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.
