Korab Resources L t d (“ Korab ”, o r “ Company ”) ( ASX: KOR ) and its su b sidiaries (“ Korab Group ” ) are pl e ased to provi d e the followi n g update regarding the Winchester magnesium carb o nate project. During June, July a nd early pa r t of August K orab held s e ries of mee t ings and ne g otiations wit h multiple interested parties inclu d ing trading houses, end users, and processors o f magnesiu m carbo n ate and mag n esia product s . The count e rparties com p rised the ke y players in t h e magnesiu m carbo n ate, process e d magnesia, and refractories sectors as well as major trading hou s es in Europe, India, S outh East A s ia, Korea, Ja p an, China, a n d Americas.
The meetings and n egotiations w ent very well. It is apparent from the fa c e-to-face me e tings that th e curren t demand fo r the raw a n d processed magnesia i s higher than anticipated in our earlier asses s ments. The c uts to Chine s e productio n of raw mag n esium carb o nate rock, c a ustic calcine d magn e sia (CCM) a n d dead burn e d magnesia (DBM) have l e d to increase d prices and m ade it harder for en d users and trading house s to secure s table supplie s . The situati o n is likely to continue int o 2020/ 2 021. During t he last 3 m o nths, Comp a ny was focu s ing on 4 ma i n areas: fun d ing, offtakes, permit t ing, divesting (or sub-leasi n g) of other a s sets.
FUND I NG
After m ore than tw o months of meetings an d discussions, Korab is in the process of evaluatin g variou s funding pro p osals for the W inchester q u arry. These include:
-
forward sale which is e s sentially a prepayments for magnesite rock to be d elivered onc e project is i n production ( p referred opti o n),
-
debt financing to be rep a id out of sale s revenue, 3. sale of a minority equity s take in the project,
The e v aluation of the proposals i s still continuing as are th e discussions w ith interested parties. Th e discus s ions are inc o mplete. Whil s t the detailed terms of fun d ing being dis c ussed are c o nfidential, th e gener a l structure of the forward s ale envisag e s a prepayment for appro x imately 100,000 tonnes of crush e d magnesiu m carbonate r o ck which w o uld be delivered in 2-3 sh i pments onc e the quarry i s operat i onal. The p r e-sale of 10 0 ,000 tonnes of rock can be easily c o vered from the propose d 600,0 0 0-800,000 to n nes annual c apacity of th e quarry.
It is cl e ar from the discussion a n d negotiatio n s, that the funding of the project is m o st likely to b e throug h forward sal e s, or a com b ination of for w ard sales, a n d a small b a nk loan. Giv e n the balanc e sheets of the pote n tial counter p arties to the proposed offtakes, this o ption appea r s to be most advan t ageous to bo t h sides.
Note t h at there can be no certai n ty that any a g reement or a greements r e garding the f u nding can b e reach e d or that any transaction w ill eventuate. No commercial terms hav e been agree d between th e partie s . Accordingly , no investm e nt decision s h ould be made on the basi s of this information. Kora b will ad v ise the mark e t if and whe n an agreeme n t or agreements have bee n reached.
Discu s sions with th e potential C h inese funder s which were announced i n March 201 6 are currentl y on hold. The Co m pany has d e ferred any decisions in this regard to enable e v aluation an d consideration of oth e r proposals o f funding the development received fro m other partie s .

As pr e viously advi s ed, Korab r e ceived seve r al proposals regarding sales of the rock, which ar e curren t ly being evaluated. In ad d ition, some o f these parti e s requested b ulk samples of magnesit e rock f o r test-proces s ing into CCM, DBM, and r e fractory bricks. Becau s e of the su m mer break i n the norther n hemisphere and many k e y people going on annu a l leave t he process was somewhat slowed-dow n during July a nd August b u t is likely to accelerate no w as per s onnel are returning from l e ave.

During the discussi o n, several of the potential buyers and t r ading house s who expres s ed interest i n buying raw rock, as k ed Korab to a lso review p o tential suppl y of CCM, an d /or DBM (in a ddition to ra w magn e site rock) as parallel prod u ct lines.
The prices for CCM and DBM ar e significantly higher than r a w magnesiu m carbonate r o ck, with DB M prices reaching US $ 1,200-$1,40 0 /tonne. By c omparison, r a w magnesium carbonate rock sells for betwe e n US$100/to n ne and US$ 1 35/tonne.
Based on our discu s sion with the trading hous e s and end users, the pote n tial first-year s ales volume s of the t wo additional products are in the range o f 300,000 to 600,000 tonn e s per annum for CCM, an d 150,0 0 0 to 350,000 tonnes for D B M.
Each t onne of CC M or DBM r e quires as a n input appro x imately 2.2 t onnes of ra w magnesiu m carbo n ate rock. T h e above volumes of CCM and DBM are therefo r e equivalent to addition a l produ c tion of raw m agnesium c a rbonate roc k from the qu a rry of betw e en 990,000 a nd 2,100,00 0 tonne s .
As result of the me e tings with p o tential buyer s and trading h ouses, and g iven the pot e ntial change s to the production volumes and revenue stre a ms Korab c o mmenced r e view of the economics of addin g the CCM, a n d/or DBM (p r oduced on t o ll-treatment b asis) to the p roduct line-up. The revie w will as s ess the cost s and benefits including pot e ntial cash-fl o ws, earnings , processing costs, logistics, etc.). T he economi c review envi s ages that th e sales of raw DSO magn e sium carbon a te rock woul d occur in parallel wit h the sales of t he processe d CCM, and DBM.
Whilst the review p rocess is n o t complete, initial results suggest a p ositive case for addition a l reven u e stream fro m toll-treatme n t processing o f magnesiu m carbonate i n to CCM, and / or DBM.
As a c o nsequence o f this Korab h as commenc e d discussions with compa n ies operatin g kilns suitabl e for co n version of ra w rock into C C M and with parties opera t ing kilns suit a ble for prod u ction of DBM.

The lif e cycle of the refractories v aries from as little as 20 minutes to as l o ng as 10 ye a rs. Majority of the refractories are used in steel making whe r e the life cyc l e is between 20 minutes a nd 2 months. The input cost of refractories as a percentage of the opera t ing costs of a steel, or ce m ent maker i s relativ e ly small at l e ss than 2% . This make s the demand for refracto r ies driven primarily by th e dema n d for steel, c e ment, and gl a ss and mak e s it relatively i mmune to re f ractories pric e increases. A 100% price increas e in the cost of refractori e s will increa s e the overall operating c o sts of a ste e l maker by less than 2 %.
