摄氏度资源有限公司（“Celsius”或“公司”）（ASX，AIM：CLA）很高兴地宣布延长其菲律宾子公司持有的Sagay铜矿项目（“Sagay”或“项目”）的勘探许可证, Tambuli Mining Company, Inc（“TMCI”）位于菲律宾内格罗斯岛。

EP-000003-VI的延期于2024年4月1日发布，依据的是第2010-21号部门行政命令[1]第30条，其中规定“勘探许可证到期后应视为自动延期”在矿业项目可行性声明（“DMPF”）获得批准之前，直至矿业协议获得批准”。

萨盖项目向菲律宾矿业和地球科学局（“MGB”）提交的 DMPF 申请已被接受，目前正在审核中。上述申请的批准将允许 TMCI 向菲律宾政府申请矿业协议（参见 2024 年 1 月 8 日的 CLA 公告）。

摄氏资源执行主席，律师。 Julito“Sarge”Sarmiento 表示：

“我们正在完成萨盖项目的环境影响评估，作为颁发环境合规证书的基础，这是批准 DMPF 的关键要求之一。我们正在采取一切措施，确保我们全面涵盖拟议项目的所有潜在环境影响，并将避免、保护和预防作为首要考虑方法，并最大限度地减少和管理任何残余影响。环境管理始终是我们的首要任务。

与我们的 Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog 项目（“MCB 项目”）一样，我们将继续遵守菲律宾政府的监管许可要求，以确保 Sagay 项目的安全开发和运营。”

Sagay 勘探许可证的延长期限仅限于遵守 DMPF 的要求，随着 TMCI 完成审批程序，将向股东提供进一步的更新。

Celsius Resources Limited ("Celsius" or "the Company") (ASX, AIM:CLA) is pleased to announce the extension of the exploration permit for the Sagay Copper Project ("Sagay" or "Project"), held under its Philippine subsidiary, Tambuli Mining Company, Inc ("TMCI") located on the Island of Negros in the Philippines.

The extension of EP-000003-VI was issued on 1 April 2024 and was based on Section 30 of the Department Administrative Order No. 2010-21[1], which states that "the exploration permit shall be deemed automatically extended in case it expires prior to the approval of the Declaration of Mining Project Feasibility ("DMPF") and until such time that a mineral agreement is approved".

The Sagay Project's DMPF application submitted to the Philippine Mines and Geosciences Bureau ("MGB") has been accepted and is currently under review. The approval of said application will consequently allow TMCI to apply for a mineral agreement with the Philippine Government (see CLA Announcement dated 8 January 2024).

Celsius Resources Executive Chairman, Atty. Julito "Sarge" Sarmiento said:

"We are in the process of completing the Environmental Impact Assessment for the Sagay Project as the basis for the issuance of an Environmental Compliance Certificate which is one of the key requirements for the approval of the DMPF. We are taking every step to ensure that we have comprehensively covered all potential environmental impacts of the proposed Project with avoidance, protection and prevention as top of mind approaches, and that any residual impacts are minimised and managed. Environmental stewardship will always be at the forefront of our business operations.

As with our Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog project ("MCB Project"), we will continue to adhere with the Philippine Government's regulatory permitting requirements to ensure the safe development and operations of the Sagay Project."

The extended term of the exploration permit for Sagay is limited to comply with the requirements of the DMPF and further updates will be provided to shareholders as TMCI moves through the approval process.
