USE OF FUNDS

The funds raised under the SPP will be used to fund the development of the Bobrikovo Project in Ukraine and the Melrose project in Western Australia, the exploration programs for gold at the Bobrikovo Project, the Melrose Project, the Ashburton Downs Project in Western Australia, and at the Batchelor Project in the Northern Territory, to cover other working capital requirements and to reduce debt.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Korab Resources Limited is a Perth based ASX-listed (ASX: KOR) mining and exploration company with gold, phosphate and magnesium mining and quarrying assets located in Australia. The Company also operates exploration projects where it explores for gold, copper, nickel and phosphates in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

During the year Korab has made considerable progress with Korab’s gold mining projects, specifically 2 million gold ounces Bobrikovo Project in Ukraine and 340 thousand gold ounces Melrose Project in Western Australia.

In December 2012 the Company signed agreement to sell the Winchester Magnesite Project in the Northern Territory for up to $33 million in cash and royalties (subject to a number of conditions, including successful completion of the due diligence process). In the event that this sale proceeds to completion, part of the monies received will be used to fund the development of the oxide zone of the Bobrikovo Project and to fund the pre-feasibility study on the development of 1.93 million gold ounces contained in the fresh rock zone of the Bobrikovo Project (see the description of the Bobrikovo Project below for more details).

During the year, in addition to significant amount of work completed on the Bobrikovo Project, Korab completed an extensive metallurgical testwork program to assess the viability of the development of the Melrose Project as simple lowcost heap leach operation. The results of this program show that the Melrose Project may be developed as a heap leach operation with very high gold recovery rates in column leach tests. The recovery rates from column leach tests ranged from 76% to 94% with very low use of additives (see the description of the Melrose Project below for more details).

Korab also continues to assess optimum ways to generate revenue for our shareholders from our Geolsec Phosphate Project located in the Northern Territory.

During the year, Korab announced an exciting new initiative to pay electing Korab shareholders what amounts to a 5% “royalty” on gold produced by the Company. Should the Company declare a dividend, shareholders may elect to receive the dividend in gold. Korab shareholders who are eligible to receive a dividend and who make the election would receive the gold in a Perth Mint depositary account opened on behalf of each electing shareholder for this purpose. This will enable those Korab shareholders who elect to do so, to receive gold instead of cash should the Company declare a dividend in the future thus allowing them to directly participate in the future stream of gold produced by the Company. This right to receive declared dividends in gold or in cash remains subject to the Korab Board’s powers to pay a dividend under Part 2H.5 of the Corporations Act.

BOBRIKOVO GOLD PROJECT

Bobrikovo Gold Project which is located in eastern Ukraine has a 2 million gold ounces mineral resource estimated in accordance with JORC Code. The mineralisation is open at depth and along strike and offers potential for significant increase in tonnage and grade with more drilling. The project has progressed through the feasibility study stage for the development of the oxide zone (corresponding to the measured resource) and is currently progressing through the feasibility study on the development of the fresh rock zone. As part of this program, an additional drilling campaign is planned to convert the part of the mineral resource that is currently classified as inferred resource to indicated category. Bobrikovo mineral resource statement at various cut-off grades is shown below.

As part of the development of the oxide zone, Korab has been mining and stockpiling ore on a campaign basis accumulating in excess of 340 thousand tonnes of high-grade and low-grade ore which contains 32,000 gold ounces ready for extraction. The ore is pre-crushed and is ready for milling and processing using simple low-cost gravity concentration circuit. The Company has also mined approximately 700,000 tonnes of very low grade rock assaying under 0.8 g/t Au (averaging 0.5 g/t Au) which is currently stockpiled as waste but which may be considered for treatment in the future. This rock contains additional 11,000 gold ounces.

Korab is developing the oxide zone as a precursor to the development of the much larger fresh rock zone where it aims to increase the production to between 60,000 and 70,000 gold ounces per year. The Company has already commenced the pre-feasibility study for the development of the fresh rock zone although the main focus thus far has been on the commencement of early gold production from the oxide ore.

The tonnage and grade of oxide ore which has been mined by Korab and stockpiled on site is as follows:

Material mined tonnes gradeg/t Au ounces Au
High Grade 49,696 4.80 7,669
Lower grade 284,699 2.60 23,799
Sub‐total 334,395 2.93 31,468
very low grade/waste 693,332 0.50 11,146
Total 1,027,727 42,613

The mined rock grade reconciliation conducted by the Company shows that the mined grade exceeds the grade predicted by the mineral resource estimation block model by a significant margin. This variation is due to the extremely conservative model adopted for the estimation of the mineral resource (released to the market on 8 October 2012). The model used ID4 (inverse distance to the power of 4) and consequently generated an extremely conservative resource estimate by not allowing smoothing of the data. As a result, this would have underestimated the total ounces contained when compared to a model using a lower power interpolation method.

Korab advised in February 2013 that it is considering extraction of gold from the ore stockpiled on site using a low cost second hand gravity processing plan. The Company advised in early March 2013 that it has commenced construction of the gravity processing plant and the ancillary infrastructure including lab, mechanical workshops and the administration building at the mine site. At the same time, Korab released exceptionally positive results of the evaluation of the Stage 1 of economic development of the oxide zone.

Oxide ore from Bobrikovo is amenable to low cost gravity processing using a simple low cost circuit designed to produce concentrate containing gold, silver, and base metals. Bobrikovo oxide ore is very soft and brittle, thus requiring very little energy to grind it to suitable grind size. Additional benefit of the oxide ore is that its gold particles are relatively large and occur as free grains. This makes the oxide ore from Bobrikovo suitable for gold and silver extraction without the use of

chemicals and at relatively coarse grind size. It is because of the excellent grindability and metallurgy of this heavily weathered ore that the CAPEX and the OPEX of Stage 1 development can be exceptionally low.

The operating profit from 12 month of production is expected to be around $11.5 million before tax. Production is fully permitted, however the commencement of the production of concentrate will depend on the timing of the completion of the gravity processing plant. The CAPEX is estimated at $700,000. The processing cost of ore to concentrate is $295/ounce. The selling costs and the discount to the spot gold price upon sale of the concentrate to refinery is approximately 15% of the gold price.

Large proportion of funds to be raised under the SPP will be used to fund the purchase and commissioning of the Stage 1 processing plant to enable early production of gold concentrate and generation of early cash flow.

The Company has already commenced the pre-feasibility study on the development of the fresh rock resource totalling 1.93 million ounces of gold estimated in accordance with JORC code aiming for an annual production of between 60,000 and 70,000 ounces of gold. Part of the monies to be raised under this SPP will be used to fund further progress of this study.

BOBRIKOVO PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Bobrikovo Project is located in eastern Ukraine, within Nagolny Ridge, a part of a large intra-continental geological structure that extends from southern Europe east to Central Asia. This structure hosts several world-class gold mining operations including 170 million ounces Muruntau gold deposit as well as Vysokovoltnoe, and Bakirchic gold deposits. The style of mineralisation at Bobrikovo is similar to 170 million ounces Muruntau deposit in Uzbekistan and to 57 million ounces of gold Sukhoi Log deposit in Russia.

The deposit occurs on the intersection of deep fault zones. Mineralisation is controlled by NW-NNW trending anticline hinge, and occurs as concordant and discordant quartz-carbonate tension veins and stockworks. Mineralised zone is 3 km long and 1 km wide. Exploratory drilling and seismic surveys indicate that mineralised rocks continue to at least 3 km depth. Whole rock geochemistry indicates that the mineralisation is mantle derived. Host rocks of the Nagolny Kryazh comprise two structural stages: the lower, Precambrian, and the upper, Phanerozoic. The lower structure comprises deformed sequence of gneisses and crystalline schists. Precambrian basement is overlapped by 3 km-thick sedimentary rock sequence.

MELROSE GOLD PROJECT

The Melrose project is located 70km north east of Leinster in the Eastern Gold Fields of Western Australia, within the Mt. Fisher/Wanganoo greenstone belt (previously called Mt. Fisher/Dingo Range belt). The Melrose project consists of three deposits (Bungarra, Boundary and Stirling) located in close proximity. Melrose mineral resource estimated in accordance with the JORC Code stands at 0.339 million ounces of gold in 6.5 Mln tonnes grading on average 1.61 g/t Au. The deposits are open at depth and offer potential for additional mineralisation with more drilling.

Following the completion of the extensive metallurgical test work program on samples from the Melrose project, which confirmed amenability of the ore to heap leach gold extraction, Korab commenced the review of the development options for the project. Column leach testing showed very good-to-excellent gold recovery rates. 94.07% of contained gold was recovered after 32 days from the Bungarra deposit samples, whilst 76.03% of contained gold was recovered after 60 days from the Boundary deposit samples. Company is updating the scoping study with the heap leach amenability test work results to assess the estimated capital expenditure and operating costs of a combined bulk mining and heap leaching operation. Part of the monies to be raised under this SPP will be used to fund the completion of the scoping study.

ASHBURTON DOWNS PROJECT

Ashburton Downs Project is held by a wholly owned subsidiary of Korab (Australian Copper P/L) and covers an area of 380 km2. Ashburton Downs Project is located immediately to the south of the Ashburton Project owned by Northern Star Resources Limited (NST). It contains several occurrence of gold in a setting similar to the deposits at Ashburton Project. Ashburton Project contains a mineral resource of 1.6 million gold ounces estimated in accordance with JORC code, comprising 7.1 million tonnes grading 2.4 g/t Au for 0.546 million gold ounces in indicated category and 14.227 million tonnes grading 2.5 g/t Au for 1.122 million gold ounces in inferred category (Announced by NST on 28 February 2013).

WINCHESTER MAGNESIUM DEPOSIT

Winchester magnesite deposit is located within the Batchelor project, approximately 70km by road or rail from the port of Darwin in the Northern Territory. It contains a mineral resource of 12.2 million tonnes grading 43.1% MgO in an indicated category and 4.4 million tonnes grading 43.6% MgO in an inferred category. On 31 December 2012, Korab Resources executed agreement to sell the deposit for up to $33 million in cash and royalties. The sale is subject to a number of conditions including successful completion of due diligence process.

GEOLSEC PHOSPHATE DEPOSIT

Geolsec phosphate deposit is located also within the Batchelor project, approximately 70km by road or rail from the port of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Korab has been working on the development of this project for a number of years. Whilst the deposit is relatively easy to mine and the project may be developed at a very low capital and operating costs, the presence of contaminants in the phosphate rock within some sections of the deposit has been complicating the development process. The presence of contaminants was reported to the market on 15 October 2010. Whilst Korab’s priority is on the development of our gold assets, the Company continues to assess the optimum approach to derive value from the Geolsec phosphate deposit for our shareholders.

GOLD DIVIDEND

In February 2013, Korab announced that if and when it declares a dividend in the future, shareholders may elect to receive the dividend in gold. Korab shareholders who are eligible to receive a dividend and who make the election would receive the gold in a Perth Mint depositary account opened on behalf of each electing shareholder for this purpose. The elections to receive gold will be capped at 5% of the gold produced by Korab in any financial year, and payment of the dividend in gold will be conditional on electing shareholders agreeing to be bound by the terms of Perth Mint depository accounts. This will essentially amount to shareholders receiving a 5% “royalty” on gold produced by the Company. Where the elections to receive gold exceed this 5% of the gold produced in any one financial year, the dividend payments in gold would be scaled back on a pro rata basis and electing shareholders would receive a combined gold and cash dividend payment. This may happen for example if the aggregate amount of the dividends to be paid out in any one financial year exceeds the value of 5% of the gold produced in that year. This right to receive declared dividends in gold or in cash remains subject to the Korab Board’s powers to pay a dividend under Part 2H.5 of the Corporations Act. The Perth Mint operates a Depository business unit which currently holds over $3.5 billion worth of precious metals. Out of the Depository’s 24,000 clients, 46% are Australian (11,000 clients) with 39% from the United States and 10% in Europe. Depository clients can hold gold on an unallocated basis recorded down to units of one thousandth of an ounce (0.001oz), or circa $1.58. This small unit of measure means that all but the smallest of dividend payments would be able to be processed as a credit to the shareholder’s Perth Mint Depository metal account.

SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

As set out above, in order to assist in achieving the aims outlined above, the Company now offers to each existing Eligible Shareholder (i.e. shareholders who hold shares in Korab on 21 February 2013), the opportunity to acquire additional shares in the Company at $0.085 (8.5 cents) per share up to a total value of $14,999.95 per shareholder. The price of $0.085 (8.5 cents) per share, which has been fixed by the board of directors of Korab, provides existing Eligible Shareholders with an opportunity to purchase shares in the Company at a price which is 6% lower than the closing price on the last trading day immediately preceding the announcement of this offer and 7% lower than the volume weighted average price of Korab’s shares over 5 business days immediately preceding the announcement of this offer

The opportunity to purchase shares under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC Class Order allowing ASX listed companies to offer their existing shareholders the opportunity to acquire additional shares in the Company without the need for a prospectus under Part 6D.2.

Korab may settle any difficulty in relation to the SPP in any manner it thinks fit, whether generally or in relation to any participant, application or share. Korab’s decision will be conclusive and binding.

14. Important information on Price Risk to Consider

The issue price under the SPP is $0.085 (8.5 cents) per share, which is 6% lower than the closing price of Korab shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the announcement of this SPP and 7% lower than the volume weighted average price of Korab’s shares over 5 business days immediately preceding the announcement of this SPP. Before deciding whether to accept the offer, shareholders should refer to the current market price of Korab’s shares, which can be obtained from the financial pages of a daily newspaper, a stockbroker or the ASX.

Shareholders should note that the market price of Korab’s shares may rise or fall between the date of this offer and the date when the shares are issued to the shareholder under the SPP. This means that the price paid per share may be greater than or less than the price of Korab’s shares at the time the shares are issued to you under the terms of the SPP. In determining whether, as an Eligible Shareholder, you wish to participate in this offer and the extent of participation, personal financial and/or taxation advice should first be obtained.

Korab reserves the right to waive strict compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions. The powers of Korab under these Terms and Conditions may be exercised by the Directors of Korab or any delegate of them.
