Review of operations

 

The loss for the consolidated entity after providing for income tax and
non-controlling interest amounted to $2,173,284 (31 December 2024:
$7,359,463).

Makilala Mining Company, Inc. ("MMCI"), an affiliate of Celsius in the
Philippines, is nearing completion of the Front-End Engineering Design and
Definitive Feasibility Study("DFS") to support the development of its flagship
Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project ("MCB Project") in the Cordillera
Administrative Region.

With more than 90 percent of deliverables finalized, major
components-including mine design, process plant layout, and surface
infrastructure planning-are already in place.

Supporting this progress is the completion of the Geotechnical and
Hydrogeological drilling program which produced a comprehensive dataset
critical to design optimization. Hydrogeological investigations also provided
critical insights into rock mass permeability, groundwater conditions, and
hydraulic conductivity which are essential for slope stability, groundwater
management, and preliminary infrastructure design.

Significant milestone was also achieved with the release of the JORC-Compliant
2025 Mineral Resource Estimate and Maiden Ore Reserve Statement. The 2025 MRE
reflects an increase of 5 Mt bringing the global resource to 343 Mt @ 0.46%
copper and 0.12 g/t gold. This equates to 1.6 Mt of contained copper and 1.4
Moz of contained gold, reported at a preferred lower cutoff grade of 0.2%
copper. The updated MRE has substantially improved confidence in the resource
base. Strengthening of the Measured category confirmed the continuity of
copper mineralisation, while refined boundaries of mineralised zones provided
a clearer picture of higher-grade domains. Additional diamond drilling
delineated shallow high-grade copper mineralisation, enhancing grade
distribution at higher cutoff grades.

The underground Ore Reserve totals 130.2 million tonnes at 0.66% copper and
0.21 g/t gold, containing 856,000 tonnes of copper and 891,000 ounces of gold
at a copper equivalent grade of 0.84%. This reserve now forms the basis of the
mine plan and underpins financing discussions with potential partners and
institutions.

Metallurgical testwork has reinforced confidence in the MCB Project, with
recent drilling confirming consistent high-grade copper mineralisation beyond
resource model expectations. These results validate the robustness of the
deposit and support ongoing assessments. Studies further show the project can
reliably produce high-quality copper and gold concentrates, strengthening its
technical and economic foundations.

Together, the updated Mineral Resource Estimate, Maiden Ore Reserve, and
metallurgical results provide a solid technical and economic foundation for
mine development, financing, and long-term operations.

As part of preparations for early works and construction, MMCI advanced key
regulatory processes to ensure compliance and operational readiness.

The National Water Resources Board (NWRB) granted MMCI a conditional water
permit, authorizing the initiation of water use activities essential for
project operations. Compliance obligations include installing calibrated water
measuring devices and submitting quarterly utilization reports. These measures
allow the NWRB to validate withdrawals, assess sustainability, and safeguard
community water rights. Transition to a permanent permit will depend on MMCI's
continued adherence to these requirements.

For land preparation, MMCI has formally submitted its application for a
Tree-Cutting Permit to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR). The submission package includes site plans, environmental impact
assessments, and compliance documentation, demonstrating adherence to
regulatory standards. This process is aligned with the finalized mine design
and layout, identifying specific zones where tree removal may be necessary for
infrastructure. Coordination with DENR officials is ongoing to facilitate
review and ensure timely issuance of the permit in line with project
schedules.

To streamline construction permitting, MMCI developed a draft Memorandum of
Agreement and Implementation Plan. Consultations with the Local Government
Unit of Pasil are scheduled to refine provisions and formalize the agreement,
ensuring transparency and efficiency in the permitting process.

In parallel with technical studies, MMCI has continued to strengthen its
partnership with the host community through a series of strategic social and
economic initiatives that build local capacity and promote sustainable
development. These interventions are anchored on transparency, inclusivity,
and long-term impact.

Regular stakeholder meetings ensure open communication, collaborative
decision-making, and accountability in project implementation. Skills training
and workforce development programs, delivered in partnership with TESDA and
local providers, enhance employability while supporting community
infrastructure projects. Educational assistance and scholarships expand the
local talent pool, cultivating future professionals-including Mining
Engineering scholars-who can contribute to the industry and regional growth.

Complementing these efforts, MMCI has also provided healthcare services to
address immediate needs and strengthen community resilience. Together, these
initiatives reinforce trust, empower individuals, and weave social
responsibility into the fabric of project development, ensuring that the
benefits of the MCB Copper-Gold Project extend meaningfully to its host
community.

 

Botilao Copper-Gold Prospect, Philippines

MMCI is actively progressing the renewal of its tenement permit, a critical
regulatory requirement to sustain exploration and development activities at
the MCB Copper-Gold Project. The renewal process involves the preparation and
submission of comprehensive work programs that cover Exploration,
Environmental Management, and Community Development.

 

Sagay Copper-Gold Project, Philippines

Tambuli Mining Company, Inc. ("TMCI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Celsius in
the Philippines, continues to comply with the key requirements for the
approval of its Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility ("DMPF")
application.

 

Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia

Several parties have expressed interest in acquiring this Project and are
continuing with their due diligence. As of the date of this report, no binding
agreement has been reached and, although discussions are continuing, there can
be no certainty that any binding agreement will be reached or the timing of
any such agreement.

The Opuwo tenement permit EL4346 is due for renewal. The Company has lodged
the necessary documentation to have the permit renewed with the Ministry of
Mines. The tenement remains active until such time that it is renewed by the
Ministry of Mines and the Company is continuing discussions on the renewal
process with the Namibian authorities.

Cullarin West Project, Australia

The Company is in the process of relinquishing its interest in this project.
No development activities were conducted during the half year ended 31
December 2025.

Notes to the financial statements

 

 

Note 1. Material Accounting Policies

 

The half-year financial report is a general purpose financial report prepared
in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and AASB 134 'Interim Financial
Reporting'. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International
Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

 

The half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type
normally included in an annual financial report. It is recommended that this
half-year financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial
report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and any public announcements made by
Celsius Resources Limited during the half-year in accordance with continuous
disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation
of the half-year financial report are consistent with those adopted in the
annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2025.

 

Going concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis that
contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation
of assets and extinguishment of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business.

 

As disclosed in the financial statements, the Group incurred a loss for the
half-year of $2,173,284 and had net cash out-flows from operating activities
of $2,142,711 and from investing activities of $9,159,687 for the half-year
ended 31 December 2025.

 

These factors indicate a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt
as to whether the consolidated entity will continue as a going concern and
therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in
the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial
report.

 

The Directors believe that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the
consolidated entity will be able to continue as a going concern, after
consideration of the following factors:

·      Throughout the second half of 2025 and as per the terms of the
First OLSA between MMCI and MIC, drawdown of funds has been transferred to
continue the Feasibility Study update and FEED programs. A total of US$7.5
million has been transferred into MMCI up to 31 December 2025;

·      Completion of a capital raising in February 2026 achieving AUD
9.3 million before costs (Net AUD 8.7 million);

·      The Group's ability to reduce expenditure as and when required
including, but not limited to, reviewing all expenditure for deferral or
elimination, until the Group has sufficient funds; and

·      Ability of the Group to raise further funds through subsequent
capital raisings as evidenced during the current financial year.

 

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the consolidated entity will be able
to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going
concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

 

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts
or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if
the consolidated entity does not continue as a going concern.

 

Note 2. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

 

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the
financial statements based on historical knowledge and best available current
information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and
are based on current trends and economic data, obtained both externally and
within the consolidated entity.

 

There have been no judgements, apart from those involving estimation, in
applying accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts
recognised in these financial statements.

 

Following is a summary of the key assumptions concerning the future and other
key sources of estimation at reporting date that have not been disclosed
elsewhere in these financial statements:

 

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

 

Exploration and evaluation costs have been capitalised on the basis that
activities in the area have not yet reached a stage that permits reasonable
assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves. Key
judgements are applied in considering costs to be capitalised which includes
determining expenditures directly related to these activities and allocating
overheads between those that are expensed and capitalised.

 

Share based payment transactions

 

The consolidated entity measures the cost of equity-settled transactions by
reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which
they are granted. The fair value is determined by using an appropriate
valuation model taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the
instruments were granted. The accounting estimates and assumptions relating to
equity-settled share-based payments would have no impact on the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next annual reporting period but
may impact profit or loss and equity.

 

New and Revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations

 

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting
Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards
Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or
amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory
have not been early adopted.

 

Note 3. Segment information

 

The consolidated entity operates within two geographical segments within the
mineral exploration and extraction industry, being Australia, Namibia and
Philippines. The segment information provided to the chief operating decision
maker is as follows:

During the 2024 reporting period, the board has decided to reclassify the
Opuwo Cobalt Group, View Nickel Pty and Cullarin Metals Pty to Assets Held for
Sale. As part of this reclassification, the board impaired the capitalised
exploration costs up to 30 June 2024.

Since this date, the Directors have received a number of non-binding offers
from various parties. All of the offers are contingent on the successful
renewal of the underlying tenement from the Namibian Government. An
application by Celsius for the renewal of its exclusive prospecting licence
has been submitted in accordance with the Namibian Minerals (Prospecting and
Mining) Act, 1992 and does not expire until such application is refused,
withdrawn or lapsed.

In February 2025 the Company's Philippine affiliated company (formerly
subsidiary), Makilala Mining Company, Inc. ("MMCI") entered into a Binding
Term Sheet for a bridge loan facility ("Facility") to fully finance the
updating of the Company's Feasibility Study and Front-End Engineering Design
("FEED"), and to partially finance the development and operations of the
Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project ("MCB") Project; and to maintain
regulatory compliance of the MCB Project.

The binding term sheet Facility is for up to USD 76.4 million, of which US$10
million was made available under the First Omnibus Loan and Security Agreement
("First OLSA"), of which USD 7.5 million was drawn down as of 31 December
2025.

Interest is compounded quarterly and added to the principal amount, payable on
maturity date at a fixed interest rate of 12.5%, compounded quarterly. The
loan is a United States dollar denominated loan which is carried at amortised
cost.

The availability period under the First OLSA is nine (9) months from signing
which can be extended by mutual agreement, with funding tied to the
satisfactory completion of the FEED and updated Study. The availability period
for the balance under the facility of USD 66.4 million is subject to
satisfactory completion of the FEED and updated Feasibility Study, up to 24
months from signing. The tenor for the entire Facility covering the OLSAs is
three (3) years, and the maturity date is three (3) years after the first
drawdown under the Second OLSA, which is yet to be signed.

The Facility is secured by a Real Estate Mortgage on MMCI's mining rights and
Project-related property; a security interest in collateral, moveable assets
and project documents; Share Collateral on shares of the Company's
wholly-owned Philippine subsidiary Makilala Holding Limited and Sodor, Inc. in
MMCI; Control over the Project's financial accounts; and Corporate Suretyship
from Celsius Resources Limited for 40% of the Facility Amount.

The Company has USD 2.5 million undrawn under the First OLSA available at 31
December 2025.
