ASX Release 24 February 2015

CONVERSION OF CLASS A PERFORMANCE SHARES TO ORDINARY SHARES

Spanish potash developer, Highfield Resources Ltd. (“Highfield” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise the Class A Performance Shares have been converted to Ordinary Shares effective 24 February 2015.

Under the terms of the Company´s acquisition of its four Spanish potash projects (agreement dated 13 August 2012), 50m Class A Performance Shares were issued to shareholders of the vendor entity, KCL Resources Limited. These Class A Performance Shares were to automatically convert to ordinary shares if the following milestone was achieved:

  • …delineation of a JORC Code (or equivalent) Compliant Indicated Mineral Resource of:

  • (i) 150 million tonnes of potash at or above 13% K2O by content; or

  • (ii) 125 million tonnes of potash at or above 14% K2O by content; or

  • (iii) 100 million tonnes of potash at or above 15% K2O by content; or

  • (iv) 75 million tonnes of potash at or above 17% K2O by content; or

  • (v) 50 million tonnes of potash at or above 20% K2O by content.

On 24 February 2015, the Company reported an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) for its 100% owned Muga–Vipasca Potash Project (“Muga” or “the Project”) completed by independent mining and geology consultants, Agapito Associates, Inc. (“Agapito”). This MRE included a high grade subset of the Resource of 178 million tonnes at an average grade of 13.4% K2O. This high grade subset was calculated by Agapito and satisfies the milestone for automatic conversion of the Class A Performance Shares to Ordinary Shares in the Company.

In addition to the conversion of the Class A Performance Shares, the Company has allotted 1.5 million Ordinary Shares under the terms of the corporate advisory agreement relating to the acquisition by the Company of the four Spanish potash projects.

Pursuant to the listing rules, following the release of a cleansing statement by the Company, these shares will be immediately tradeable on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) and will rank pari passu with all currently issued share capital.

Following the conversion of the 50 million Class A Performance Shares and the allotment of 1.5 million Ordinary Shares, the Company will have 252 million Ordinary Shares on issue.
