Sagay Project permit extension issued
HIGHLIGHTS

·    The Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau has issued an extension
of the Sagay Project's exploration permit.

 
______________________________________________________________________________

Celsius Resources Limited ("Celsius" or "the Company") (ASX, AIM:CLA) is
pleased to announce the extension of the exploration permit for the Sagay
Copper Project ("Sagay" or "Project"), held under its Philippine subsidiary,
Tambuli Mining Company, Inc ("TMCI") located on the Island of Negros in the
Philippines.

The extension of EP-000003-VI was issued on 1 April 2024 and was based on
Section 30 of the Department Administrative Order No. 2010-21 1 , which states
that "the exploration permit shall be deemed automatically extended in case it
expires prior to the approval of the Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility
("DMPF") and until such time that a mineral agreement is approved".

The Sagay Project's DMPF application submitted to the Philippine Mines and
Geosciences Bureau ("MGB") has been accepted and is currently under review.
The approval of said application will consequently allow TMCI to apply for a
mineral agreement with the Philippine Government (see CLA Announcement dated 8
January 2024).

Celsius Resources Executive Chairman, Atty. Julito "Sarge" Sarmiento said:

"We are in the process of completing the Environmental Impact Assessment for
the Sagay Project as the basis for the issuance of an Environmental Compliance
Certificate which is one of the key requirements for the approval of the DMPF.
We are taking every step to ensure that we have comprehensively covered all
potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project with avoidance,
protection and prevention as top of mind approaches, and that any residual
impacts are minimised and managed. Environmental stewardship will always be at
the forefront of our business operations.

As with our Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog project ("MCB Project"), we will continue
to adhere with the Philippine Government's regulatory permitting requirements
to ensure the safe development and operations of the Sagay Project."

The extended term of the exploration permit for Sagay is limited to comply
with the requirements of the DMPF and further updates will be provided to
shareholders as TMCI moves through the approval process.
