ASX Release 19 June 2015

HIGHFIELD RESOURCES ADDS SUBSTANTIAL EXPLORATION TARGET TO MUGA MINE PROJECT AREA

Highlights

  • Substantial Exploration Target* calculated for north western extension of flagship Muga Mine project area of:

  • Tonnes – 127 to 255 million tonnes of sylvinite

  • Grade – 12 to 16% K2O

  • Exploration Target is supported by gravimetric survey demonstrating continuity of the potash bearing evaporite into the north western extension of the Project area

  • Exploration Target covers only two of five possible seams identified within the total Project area

  • Mineralisation in the north western area would provide options to significantly increase mine life and / or operational scale

  • Exploration Target and gravimetric survey works support potash bearing evaporite extending into adjoining Vipasca Project area

  • Drilling of the Exploration Target is expected to commence in Q4 2015

  • Targeted commencement of Muga Mine construction remains on track for Q4 2015

Spanish potash developer Highfield Resources Limited (HFR: ASX) (“Highfield” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce an Exploration Target for the north western extension of its flagship Muga Project (the “Project”). Highfield’s Managing Director, Anthony Hall, commented:

“We are encouraged by the addition of this Exploration Target to the Muga Project. Our focus remains commencing construction of the Muga Mine DFS project this year, and in the backdrop, it is important that we continue our exploration work to demonstrate the veracity of likely Muga Mine extensions and the additional four projects under our control.

Our stated aim of becoming a significant global potash producer depends on the strength and measured development of our pipeline. We believe that all our projects are likely to be low capex, high margin long life mines – as we are proving our flagship Muga Project to be.”

*The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

The reader is cautioned that a Mineral Resource is an estimate only and not a precise and completely accurate calculation, being dependent on the interpretation of limited information on the location, shape, and continuity of the occurrence and on the available sampling results. Actual mineralisation can be more or less than estimated depending upon actual geological conditions. The Mineral Resource statement includes Inferred Mineral Resources. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there can be no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated or Measured Mineral Resources. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. No Mineral Reserves are being stated.

Muga Potash Project

The Company’s flagship Muga Potash Project is targeting the relatively shallow sylvinite beds in the Muga Project area that covers an area of around 80km[2] . Mineralisation commences at depths from surface of less than 200m and appears ideal for a relatively low-cost conventional mine accessed via a dual decline as demonstrated in the Company’s DFS that was completed in March 2015.

The Company is proceeding with detailed design and engineering and other development and contracting work preparatory to full site construction start after final permitting expected later in 2015. A total of 38 exploration drill holes (11 historic, 27 completed by Highfield Resources) have been completed within the Project area, providing a high level of confidence with respect to continuity of the evaporite horizon, decline access and mineralisation grade across the ore body.

Exploration Target

The Exploration Target encompasses the Capa 1 and Capa 2 seams (two of five seams encountered across the Project) and excludes any of the other project areas contiguous with the Muga Project. The Company chose to exclude the Capa 0, Capa A and Capa B from the Exploration Target, however, it believes continuity could exist in these three seams, mainly the Capa B. These seams do not appear to be as thick nor as high grade as the Capa 1 and Capa 2.

Project Geology

The depositional basin bounds are defined to the south-west at the east-south east/west-north west trending Rocaforte Syncline near the margin of the Aragón River. To the north-west is the Sierra de Leyre anticlinal structure that overthrusts the Pamplona Marls Formation, the underlying unit of the evaporite. This thrust and two reverse faults run approximately east-west.

==> picture [427 x 344] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Muga Project area focusing on Exploration Target area showing selected regional structure and drill hole locations

Page 3 of 13

The first fault in the north is within the Pamplona Marls over Yesa turbidites. The second is coincident with the Liedena Sandstone, which overlays the evaporite. These faults are considered the extension of the Loiti Fault towards the east which also corresponds to the synsedimentary line between marine sediments within the Basin to the Eocene-Oligocene continental sediments at the thrust front.

The south boundary of the Exploration Target is an important fault running north-west / south-east that extends towards the east acting as limit to Magdalena anticline, considered the southern limit of southeastern section of the Muga Project area. In the west, the fault converges to the Loiti structure beyond the investigated area.

Geophysical Surveys

In this geological context the Company completed a gravimetric survey which seeks to identify low density salt materials in relation to the density of the surrounding lithologies. The initial survey was made in the northern part of the Goyo Permit area, where recent positive results in drill holes showed a thick salt interval and important sylvinite intersections. The results of this initial survey were positive with a clear, broad negative gravimetric anomaly open towards the north western extent of the Project area.

These initial positive gravimetric survey results led the Company to complete a further electromagnetic (TDEM) survey which defined the depth of the salt unit, based on the high resistivity response of salt in relation to others materials.

With these results, the Company launched a second survey campaign to the west of the Aragón River into the north-western extension of the Muga Project area. A detailed gravimetric survey has been completed in this area covering about 15 km[2 ] which includes 353 measurement points on a grid of 200m x 200 m. This survey shows an important negative anomaly consistent with that seen in the Goyo permit area. The anomaly is open towards the north and north-west suggesting continuity of the potash bearing evaporite unit into these areas.

A complementary TDEM profile has also been completed in the central position of gravimetric anomaly. The profile shows the presence of a thick salt unit at shallow levels in the northern section at depths below surface of between 200m and 600m depth. The profile shows the continuity of the salt unit towards the north below a resistive unit interpreted as sandstones.

The map on the next page shows the results of the geophysical surveys. Importantly it also demonstrates the evaporite unit commences in the Exploration Target region at depths below surface of less than 200m.

Drill Hole References

Drilling across the Project area indicates strong continuity of the evaporite unit towards the west in the key potash seams within this unit including the Capa 1 and Capa 2 (P1 and P2 below). The Company has used the drilling results from exploration holes J13-06 and J13-09, which are outside of the Exploration Target, as the basis for estimating the potential ranges of true thickness and grades of the key potash bearing seams. The presence of Capa B is not discounted, but it is not included in the Exploration Target given the Capa 1 and Capa 2 appear to be generally thicker and higher grade and as a result the likely mining target.

Drill holes J13-06 and J13-09 are critical holes as they intersected mineralisation at the base of the syncline structure that appears to extend into the north western area of the Project and further into the Vipasca Project area. These drill holes intersected the most complete ore intervals in the base of the syncline structure and as a result are believed to represent the most appropriate references for estimating the continuity of potash mineralisation into the Exploration Target area.

Potential Exploration Target Upside

The Company chose to exclude the Capa 0, Capa A and Capa B from the Exploration Target, however, it believes continuity could exists in these three seams, mainly Capa B. As such, upside potential exists with respect to these three seams.

Exploration Work

The Company anticipates commencing a drilling campaign in Q4 of the current calendar year to test the Exploration Target.

Muga Mine Construction Update

The tender process for the construction works of the two declines is in progress with an initial six tenders received and a further two expected. The Company anticipates commencing detailed negotiations with short listed tenderers in late June 2015 to ensure it is in a position to commence construction in Q4 of the current calendar year.
