Projects
Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog Copper-Gold Project ("MCB Project" OR THE "PROJECT"), Philippines
The Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the MCB Project, owned by Makilala Mining Company, Inc. ("MMCI"), Celsius' affiliate company in the Philippines, was announced in January 2026[1][2].
The DFS confirmed a technically and economically enhanced MCB Project. It was completed to a Class 3 level of estimate accuracy (typically up to ±15%), consistent with industry standards and suitable for project financing and execution purposes. The DFS follows a Scoping Study announced in December 2021[3].
Key outcomes from the DFS included:
- Maiden JORC 2012 Compliant Ore Reserves estimate of 130.2Mt at an average copper grade of 0.66% and a gold grade of 0.21g/t, which supports a 35-year mine life;
- Optimisation of the sub-level open stoping underground mine plan with paste backfill;
- Decline with truck haulage used for initial access and early production during the first three years, before transitioning to a vertical shaft and hoisting system as the mine deepens to improve haulage efficiency, reduce operating costs, and support higher production rates over the long term;
- Identification of cost efficiencies across mining, processing, tailings management, power supply and associated infrastructure;
- Additional geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations were undertaken to refine design inputs, reduce technical uncertainty, reduce cost and support the Project's development pathway
Commenting on the DFS, Celsius Executive Director, Neil Grimes said:
"The MCB Definitive Feasibility Study marks a significant milestone, positioning the MCB Project as a leading near-term copper-gold development opportunity in the Philippines. The Study demonstrates a technically robust and economically enhanced project, with competitive capital intensity and operating costs. The Company is progressing funding and offtake discussions to advance the Project toward a Final Investment Decision and construction."
Key technical and financial DFS outcomes are set out in the table below.
Summary of Key Technical and Financial Outcomes
| ITEM | FIRST 10 YEARS | LIFE OF MINE |
| Ore Mined | 24.5 MT | 89.7 MT |
| Copper Grade | 1.08% | 0.69% |
| Gold Grade | 0.51 g/t | 0.24 g/t |
| Copper Recovery | 92.5% | 89.7% |
| Gold Recovery | 79.7% | 72.6% |
| Mine Life | 10 Years | 35.3 Years |
| Process Plant Throughput | 2.64 MTPA | 2.64 MTPA |
| Average Annual Cu Concentrate Production (dry) | 102.5 kt | 66.0 kt |
| Total Copper Recovered | 542 Mlbs | 1,234 Mlbs |
| Total Gold Recovered | 319 koz | 507 koz |
| Copper Price for 1 st 9 Years (assumed) | US$4.3/lb | US$4.3/lb |
| Copper Price for Remaining Years | US$7.0/lb | US$7.0/lb |
| Gold Price for 1st 9 Years (assumed) | US$3,000/oz | US$3,000/oz |
| Gold Price for Remaining years | US$4,500/oz | US$4,500/oz |
| Initial Capital | US$276 M | US$276 M |
| NPV (Post Tax; 8%) | US$444 M | US$771 M |
| NPV (Pre Tax; 8%) | US$771 M | US$1.3 BN |
| IRR (Pre Tax) | 28.5% | 30.5% |
| IRR (Post Tax) | 22.1% | 24.1% |
| Payback from Start of Production 1 | 4.7 Years | 4.7 Years |
| LOM C1 Cost (net of by-product credits) | US$0.41/lb Cu | US$1.73/lb Cu |
Note: The payback period increased from 2.67 years in the Scoping Study, primarily due to higher sustaining capital associated with the implementation of the vertical haulage system and related surface and underground infrastructure. While continuation of the original truck haulage methodology would have reduced sustaining capital requirements, it would have resulted in materially higher operating costs over the life of mine, driven by increased haulage distances and fuel price escalation, and would have adversely affected the long-term economics and value of the Project.

Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Drilling Campaign
The Geotechnical and Hydrogeological Drilling Program[4] was completed with 13 boreholes drilled to a total depth of 1,802.65m.
Hydrogeological investigations conducted during the campaign included Lugeon (packer) tests, standpipe installation, and infiltration tests to determine rock mass permeability, groundwater conditions, and hydraulic conductivity within the proposed mine area. The results of these tests served as key inputs for slope stability evaluation, groundwater assessment, and the preliminary design of mine and support infrastructure.
Geological and geotechnical core logging, sample selection and preparation for geotechnical and geochemical analyses, and in-house Point Load Testing ("PLT") were also undertaken. The generated data form part of the geotechnical databases required for engineering design and project evaluation.
All geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological, and test pit data obtained from the drilling campaign were validated and consolidated. The upgraded dataset was utilised to refine the mine plan, update the Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE"), the Mining Reserve and to support the DFS Report.
2025 Mineral Resource Estimate
On 24 November 2025 Celsius announced an updated 2012 JORC compliant MRE of 343Mt of 0.46% copper, and 0.12g/t gold, for a total of 1.6Mt of contained copper and 1.4Moz of contained gold, reported to a cutoff grade of 0.20% copper[5].
The 2025 MRE incorporates drilling completed since late 2022, significantly enhancing confidence in the resource base. This additional drilling has strengthened the Measured category, confirming the continuity of copper mineralisation across key areas.
Recent programs have also refined the boundaries of mineralised zones, providing a clearer understanding of the orientation and continuity of higher‑grade domains (Type 1HGV). Further diamond drilling has delineated shallow high‑grade copper mineralisation (Type 1HGH), resulting in improved grade distribution at higher cut‑off grades. Overall, the 2025 MRE reports an increase of 5 Mt containing 14 kt of copper compared with the 2022 estimate.
In parallel, the weathering model has been updated, improving the definition of shallow weathered material. This refinement eliminates the Inferred category in weathered zones, thereby increasing confidence in near‑surface tonnes. Given the potential for future mining and processing, the weathered copper mineralisation has been retained within the updated MCB Project MRE.

Table 2. Comparison between the 2025 Mineral Resource and the 2022 Mineral Resource at a cut-off grade of 0.20% copper[6]
Maiden Ore Reserve Statement
A Maiden JORC-Compliant Ore Reserve Estimate was announced on 12 December 2025 with an underground gross total Ore Reserves of 130.2Mt @ 0.66% Cu and 0.21g/t Au, for 856kt of contained copper and 891 koz of contained gold at a 0.84% CuEq grade[7].
The Maiden Ore Reserve Estimate was derived from the 2025 MRE and reflects the technical and economic parameters developed to date through previous studies, along with the ongoing DFS program.
Table 3. MCB Project Ore Reserve Estimate
The Ore Reserve forms the basis of the DFS mine plan and supports the ongoing financing discussions with prospective partners and institutions.
Metallurgical Testwork
Metallurgical testwork show that the MCB Project can consistently produce high-quality copper and gold. Over the first ten years of mine life, average recoveries are expected to be about 95% for copper and 77% for gold, resulting in a concentrate with around 25.5% copper and 5.5g/t gold, with very low impurities. These results confirm that the project can reliably deliver saleable copper-gold products using standard processing methods[8].
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
A number of strategic social and economic initiatives were carried out for the period to build the capacities of host community and drive development.
Stakeholder Engagement
Regular monthly meetings of the Barangay Balatoc-Council of Elders were held to ensure that project updates were shared, risks addressed, and decisions made transparently and collaboratively.
Community-Based Skills Training
Another batch of 25 trainees from the Balatoc community completed the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority ("TESDA") Carpentry National Certificate Level II (NCII) Training. The next step is to earn their NCII Assessment and Certification which will signify that completers have attained foundational, intermediate competency in carpentry, making them employable locally and internationally. The training not only enhances individual employability but also contributes to building a stronger pool of skilled workers within the community. By attaining nationally recognised certification, these graduates are now better positioned to access livelihood opportunities, support their families, and contribute to local economic growth.
With this latest batch, the total number of program completers has reached 155, underscoring the Company's sustained commitment to capacity-building and workforce development in Balatoc. This also reflects the program's long-term impact in empowering community members through practical skills training and creating pathways toward sustainable employment[9].
Educational Assistance and Scholarship
The second tranche of the Community Educational Scholarship and Assistance Program has been released, benefiting 231 students, alongside the sustained provision of monthly allowances to two scholars, ensuring their academic pursuits remain supported.
Twelve reviewees who were provided support through the program successfully passed various licensure examinations administered by the Philippine Regulation Commission. This accomplishment reflects not only the dedication and perseverance of the reviews but also the effectiveness of the assistance extended by the program. By helping these individuals achieve professional certification, the initiative has contributed to enhancing career opportunities, strengthening the local talent pool, and fostering community development. The success of these reviewees serves as a testament to the program's role in empowering individuals and creating long-term benefits for both the participants and the broader community.

Medical Mission
MMCI partnered with the Municipal Health Office of Pasil to deliver a Medical Mission in Barangay Balatoc. The initiative provided essential healthcare services to more than 200 residents, addressing both immediate medical needs and long-term wellness. Community members benefited from a wide range of services, including general medical consultations, dental care, minor surgical procedures and blood-letting activities. To further support overall health, medicines and vitamins were distributed to patients, ensuring continuity of care beyond the mission itself.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
MMCI engaged HMD Systems & Standards Specialist Circle to conduct a Gap Assessment in preparation for ISO 14001:2015 certification. The assessment evaluated MMCI's compliance with ISO 14001:2015 requirements, reviewed documentation and operational controls, and highlighted areas for enhancement. Findings confirmed that no critical or major issues were present; only minor gaps and opportunities for improvement were identified, reinforcing the organisation's commitment to continual improvement of its Environmental Management System.
ANCILLARY PERMITS
Tree-Cutting Permit
All documentary requirements for the application of a tree‑cutting permit have been formally submitted to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR"). The submission package includes site plans, environmental impact assessments, and supporting compliance documents to demonstrate adherence to regulatory standards. This step marks a key milestone in securing the necessary approvals for land preparation and construction activities. The project team is now coordinating with DENR officials to facilitate the review process, address any clarifications, and ensure timely issuance of the permit in alignment with project schedules.
FUNDING SUPPORT
The MCB Copper-Gold Project continues to benefit from the financial backing through the Maharlika Investment Corporation's bridge loan facility, ensuring uninterrupted progress. MMCI has drawn US$7.5 million of the US$10 million First OLSA to fund MMCI's MCB Project-related activities[10].
GRANT SAMUEL APPOINTED AS FINANCIAL ADVISER
In January 2026, Grant Samuel Capital Advisory Pty Limited ("Grant Samuel") was appointed to assist Celsius' management and Board in the coordination of an integrated financing process and the structuring and negotiation of an optimal funding package for the MCB Project[11].
The appointment follows strong interest from international mining financiers, offtakers and investment groups and the receipt of offtake, debt and equity proposals.
Bardin Davis was also engaged as a consultant to the Board on matters of strategy, financing and project development.
BOTILAO COPPER-GOLD PROSPECT
MMCI is awaiting the formal issuance of its renewed tenement permit following the submission of the revised Exploration, Environment, and Community Development Programs.
Opuwo Cobalt Project, Namibia
As disclosed previously to the market, the Company has opened its data room to parties interested in acquiring the Company's Opuwo Cobalt project in Namibia ("Opuwo"). Several parties have expressed interest in acquiring the 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.
SAGAY Copper-Gold Project, Philippines

The Facility enables the Company to conditionally access further capital to fund its project portfolio in the Philippines and the Company's ongoing working capital. The Facility is structured so that the timing of any or all drawdowns (and therefore an acceptable issue price of any shares issued under the agreement) are entirely at Celsius' discretion. The facility matures in September 2026. Under the terms of the Facility, Celsius may, at its discretion, place new ordinary shares in the Company with Patras up to a total of A$10 million over the next 24 months. Celsius may draw in traches of up to A$5 million at its full discretion, and up to A$3 million with mutual consent which may be further increased by up to 15% by Patras. The Facility may be terminated by the Company prior to completion of the two-year term without penalty, and the Facility does not restrict Celsius obtaining any form, or combination, or equity or debt financing from third parties or any other source. For each placement under the Facility, Celsius can nominate a price in which it is willing to place shares to Patras (or its nominee) provided it is not below A$0.01 per share ("Nominated Price"). The ultimate placement price however shall be 95% of the higher of the Nominated Price, or the "Market Price" (being the 5 day VWAP of Celsius shares (for 5 days nominated by Patras) over the 30 day trading period following the issue of a placement notice to Patras ("Pricing Period")). Patras may reduce the cash amount payable in a trance requested by Celsius by up to 1/30 for each trading day during the Pricing Period of which the VWAP is equal or less than the Nominated Price.
