter. Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, Celamin announced that it had assumed operational and management control over Chaketma Phosphate SA ( CPSA ), holder of the Chaketma Phosphate Project as a 50.99% shareholder of CPSA. As a result, technical work has begun, and Donald Thomson was appointed as Country Manager.
Chaketma is a potential large-scale, world-class phosphate development asset, which comprises six prospects over a total area of 56km[2] . It hosts a total JORC compliant Inferred Resource of 130Mt @ 20.5% P₂O₅[1] , 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 immediately commenced a process to complete legal and accounting due diligence on CPSA. The financial state of CPSA and the status of CPSA’s equity needs to be determined, and Celamin will also consider criminal action against TMS and the executives or advisors of CPSA if any irregularities are uncovered during this process. TMS owes Celamin US$4.9M in costs and damages, plus interest calculated daily, and Celamin is actively pursuing TMS for the payment of this amount. 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.

Figure 1: Location of the Chaketma Phosphate Project
Initial technical work will involve a review and assessment of all historical work with the shortterm objective of updating the JORC Resources at the project. In conjunction with this, critical steps including the clarification of the financial state of CPSA and the status of the CPSA equity are ongoing, with the potential for additional claims against TMS and its associates in relation to their management of CPSA.
With operational control of CPSA, Celamin has the right to access all Chaketma technical data. At the time of the dispute Chaketma had an Inferred JORC Resource of 130Mt @ 20.5% P2O5[2] . Celamin has identified reputable consultants to conduct a GAP Analysis on the available data to

determine the work required to complete a feasibility study at Chaketma. This will also include a review of the Chaketma Resource with recommendations on updating it under JORC 2012. Further drilling has taken place since the Inferred JORC Resource was defined, and a project update is targeted shortly.
With the continued progress, Celamin announced that it had engaged geologist Donald Thomson as Country Manager. Donald will initially work for Celamin on a consulting basis but will move to become resident in Tunis once safe travel from Australia is possible. Donald has more than 35 years of experience as a geologist of which 20 years have been in senior management roles and has worked for companies including Newcrest, Johnsons Well Mining and Legend Mining. Donald has also previously worked for Celamin as Country Manager in 2011-2012 and was instrumental in the first phase of drilling at Chaketma. He is ideally suited to assist with Celamin restarting operations and leading the project team in Tunisia. Donald is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and qualifies as a Competent Person under the JORC Code.
With Donald’s appointment, Tim Markwell has stepped down as Interim CEO.
Phosphate Market Update
Phosphate is a critical fertilizer that underpins the world’s food supply. Celamin’s control of the Chaketma Phosphate Project comes at an exciting time as the price of rock phosphate has risen substantially, from US$80/t several months ago to over US$147/t today. According to studies, the continued supply of phosphate fertilisers that underpin global food production is an imminent crisis with some regions including the European Union declaring phosphate a critical strategic commodity.

Management Transition
In addition to Donald’s appointment, Celamin also announced during the quarter that it is transitioning its executive team, with Celamin’s Managing Director Mr Simon Eley 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 Eley’s salary was reduced by 50% to be taken entirely in shares, subject to shareholder approval. Any additional time worked above 2.5 days will be paid at a rate of A$1,000/day.
Mr Craig Smyth was also 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.
Mr Smyth will be paid a rate of $1,000/day for time worked in his role as interim CFO, with a monthly limit of $10,000. His 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. All fees that are paid through the Services Agreement are on an arm’s length basis.
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 during the quarter 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.
Celamin Holdings Limited to become PhosCo Ltd
On 14 October 2021, the Company announced that it proposes to change its name to PhosCo Ltd in recognition of its future direction and restarting work at the Chaketma Phosphate Project in Tunisia. This is an important decision and requires a Special Resolution with at least 75% of shareholders voting in favour. This will be voted on at the Company’s 2021 Annual General Meeting.
Celamin’s directors believe that PhosCo more clearly represents the Company’s vision to become a significant phosphate producer and embrace a “Green Shift” towards future fertiliser production. Chaketma is a potential large scale phosphate development asset which could be complemented by resource growth from the existing deposit and with additional nearby deposits. This would offer the ability to progress from rock phosphate production, with possible direct application phosphate, through to fully integrated fertiliser production.

orders remain before the courts, including clarification of the financial state of CPSA and will include status of the CPSA equity. CPSA applied to convert the Chaketma Exploration Permit to a Mining Concession in late 2017, ahead of the February 2018 deadline. As at the date of this report, the Chaketma mining concession had not been granted, and application remains under consideration by the Tunisian regulatory authorities. The Chaketma Exploration Permit remains valid and in good standing whilst the application is being considered by the Tunisian regulatory authorities.
