3 Dittmer Gold Project - Summary Acquisition cost for Loch Neigh Gold Pty Ltd - $575,000 Acquisition cost of EPM $25,000 Centius Gold Limited to self fund from existing cash reserves Production in 6 months from oxide ore: recovering free gold from gravity approx. 1 oz/t Au forecast production costs $400 per oz subject to DD confirmation. Future plans to expand the mine to process both oxide and sulphide ore Two MLA (awaiting ministerial approval 4-6 weeks) and EPM14255 Historic grades Gold g/t (3.1 oz/t) Silver g/t (1.37 oz/t) Copper 1.73% Current target estimates of 216,400 tonnes, Located in a developed area with local workforce and infrastructure in place Three developed high grade lodes, Duffer (Dittmer Mine), Loch Neigh, and Lamington Drilling target on the Loch Neigh Lode identified: objective is a JORC compliant resource in 3-6 months 3

8 The Loch Neigh Reef and Drilling Proposal Drilling the Loch Neigh Lode will give a JORC indicated reserve within 6 months 8

9 Dittmer Gold Project - Loch Neigh Reef Hematite clearly evident from the brownstone or oxide zone at outcrop Previous (minimal) drilling the Loch Neigh deposit from the top of the hill has not tested the ore body 9

10 Dittmer Gold Project - Lamington Reef 10 The Lamington Lode is located approximately 1.5 km north of the Dittmer Lode, has been partially developed (drive and shaft) and the vendor considers this the priority for immediate development.

11 Dittmer Gold Project - Lamington Reef Typical sulphide copper rich ore exposed in the 118 m drive into the Lamington ore body. The zone is approximately 0.5 m wide. The 118 m drive into the ore body at Lamington. 11
