WIN C HESTER MAGNESITE DIRE C T SHIPPING ORE F EASIBILITY STU D Y RESU L TS (CAP E X AND OPEX)

Korab Resources L t d (“Korab”, o r “Company” ) (ASX: KOR) is pleased t o provide the results of th e updat e of the pre-f e asibility stud y to develop W inchester m a gnesite dep o sit as a dire c t shipping or e (DSO) operation. T h is study was c ompleted by the Compan y using information collated and prepare d by Golder Associates Pty Ltd, t he Compan y , URS, Bate m an Tenova, and Devmi n Consultants. Following the current update, this is now a f easibility lev e l study; how e ver, for risk management reaso n s the Compa n y believed it would be pru d ent to contin u e using the o riginal accur a cy of the cost estimates of +/-30 % and cons e quently a 3 0 % contingency has bee n added to a ll capital an d operat i ng costs.

Assu m ptions and inputs (minin g work rate s , excavation and earthm o ving costs, labour costs, maint e nance costs, equipment and consu m ables cost s , as well a s other in p ut variables ) under p inning this st u dy which ge n erated the c a pital and ope r ating costs e s timates wer e sourced fro m appro p riate consult a nts and cont r actors. Whilst the aggregate estimates o f all components of capit a l and o p erating cost s are provided further in t his report (s e e Table 1 a nd Table 2 ) , the specifi c detailed work rates a nd prices w h ich were quo t ed by third p a rties are co m mercially se n sitive and ar e not disclosed in this report.

This s t udy assesse d capital (CA P EX) and operating costs ( O PEX) of Wi n chester project supplying a direct s hipping ore c rushed on sit e to average 2 5mm and sc r eened to sep a rate fines ( m inus 6mm).

As part of this upda t e, the Comp a ny evaluated the benefits o f utilising aut o matic miner a l ore sorter t o sort crushed rock i n to multiple s t reams which would reduc e the volume of waste an d increase th e propor t ion of saleable product.

The o u tput from the quarry woul d consist of c r ushed magn e site rock wit h a waste str e am consistin g of ma g nesite fines, dolomite, ta l c, and wast e rock (inclu d ing polymet a llic ores), w h ich would b e stored on site. The e stimated rati o of coarse s a leable magnesite rock to f ines used in t his study wa s 80%. T he study re v ealed that th e re may be a market for m agnesite fin e s, dolomite, talc, and other waste rock; howeve r any potential revenue fro m sale of thes e has not been included in t his study.

This i s an update o f the study results initially released t o the market on 13 Janu a ry 2015. Th e Comp a ny confirms that all the material ass u mptions underpinning th e production target, or th e foreca s t financial in f ormation der i ved from a production tar g et, in the init i al public rep o rt continue t o apply and have n o t materially changed. Additional infor m ation (cove r ing NPV, gross earnings, EBITDA, and cashfl o w) was rele a sed to the m a rket on 10 M a rch 2015.

Korab is currently fi n alising the e s timates of re v enues and v a rious additio n al material f a ctors such a s costs o f haulage, p o rt charges, i n terest, debt repayment, r o yalties, over h eads, etc. Inclusion of thi s additional informati o n will allow e stimation of updated app r oximate NP V , gross earnings, EBITDA, and c a shflow). This estimation is e xpected to b e completed s hortly and will be released to the market when a vailable.

This s t udy is based solely on indicated minera l resource. Inferred mineral resource sh o wn in Table 7 was n o t used in the estimation o f the producti o n target, or t he forecast f i nancial infor m ation derive d

Deposit is located s o uth of Darwi n in the Northern Territory, approximatel y 85km by ro a d, less than a hundr e d meters fro m sealed roa d , and less t h an 5km fro m railway line. For location of the project please see Figure 1, and Figur e 4. The de p osit is a shallow, flat layin g body covered by up to 5 meter s of unconsoli d ated soil an d gravel over b urden. Figur e 3 shows th e test mining o f magnesiu m carbo n ate rock at W inchester. S urface (top of the overburden) and t he top of the magnesiu m carbo n ate rock are clearly mark e d in the ph o to.

Capital costs of the Winchester p roject have been estimat e d at approximately $2.4 m illion to $2. 5 million (including 3 0 % contingen c y). Compon e nts of the c a pital costs o f the project are shown i n Table 1.

Result s of the stud y show that m ain compon e nts of capital expenditure are not sensitive to output capaci t y and that the capacity is primarily the function of d e mand for th e DSO magn e site rock. Th e capaci t y of the pro j ect would t h erefore ultim a tely depend on any off-t a ke and/or l o ng term sal e agree m ents. The s t udy assume d that contra c tors would be used for m ajority of pr o ject operatin g tasks thus reducing capital costs b y limiting th e need for ow n er operated e quipment. C a pital cost ha s been e stimated for the develop m ent of open pit operatio n s with requir e d access roads, bunding, pads, a nd other site infrastructur e , waste and w ater manage m ent etc.

Sever a l development variants w ere evaluated initially. In the end, a t wo-stage, b e nch-by-benc h development was s e lected as th e optimum variant for this feasibility stud y update. Und e r this variant, estimated capital c osts were s ignificantly r e duced due to (among o thers) small e r volume of overb u rden to be r e moved prior to commenc e ment of mining, no requir e ment for co n struction an d maint e nance of a di v ersion chan n el, and a red u ced waste a n d water man a gement requirements.

The st u dy was bas e d on a conce p tual mine th a t could oper a te at various capacity levels: 375,000T/ y ROM capacity, 75 0 ,000T/y RO M capacity a n d 1,000,000T/y ROM c a pacity. Thes e levels wer e select e d on the basis of Korab’s d iscussions w i th potential b u yers of the m agnesite roc k . Korab is th e sole m arketing agent for all roc k produced by Korab’s wholly owned s ubsidiary Au s Mag Pty Ltd. AusM a g Pty Ltd is t h e owner and operator of t h e Winchester Project.

The la y out of the p r oject under t w o-stage, be n ch-by-bench operating sc e nario with st a ge-1 open pit quarry and quarry infrastructure i s shown in Fi g ure 2.

The f e asibility stud y referred to in this ann o uncement h a s been und e rtaken for t h e purpose of estimating approximate capital a n d operating costs of the Winchester Ma g nesium Carbonate Project. It is a p reliminary te c hnical and e c onomic stud y of the pote n tial viability o f this Project. It is based o n low le v el technical a nd economic assessment s that are not s ufficient to s u pport the es t imation of or e reserv e s. Further e v aluation wor k and appropriate studies a r e required b e fore the Company will be i n a posi t ion to estim a te any ore r e serves or to provide any a ssurance of an economi c development case. This f e asibility stud y is based on the material assumptions outlined else w here in this report, and i n prior r e ports releas e d on 13 Jan u ary 2015 an d 10 March 2 0 15. The Co m pany confir m s that, all th e materi a l assumptions underpinni n g the produc t ion target, or the forecast f i nancial infor m ation derive d from a production t arget, in th e initial publi c reports continue to appl y and have not materiall y chang e d. These include assumptions about th e availability o f funding. W h ile the Company consider s all of t h e material a s sumptions to be based on reasonable g r ounds, there is no certaint y that they will prove t o be correct o r that the range of outcom e s indicated by the feasibili t y study will b e achieved.

To ac h ieve the range of outcome s indicated in the feasibility study, fundin g in the order of $3.5 millio n to $4 m illion will lik e ly be require d . Investors s h ould note th a t there is no certainty that the Compan y will be able to raise that amount of funding w h en needed. It is also pos s ible that suc h funding ma y only b e available o n terms that m ay be diluti v e to or other w ise affect the value of K o rab’s existin g share s .

It is al s o possible t h at the Comp a ny could pu r sue other ‘value realisatio n ’ strategies s uch as a joint ventur e , a partial s ale, or a sale of the pro j ect. If it does, this could materially r e duce Korab’ s propor t ionate ownership of the pr o ject.

Given the uncertainties involved, investors sh o uld not mak e any invest m ent decision s based solel y on the results of the feasibility stu d y.

On 23 March 2016 t he Company reported that it has entere d into an agre e ment with Mr. Hong Wan g (who r e presents int e rests associ a ted with Chi n ese steel in d ustry, bankin g and financ e , constructio n and building mate r ials) for a $ 6 million d e velopment f u nding for t h e Winchest e r magnesiu m carbo n ate project. U nder this ag r eement, the $ 6 million de v elopment fu n ding would be provided b y way o f funders and / or their nomi n ees acquirin g a direct 25 % -30% equity interest in A u sMag Pty Lt d (wholl y owned subsidiary of Kor a b developing the Winchester project) a n d would be conditional o n Korab (or AusMag) s ecuring addi t ional offtake s for magnesi u m carbonate rock. The pa r ties are yet t o finalis e the funding documentati o n for this tra n saction inclu d ing the sub s cription agre e ment and th e mana g ement agree m ent. The parties have agreed to wait w ith finalising the funding d ocumentatio n until K orab finalise s and publish e s updated e stimates of g ross earning s , cashflow, NPV, and th e projec t ed aggregat e earnings be f ore interest t a x and amortisation (EBIT D A) for Winc h ester Project. This e stimation is expected to be complete d shortly an d will be rel e ased to the market whe n availa b le.

The C o mpany assumed for the p urpose of thi s study that t h e funding m a y be source d either under the ab o ve agreeme n t, or in the a lternative, as a combination of debt (by way of a for w ard sale) an d equity (by way of a n institutional p lacement, a n d/or a pro-ra t a share issu e ). In light of t h e informatio n receiv e d from rele v ant counter p arties, and g iven the rel a tively low C A PEX of the project, bot h avenu e s appear feasible.

TIME F RAME FOR D EVELOPME N T AND PRODUCTION

The C ompany is a iming to co m mence the development of the proj e ct and the production of magn e sium carbon a te rock as so o n as practic a ble. The Co m pany intend s to lodge a “ N otice of intent to min e ” with the Northern Territo r y Departmen t of Primary I n dustry and R e sources ver y shortly.

For th e purpose of t his study th e Company a s sumed that the funding for the project, completion of sales and/or offtakes of magn e sium carbonate rock, an d securing r e quired gov e rnmental an d regula t ory project a pprovals will take approximately 12-14 months. This assumptio n is based o n inform a tion obtaine d from our dis c ussions with the relevant c ounterparties.

Howe v er; investors should note that the actual timeframe of the devel o pment and p roduction will depen d on the act u al availabilit y of funding f o r the project, completion of sales and / or offtakes of magn e sium carbonate rock, se c uring required governm e ntal and re g ulatory proj e ct approvals, acces s to transport , and market factors such as magnesium carbonate rock prices, e nergy prices, foreig n exchange ra t es, etc. whic h are outside t he control of the Company.

The main use for m a gnesium ca r bonate rock i s in production of various t y pes of magnesium oxides. China and North K o rea control m ajority of the economically viable magn e sium carbo n ate resource s in the w orld. Global magnesium o xide market i s worth approximately US$ 6 0 billion. Th e main sector s where magnesium o xide is used include: refr a ctory bricks w hich are us e d to line the inside of ste e l and gl a ss furnaces and cement k ilns; producti o n of flame r e tardants; pro d uction of fir e resistant an d moisture resistant b uilding mat e rials like ma g wall, MgO board and m ag cement; production of magn e sium alloys used extens i vely in cars, airplanes, t a nks, APC-s and other d efence uses; hydro m etallurgy of c obalt and nic k el productio n ; water purifi c ation and soil treatment and feedstock.

The p o tential game changer is t h e recent dev e lopment of m agnesium-io n batteries w h ich have 8 t o 12 tim e s greater c a pacity than li t hium-ion bat t eries and can be charge d in as little as 36 minutes. Magn e sium-ion bat t ery's charge / discharge ef f iciency is 5 times higher than a lithiu m -ion battery. Anoth e r advantage o f magnesiu m -ion battery i s its ability to perform at te m peratures a s low as -30° C and a s high as +5 5 °C whereas lithium-ion b a tteries cease to function a t around -15°C. Addition a l benefi t of magnesi u m-ion batte r ies is that t h ey do not u se graphite and conseq u ently are not depen d ant on suppl y of this relati v ely expensiv e material.

The v a riety of uses a nd the relati v e size of the magnesium o xide, and ma g nesium allo y s markets ar e of obvious benefit t o magnesium carbonate ro c k producers. By tonnage c omparison, t h e magnesiu m oxide m arket is approximately 4 0 times bigger than the lithium carbonat e market and approximatel y 22 tim e s bigger tha n the graphite market.
