All information included in this presentation regarding Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve estimates was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. This information has been updated to the JORC 2012 Code for the Jambreiro Mineral Resource. The information in relation to the Jambreiro Ore Reserve has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

All information included in this presentation regarding the Ore Reserve estimate for the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project should be read in conjunction with the ASX announcement dated 5 November 2012. No material change has occurred in any of the conservative pit optimisation parameters used to estimate the Jambreiro Ore Reserve.

Refer to the ASX announcements dated 20 December 2013 and 13 January 2014 for details of the material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information included in this presentation for the Jambreiro Iron Ore Project. The Company confirms that all the material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information derived from the production target continue to apply and have not materially changed.

All information contained in this presentation on the Salobo Mine of Vale has been taken from the "Vale Production in 4Q17" Report, its 20‐F Annual Report for 2017 and other public domain reports including their 2018 Vale Day presentation.

All information contained in this presentation on the Jacaré Mineral Resource has been taken from Anglo American Presentations "O Depósito de Níquel Laterítico do Jacaré (PA), Brasil" - Simexmin 2010 and Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources Report 2016.

All information contained in this presentation on the Itapitanga Exploration Target was release to the market on 1 August 2018.

This presentation comments on and discusses some of Centaurus Metals Limited's exploration in terms of target size and type. The information relating to the Itapitanga Exploration Target should not be misunderstood or misconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. The potential quantity and quality of material discussed as an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature since there has been insufficient work completed to define them as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves. It is uncertain if further exploration work will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.
