The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially
affects the information in the relevant market announcements. All material
assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the
relevant market announcements continue to apply and have not materially
changed.
Table 2.1 Windarra Gold Tailings Project JORC2012 Mineral Resource
The Windarra Tailings estimate for North and South Dams has been reported based on the following:
•no cut-off grade has been used to report the resource, as the potential mining method dictates removal of the entire dams.
3
•a dry bulk in situ density of 1.6 t/m has been used to derive tonnages.
•resource numbers in Table 2.1 may not sum exactly due to rounding.
Table 2.2 Windarra Central Dam JORC2012 Mineral Resource
The Windarra Tailings estimate for the Central Dam has been reported based on the following:
•No cut-off grade has been used to report the resource, as the potential mining method dictates removal of the entire dam down to a specified
elevation.
•The mineralisation has been reported above a flat elevation of 446 mRL; there are tailings below this level but these have been shown by drilling to
contain no gold, and it is anticipated that the proposed mining method will not treat material below this elevation.
•A dry bulk in situ density of 1.6 t/m has been used to derive tonnages.

•Resource totals may not sum exactly due to rounding.

Forward looking statements
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT – INFERRED RESOURCE STATEMENTS:
The Company notes that an Inferred Resource has a lower level of confidence than an Indicated Resource and that the JORC Codes, 2012 advises that to
be an Inferred Resource it is reasonable to expect that the majority of the Inferred Resource would be upgraded to an Indicated Resource with continued
exploration. Based on advice from relevant competent Persons, the Company has a high degree of confidence that the Inferred Resource for the Silver
Swan deposit will upgrade to an Indicated Resource with further exploration work.
The Company believes it has a reasonable basis for making the forward looking statement in this announcement, including with respect to any production
targets, based on the information contained in this announcement and in particular, the JORC Code, 2012 Mineral Resource for Silver Swan as of May 2016,
together with independent geotechnical studies, determination of production targets, mine design and scheduling, metallurgical testwork, external commodity
price and exchange rate forecasts and worldwide operating cost data.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
This release contains certain forward-looking statements including nickel production targets. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally
be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”, “will”, “except”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, ”continue”, and “guidance”, or other
similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production and expected
costs. Indications of, and guidance on future earnings, cash flows, costs, financial position and performance are also forward-looking statements.
Forward looking statements, opinions and estimates included in this announcement are based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to
change, without notice, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on interpretation of current market conditions. Forward looking
statements are provided as a general guide only and should not be relied on as a guarantee of future performance.
Forward looking statements may be affected by a range of variables that could cause actual results or trends to differ materially. These variations, if
materially adverse, may affect the timing or the feasibility and potential development of the Silver Swan underground mine.

Jaguar Project – Outstanding Infrastructure and Logistics
40km north of regional mining centres of Tucumã and Ourilândia do Norte
(population 70,000) – mining towns with strong skilled workforce
High-Voltage (138kV) sub-station located at Tucumã – 80% of power generation in
Brazil is from renewables (mainly hydro) resulting in comparably low power costs
of <US$0.10/kWh
Mining Lease Application lodged and Land Access Agreements in place

Jaguar Project – Scoping Study Well Advanced
The Scoping Study aims to demonstrate that, subject to further development work, Centaurus is well placed to deliver on
its aspirations to be a clean and efficient 20,000 plus tonne per annum nickel producer by the end of 2024 to assist in the
global transition to electrification and to meet anticipated surging demand for key battery metals.
Base Case Value-Add Case
Base Case is production of high-grade nickel concentrate SS to consider value-adding opportunities including
using traditional nickel flotation process Pressure Oxidation to produce nickel metal or nickel
sulphate
Scoping Study (SS) progressing well with Entech and DRA
Global supporting SS activities. Initial POx testing at ALS has delivered excellent results
with extractions of nickel, copper and cobalt all
To be underpinned by JORC Resource up-grade exceeding 99%
Fiscal Benefits
Key drivers to POx viability is being located in Brazil
Income Tax Rate of 15% for first 10 years likely to be and with this:-
available to the Company, once the project is
▪ Access to low cost energy
operational ▪ Access to clean energy (+ 80% renewables)
▪ Relatively low-cost skilled labour market
Power costs in Brazil are low, with Centaurus likely to
▪ Access to low-cost residue neutralization material
be able to source power for less than US$0.10/kWh
▪ Availability of high quality fresh water

Jaguar Project – Project Development Underway
Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork
Flotation tests deliver +80% nickel recoveries* from Jaguar South and
Onça Preta ore. Jaguar Central and North testing has commenced.
Quality +16% nickel concentrate, with high Fe:MgO (~5.5:1) and low
arsenic – highly desirable marketable characteristics
Using traditional “Western Australian” nickel flowsheet and reagents
An increase of 25% on historical
results, due to changes in feed
head grade, grind sizes and
reagent selection
Metallurgical test work
continuing at ALS Metallurgy in
Perth; new samples recently
received from Jag Central and
North for testing
First float test on the Jaguar South
ore at ALS Perth +80% nickel recoveries – quality +16% nickel concentrate
* See ASX Announcement of 31 March 2020 for further details of the preliminary metallurgical testwork and results
