Celsius receives renewal of Exclusive Prospecting License for Opuwo Project

HIGHLIGHTS

· Exclusive prospecting license renewed for 2 years for Opuwo

_______________________________________________________________________________

Celsius Resources Limited ("CLA" or "Celsius") (ASX, AIM: CLA) is pleased to announce that it has received the renewal of the exclusive prospecting license for the Opuwo Cobalt Project ("Opuwo") which is held under its Namibian subsidiary, Opuwo Cobalt Holdings (Pty) Ltd.

The Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy issued the 2 year renewal of the exclusive prospecting license for EPL 4346 on 11 October 2023, which covers approximately 683 km2. This will enable Celsius to further evaluate the project's viability with a view to finding a suitable partner.

Ongoing trade-off studies on mining costs, production rates and the possibility of processing oxide ores are being conducted to determine the viability and financial outcomes.

Celsius Managing Director, Peter Hume, said:

"This is a positive development as we are currently reviewing the Opuwo Project to understand how we can strategically unlock its potential value given the high demand for Cobalt from the electric vehicles sector. This project can potentially produce non-conflict Cobalt in a politically stable country for more than 40 years. With the renewal of the permit and recent positive metallurgical test work results, we anticipate this will attract potential partners in the project."

OPUWO COBALT-COPPER PROJECT

The Opuwo Cobalt-Copper Project is located about 730km north-west of the Namibian capital city, Windhoek.

The project is of a very large scale and located in a mining-friendly, politically stable, and safe location with excellent infrastructure. It has ample access to grid power, water, and services allowing a range of development options.

Aligned with Celsius' strategy of continuing to identify and develop world-class, high-grade assets, Opuwo represents significant potential.

The updated Mineral Resource Estimate as announced by CLA on 1 July 2021 was based on all drilling completed by Celsius at Opuwo, and comprises 225.5 million tonnes at a grade of 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper, and 0.54% zinc.

The Mineral Resource Estimate represents contained cobalt of 259,000 tonnes and contained copper of 970,000 tonnes and is classified as:

§ 45.3 million tonnes at a grade of 0.11% cobalt, 0.44% copper and 0.51% zinc in the Indicated category;

§ 180.2 million tonnes at a grade of 0.12% cobalt, 0.43% copper and 0.55% zinc in the Inferred category[1].
