Directors The Directors in office at the date of this report and at any time during the half-year are as follows. William Oliver Brendan Borg Ranko Matic Pine van Wyk Non-Executive Chairman Managing Director Non-Executive Director Non-Executive Director (appointed 4 September 2017) PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES During the year, the principal activities of the consolidated entity consisted of mineral exploration and mineral extraction via joint venture arrangements. There were no significant changes in the nature of the activities of the consolidated entity during the year. Review of Operations Corporate The consolidated net loss of the Company after income tax for the six months ended 31 December 2017 amounted to $743,017 (31 December 2016: $282,186). On 29 July 2017 the Company acquired a 30% interest in the Opuwo Cobalt Project, through its wholly owned subsidiary Opuwo Cobalt Pty Ltd (‘OPU’), by acquiring 30% of the shares on issue in Gecko Cobalt Holdings (Pty) Ltd (‘GCH’), which in turn holds 100% of the shares on issue in Gecko Cobalt Mining (Pty) Ltd (‘GCM’). GCM holds the original Opuwo exploration licence and the acquisition included a further three new exploration licences surrounding the original Opuwo licence held. The acquisition was completed upon the confirmation that AUD$500,000 had been spent by the Company on the Opuwo Cobalt Project. On 13 September the Company issued 43,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.04 each (with 50% of the shares voluntarily escrowed for 6 months from the date of issue and the balance voluntarily escrowed for 12 months from the date of issue) as consideration for the completion of acquiring a further 65% of the Opuwo Cobalt Project. An additional AUD$600,000 expenditure by the Company on the Oupwo Cobalt Project up to this acquisition date was included in the cost of the acquisition. On 2 November 2017 the Company completed a placement to institutional and professional investors, issuing 71,636,636 shares to raise $3,940,015. During the period 11,623,936 listed options were exercised, raising $116,239, and 2,000,000 unlisted options were exercised raising $100,000. Also during the period 18,000,000 unlisted options were issued at an exercise price of $0.05, with an expiry date of 18 August 2020, vesting upon various performance hurdles. On 22 November 2017 Melanie Ross was appointed to the position of Company Secretary and Ranko Matic stepped down from this role and has continued on as a non-executive director. Page 2 CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT __________________________________________________________________________________ Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia (Celsius – 95%) Celsius is aiming to define a long life, reliable source of cobalt at Opuwo. The Company considers the Project to have the following advantages:      Large scale. Favourable mineralogy: cobalt and copper sulphide minerals. Low in deleterious elements: notably arsenic, cadmium and uranium. Mining friendly, politically stable and safe location with excellent infrastructure. Cobalt: best exposure to lithium ion battery boom. The Opuwo Cobalt Project is located in northwestern Namibia, approximately 800 km by road from the capital, Windhoek, and approximately 750 km from the port at Walvis Bay. The Project has excellent infrastructure, with the regional capital of Opuwo approximately 30 km to the south, where services such as accommodation, fuel, supplies, and an airport and hospital are available. Good quality bitumen roads connect Opuwo to Windhoek and Walvis Bay. The Ruacana hydro power station (320 MW), which supplies the majority of Namibia’s power, is located nearby, and a 66 kV transmission line passes through the eastern boundary of the Project. The Opuwo Project consists of four Exclusive Prospecting Licences covering approximately 1,470 km 2. (Figure 1) Figure 1: Opuwo Licence and Prospect Map Celsius continued exploration drilling on the Project during the second half, and have identified cobaltcopper-zinc mineralisation over approximately 15 km of strike length to date. In October, 2017, the Page 3 CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT __________________________________________________________________________________ Company embarked on a resource definition drilling campaign, with the aim of delineating a maiden Mineral Resource at the Project. This drilling was completed in December, 2017, and resource modelling and estimation is currently underway. Highlights from the drilling resource drilling results reported to date include:           17 m @ 0.14% cobalt and 0.42% copper 10 m @ 0.13% cobalt and 0.45% copper 10 m @ 0.12% cobalt and 0.59% copper 7.49 m @ 0.14% cobalt and 0.79% copper, including 5 m @ 0.15% cobalt and 1.01% copper 6 m @ 0.15% cobalt and 0.51% copper, including 2 m @ 0.25% cobalt and 0.52% copper 7.7 m @ 0.11% cobalt and 0.52% copper 5 m @ 0.16% cobalt and 0.48% copper 7 m @ 0.11% cobalt and 0.46% copper 6.3 m @ 0.12% cobalt and 0.46% copper 4 m @ 0.18% cobalt and 0.50% copper A Scoping Study for the Project is well advanced, with component work programs continuing. Metallurgical test work has confirmed the simple sulphide mineralogy of the mineralisation at the Project, with up to 88% of the cobalt recoverable using conventional sulphide flotation techniques. Subsequent leach extraction test work has demonstrated that approximately 95% of the cobalt and copper is able to be leached using relatively low temperature and pressure conditions. Further optimisation of the flotation and leach parameters is ongoing. The Company is planning to produce downstream products, namely cobalt sulphate heptahydrate and copper cathodes in Namibia, from the Project. Assuming positive results from the Scoping Study due in May, 2018, the Company plans to embark on an aggressive Pre-Feasibility Study program, commencing in the first half of 2018. Western Australian Nickel Assets Celsius holds an interest in two nickel assets in Western Australia. Celsius (through View Nickel Pty Ltd) has a 100% interest in the Abednegno Hill Nickel Project to the south and west of Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin nickel mine. The tenements are located near to Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin mine and the NiWest operation currently under development by GME Resources Ltd and are believed to have potential for both nickel laterite and nickel sulphide mineralisation. In addition the tenements are located between Leonora and Laverton, west of Dacian Gold’s Mt Morgans Project and east of KIN Mining’s Leonora Gold Project. During the reporting period the Company completed a high resolution aeromagnetic survey and a ground gravity survey across the Abednegno Hill Project. As well as providing data on targets identified by historical exploration a number of previously unrecognised targets were identified. While both gold and nickel targets were identified in exploration to date the Company has determined to focus on targets prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation. A high powered ground electromagnetic (EM) survey was completed during October – November 2017. A broad bedrock conductor was delineated in the centre of E39/1684, parallel to a known ultramafic unit and the regional stratigraphy. The area is covered by recent cover including a creek system and therefore the geological setting for this conductor is unknown. A smaller, local anomaly was identified in the west of the tenement area. This lies in the centre of the Corkscrew Anticline, where thickening of the Page 4 CELSIUS RESOURCES LIMITED DIRECTORS’ REPORT __________________________________________________________________________________ known ultramafic units may have occurred. Follow up field work is planned and drill testing of this anomaly may be required. Additionally the Company owns a 30% joint venture interest in the Carnilya Hill Joint Venture in Western Australia with Mincor Resources NL (Joint Venture). Mincor Resources NL (Mincor, ASX:MCR) is the operator of the Carnilya Hill JV. The tenements covered by the Camilya Hill Joint Venture (JV) include Mining Licences M26/47, M26/48, M26/49 and M26/453. Mincor has not advised the Company of any material results from exploration at the Carnilya Hill Project during the year. While the Carnilya Hill Project has several areas which could be of interest at higher nickel prices, the prices making these prospects viable are far above the prevailing price therefore Celsius has elected not to contribute to cash calls for the current period and dilute accordingly. Events Subsequent to Reporting Date During the period subsequent to the half-year end, 3,759,127 options were exercised at a price of $0.01 per share. The Company has also issued 26,500,000 unlisted options to various consultants and service providers with exercise prices of between $0.075 and $0.225 expiring within a two to three year time period from the date of issue. All the unlisted options issued will vest upon the achievement of various performance hurdles. Other than the above, no other matters or circumstances have arisen since the end of the half-year which significantly affected or may significantly affect the operations of the consolidated entity, the results of those operations or the state of affairs of the consolidated entity in subsequent financial years. Auditor’s Independence Declaration The lead auditor’s independence declaration under section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 is included within this half-year financial report. This directors’ report is signed in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors.

EXPLORATION AND EVALUATION EXPENDITURE Expenditure brought forward at the beginning of the period Acquisition expenditure during the period (i) Incurred expenditure during the period Expenditure carried forward at the end of the period 31 December 2017 30 June 2017 1,519,172 2,850,000 2,265,061 6,634,233 163,757 277,778 1,077,637 1,519,172 Recoverability of the carrying amount of exploration assets is dependent on the successful exploration and sale of the mineral resource. (i) On 29 July 2017 the Company acquired a 30% interest in the Opuwo Cobalt Project, through its wholly owned subsidiary Opuwo Cobalt Pty Ltd (‘OPU’), by acquiring 30% of the shares on issue in Gecko Cobalt Holdings (Pty) Ltd (‘GCH’), which in turn holds 100% of the shares on issue in Gecko Cobalt Mining (Pty) Ltd (‘GCM’). GCM holds the original Opuwo exploration licence and the acquisition included a further three new exploration licences surrounding the original Opuwo licence held. The acquisition was completed upon the confirmation that AUD$500,000 had been spent by the Company on the Opuwo Cobalt Project. On 13 September 2017 as consideration for acquiring a further 65% of the Opuwo Cobalt Project the Company issued 43,750,000 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.04 each at an aggregate value of $1,750,000. An additional AUD$600,000 expenditure by the Company on the Oupwo Cobalt Project up to this acquisition date was included in the cost of the acquisition. Management has determined that the acquisition of 95% interest in the Opuwo Cobalt Project does not meet the definition of a business within AASB 3 Business Combinations and has accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition within AASB 6 Exploration and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. 4.
