225,000-250,000 tonnes per year of direct shipping phosphate rock over a multi-year period.
On 20 June 2014 advised that it has agreed to provide the above potential buyer with sample of the phosphate rock for testing (at their expense).
On 29 July 2014 Korab advised that one of the major Asian phosphate buyers and distributors has requested Korab to provide quotation on additional supplies of bulk rock phosphate for another of their clients who is planning to buy annually around 3.2 million tonnes of bulk phosphate rock.
Furthermore, Korab advised that it has received additional request for samples to be provided to four additional domestic and overseas users and distributors.
In addition to the above potential multi-year sale agreements, Korab is working on a Framework Agreement to Supply Rock Phosphate submitted by Korab Group to another potential buyer. The agreement is still being worked on and some of the terms still need to be resolved. The Agreement
envisions supply of up to 20,000 tonnes of RP per annum for 3 years with an option to renew for further 3 years.

About Geolsec Phosphate Project
Location of the Geolsec project, just south of the port of Darwin and within a short distance to majority of Asian ports (see Figures 1 and 2) gives Geolsec significant advantage over phosphate producers located in Africa and the Middle East when supplying Asian and Australian buyers and distributors. Furthermore, being located next to trans-continental rail-way link and highway connecting to Ord River agricultural region, Queensland, NSW and Victoria, Geolsec has excellent access to the main agricultural regions in all Australian states.
The primary target markets for the sales of the direct shipping phosphate rock, ground-up phosphate rock and phosphate rock blends are plantations and pastoralists around Darwin (NT), mango growers in Ord River (WA), as well as organic farmers in SA, Eastern States and WA and Asian distributors and end users. Geolsec aims to supply environmentally-friendly organic fertiliser to the agricultural sector in the Northern Territory and beyond and thus support expansion of sustainable agriculture. Geolsec direct application RP has a potential to provide substantial ongoing benefits to the environment by improving soil fertility and improving nutritional quality of produce grown on fields fertilised with RP and rock dust products. More information about Geolsec’s benefits and the benefits of direct application of phosphate rock to soils is available from Korab website at www.korabresources.com.au/geolsec
Geolsec rock phosphate deposit is located approximately 3km west of the town of Batchelor and approximately 70km from Darwin. The project is accessible by sealed road all year round and is located near trans-continental highway linking Darwin with Adelaide, the national rail and road network, high-voltage power and a gas pipeline giving it the best logistics of any phosphate rock
