▲(80.00% Upside)
Action:ReiteratedDate:01/24/26
The score is primarily held back by weak financial performance (pre-revenue profile, ongoing losses, and sustained cash burn). Technicals are a partial offset with the price above key moving averages, but overbought momentum signals add near-term risk. Valuation is constrained by negative earnings and no indicated dividend yield.
Positive Factors
Strategic focus on battery metals
Celsius targets copper and gold—critical inputs for electrification and batteries—giving the company exposure to durable structural demand. As a developer of battery-metal assets, successful resource advancement can deliver long-term value if commodity demand and supply deficits persist.
Clear development-stage value pathway
The company has an explicit, repeatable model: delineate resources, advance engineering/economic studies, then pursue development or JV/sale. This staged approach creates discrete milestones to de-risk projects and attract partners, supporting durable value creation if executed.
Modest leverage and equity cushion
Low reported leverage and a relatively strong equity base provide financing flexibility for near-term exploration and studies. Modest debt reduces insolvency risk versus highly levered peers and improves ability to structure partner or project financing without immediate credit stress.
Negative Factors
Pre-revenue profile and ongoing cash burn
The company lacks operating revenue and generates negative operating and free cash flow, creating persistent funding needs. Over the medium term this forces reliance on external capital or partners, constrains optionality, and creates execution risk if markets or deal flow tighten.
Negative margins and widening losses
Gross profit turning negative and growing net losses indicate current activities do not cover core costs. These structural margin deficits erode returns and shareholder equity over time unless project economics improve or costs are materially reduced prior to monetization.
Dependence on capital markets and partners
Sustaining development requires external financing and/or farm-outs, exposing the company to dilution risk and execution timing uncertainty. Dependence on market access and partner appetite is a persistent structural vulnerability for pre-production miners.

Celsius Resources Business Overview & Revenue Model

Company DescriptionCelsius Resources Limited, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the exploration and extraction of mineral properties in Australia, Namibia, and the Philippines. The company primarily explores for copper, gold, nickel, and cobalt deposits. Its flagship project is the Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog copper gold project located in the Philippines. The company was formerly known as Celsius Coal Limited and changed its name to Celsius Resources Limited in December 2016. The company was incorporated in 1986 and is based in West Perth, Australia.
How the Company Makes MoneyCelsius Resources Ltd. makes money through the exploration, development, and potential production of mineral resources, specifically copper and gold. The company generates revenue by discovering and advancing mining projects to a stage where they can be sold, partnered with larger mining companies, or transitioned into production. Key revenue streams include the sale of mineral rights, joint ventures, and strategic partnerships with other mining companies. These partnerships often provide the necessary capital and technical expertise to advance projects to production, contributing significantly to the company's earnings.

Celsius Resources Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Income statement and cash flow are weak: the company is effectively pre-revenue with revenue falling to zero in 2025, negative gross profit in 2024–2025, and widening net losses through 2025. Cash flow remains materially negative with ongoing free cash flow burn, despite some improvement in 2025. The balance sheet is comparatively better with modest leverage (debt-to-equity ~0.12), but persistent losses create ongoing pressure.
Income Statement
12
Very Negative
The company remains in a pre-revenue/early-stage profile with extremely small and volatile revenue, including revenue falling to zero in 2025. Profitability is consistently weak, with sizable operating losses and net losses every year (net loss widened from 2023 to 2025). Gross profit also turned negative in 2024–2025, indicating limited ability to cover core costs at the current activity level.
Balance Sheet
52
Neutral
The balance sheet is a relative strength: equity is sizable versus total debt, and leverage remains modest even after debt increased in 2025 (debt-to-equity ~0.12). Total assets are broadly stable. The key weakness is persistent losses driving negative returns on equity across all years, which can pressure the capital base over time if losses continue.
Cash Flow
22
Negative
Cash generation is consistently negative, with operating cash flow and free cash flow remaining meaningfully below zero each year. Free cash flow improved in 2025 versus 2024 but is still negative, and the long-run pattern shows ongoing cash burn typical of development-stage operations. While cash outflow broadly tracks reported losses at times, the business has not demonstrated an ability to self-fund operations.

Celsius Resources Secures A$9.3m Placement to Advance Philippine Copper Projects
Feb 22, 2026

Celsius Resources has secured firm commitments to raise A$9.3 million via an institutionally backed share placement at A$0.02 per share, with strong demand from new and existing investors across Australia, Asia, North America and the UK. The placement, conducted in two tranches and including free-attaching options, was priced at a modest discount, underscoring investor confidence in the scale and quality of its copper portfolio.

Post-raising, the company plans to offer Bonus Loyalty Options to existing shareholders and will have over A$10 million in cash to support development and financing of its flagship MCB project. Proceeds will fund corporate working capital, financing efforts for MCB, permit and compliance work for its Philippine projects, exploration at the Botilao copper-gold project, and placement-related costs, strengthening Celsius’s operational footing and project pipeline.

Celsius Resources Shares Resume Trading After Audit Resignation Court Move
Feb 9, 2026

The move resolves a regulatory overhang tied to historical audit arrangements, allowing investors to trade the stock again without the uncertainty of a continuing suspension. While the case relates to legacy compliance matters, its clarification helps restore normal market activity in Celsius Resources’ shares and may improve confidence in its governance and reporting framework.

Celsius Resources Wins Court Orders, Clearing Path to ASX Reinstatement
Feb 9, 2026

Celsius Resources has secured court orders from the Supreme Court of Western Australia confirming that the resignation of its former auditor, BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd, was effective from 30 November 2011 and that the subsequent appointment of RSM Australia Partners as auditor from the same date was valid. The court also validated historical share issues and on-sales up to the date of the orders, clearing corporate and compliance uncertainties and paving the way for the company’s shares to be reinstated to official quotation on the ASX on 9 February 2026.

These rulings remove potential legal and regulatory overhangs related to the company’s audit history and capital raisings, strengthening governance assurances for shareholders and the market.

Celsius Resources’ Philippine Copper-Gold Project Clears Key Feasibility Milestone
Jan 30, 2026

Celsius Resources has reported a positive Definitive Feasibility Study for its Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog copper-gold project in the Philippines, confirming maiden ore reserves of 130.2 million tonnes that underpin an expected 35-year mine life. The study outlines an early high-grade production phase averaging 26.5kt of copper and 40.2koz of gold per year over the first decade at a low C1 cash cost, delivering a post-tax net present value of US$771 million and a 24% internal rate of return under conservative metal price assumptions. With an optimised underground mining plan, additional technical work to reduce project risk, and appointment of adviser Grant Samuel to structure an optimal funding package following strong interest from international financiers and offtakers, Celsius is moving the MCB project toward a final investment decision, supported in part by continued bridging finance from the Philippine sovereign wealth fund Maharlika Investment Corporation.

Celsius DFS Confirms Strong Economics for Philippine Copper-Gold Project
Jan 22, 2026

Celsius Resources has released a Definitive Feasibility Study for its Maalinao-Caigutan-Biyog copper-gold project in the Philippines, confirming a technically and economically robust operation built on a JORC-compliant mineral resource of 343Mt and a maiden ore reserve of 130.2Mt, supporting a projected 35-year mine life. The study outlines pre-tax NPV(8%) of US$1.3 billion and post-tax NPV(8%) of US$771 million, significantly higher at current spot prices, driven by an early high-grade mining phase using sublevel open stoping and a conventional concentrator that delivers low C1 cash costs and strong early cash flow, positioning MCB as a leading near-term copper-gold development and providing a solid foundation for project financing, offtake negotiations and a potential final investment decision.
