During the quarter Korab Group continued exploration and evaluation of its mineral assets, as well as the progression of the Winchester magnesium deposit to production.
Following the end of the quarter, in response to the ASX query, the Company reported that it is in discussions with magnesium metal users and magnesium buyers, including car makers (Fiat and Daimler), and aluminium/magnesium alloy producers regarding potential supply of magnesium metal from Korab Group’s Winchester magnesium project located near Darwin in the Northern Territory. The Company noted that no commercial terms have been agreed between the parties, the discussions are incomplete, and there can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached or that any transaction will eventuate from these discussions. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information. As the discussions mentioned above are at an early stage and are incomplete any announcement of the details of these discussions would be premature and speculative.
The Company further advised that is internally assessing the use of two solar farms adjacent to the Winchester project (Batchelor 1, and Batchelor 2) that have a combined capacity of 22MW as the energy supplier to the project with the view to Winchester becoming a “zero-carbon” magnesium project. The Company noted that no discussions have been commenced with the owners and operators of the two solar farms pending the completion of the internal assessment.
The Company also noted recent media articles and TV news stories regarding a threat of an imminent halt to global car production due to depletion of stockpiles of magnesium metal used as alloying element in production of aluminium alloys, which are then used extensively in car production. According to these articles, the shortage of magnesium metal is caused by severe cuts to magnesium production by China, which accounts for close to 90% of global magnesium metal production. These cuts have led to magnesium metal price rising from approximately $2,000 per tonne in October 2020 to approximately $3,200 per tonne in September 2021, and $11,000 per tonne in October 2021. Shortages of magnesium metal are likely to persist into the future according to statements published in Chinese state-owned media on Friday 29 October 2021.
The Company pointed further to Korab Group previous reports in various Quarterly Activity, Annual, and other reports that:
- Korab Group is working on the development of the Winchester magnesium deposit which is located an hour’s drive from port of Darwin with access to shipping lanes to Europe, USA, and Asia.

Also following the end of the quarter on 28 October 2021, Korab undertook a capital raising by way of a placement of shares to sophisticated and other exempt investors to raise $1.9 Million at 5.5 cents per share. The placement was heavily oversubscribed and closed within 4 hours after the initial announcement of the placement to the market with Korab receiving firm bids from brokers and investor for in excess of $4.3 Million worth of shares. Placement shares were issue the same day, on 28 October 2021. Placement funds will be used to continue exploration and development work on Korab’s mineral assets, for general working capital purposes and to retire debt. The work on Korab’s mineral assets will focus initially on the Winchester magnesium deposit and Sundance gold mine.
WINCHESTER MAGNESIUM PROJECT (RUM JUNGLE MINERAL FIELD, NT)
DRILLING CAMPAIGN
As a result of the recently completed, heavily oversubscribed capital raising, the Company plans to accelerate the drilling campaign aimed at aggressive resource expansion at Korab Group’s Winchester magnesium deposit. Drilling program will consist of up to 77 RC and diamond core drill holes for a total of up to 6,000 meters. This drilling campaign will target:
-
Areas outside the current magnesium open pit envelope to in-fill the space between the high density drill-holes that form the basis of the current mineral resource estimate and the multiple lines of RC drilling that were completed in the past and that were not included in the estimation of mineral resource due to the distance between collars.
-
Areas within the current magnesium open pit envelope to increase the drilling density.
Winchester magnesium deposit is covered by 3-6 meters of overburden consisting of loose clay and gravel. Massive magnesite mineralisation of high grade magnesite commences immediately below the overburden (Figure 3).
DISCUSSIONS REGARDING POTENTIAL JOINT VENTURES, OFFTAKES, AND FUNDING
In the recent quarterly report Korab Group advised the market that it has received an unsolicited approach from an Australian proprietary company which expressed an interest Winchester project. It was noted that the other party advised Korab Group that their interest in the project stems from the high quality of the deposit and its potential to serve as a source of the raw material (magnesium carbonate) for the production of magnesium metal. The discussions with the other party are ongoing but are incomplete and confidential. No commercial terms have been agreed between the parties. There can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached with the other party or that any transaction will eventuate. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information.

During the quarter, Korab group has been approached by yet another unrelated party with an unsolicited proposal to enter into an agreement to jointly develop the Winchester quarry where the other party will fully fund the development in exchange for sharing the future profits from the quarry. No commercial terms have been agreed between the parties. There can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached with the other party or that any transaction will eventuate. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information.
Following the end of the quarter, Korab reported in response to ASX query that it is in discussions with magnesium metal users and magnesium buyers, including car makers (Fiat and Daimler), and aluminium/magnesium alloy producers regarding potential supply of magnesium metal from Winchester. No commercial terms have been agreed between the parties. There can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached with the other party or that any transaction will eventuate. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information. As the discussions mentioned above are at an early stage and are incomplete any announcement of the details of these discussions would be premature and speculative.
Following the end of the quarter, the Australian Government established the $2 billion Critical Minerals Facility (which is managed by Export Finance Australia) to finance production of magnesium metal (among other critical minerals). The Government also announced reforms to the Northern Australia Infrastructure Facility (NAIF) to enable provision of finance to projects like Winchester magnesium project. Korab Group has already commenced discussions with NAIF and intends to commence discussions with Export Finance Australia in November 2021.
PERMITTING
During the earlier quarter, on 15 July 2020, Korab reported that following the amendments to environmental assessment legislation and our discussions with the NT Department of Primary Industry and Resources and the NT Environmental Protection Agency it has been determined that the Notice of Intent to mine (NOI) for the Winchester quarry is no longer required. Korab further advised that as a consequence, Korab Group will be proceeding directly to prepare and submit to the NT Department of Industry, Tourism, and Trade (formerly Department of Primary Industry and Resources) the Mine Management Plan for Winchester quarry (MMP).
The work completed to date on the NOI is being used in the preparation of the MMP and will be useful in the development and the management of the Winchester quarry. Korab Group continues to work on the MMP with the aim of completing it as soon as possible. The process of MMP preparations is complex and in addition to the design of the start-up quarry, requires addressing issues relating to potential future expansion of the project and its related logistics and infrastructure.
In essence, the mine, site infrastructure, and plant layout would be very simple and rudimentary if Winchester project was to be operated as a DSO quarry which does not require any on-site mineral processing (other than crushing, screening, and sorting).
The mine, mining schedule, site infrastructure, and plant layout would be quite different and much more complex if Winchester project was expanded to include a kiln and a smelter and if it was to be operated as a magnesium metal producer.
The MMP, which we are working on, should allow for this potential expansion to be accomplished with a minimum disruption to the ongoing DSO quarry operation and without the necessity to relocate the mine infrastructure including the pit access ramps, ROM pads, stockpiles, waste dumps, internal roads, plant site, etc.
MMP development also includes “quarantining” of certain zones of the project area to ensure that the infrastructure does not end up “sitting” on top of the potential valuable mineral resource.
The work on the MMP has continued through the quarter and has progressed well. However, there are still some aspects of the quarry operation that need to be revised and consequently, Korab Group

ABOUT WINCHESTER MAGNESIUM CARBONATE PROJECT
The proposed Winchester magnesium mine is located 2 km from the regional centre of Batchelor some 70km south of Darwin along Stuart Highway. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 for details of the location of the proposed Winchester magnesium carbonate quarry, and Korab Group’s various mineral tenements in the area.
Deposit is at shallow depth (3-6 meters below surface) and is covered by a thin layer of unconsolidated clay and gravel. See the photo in Figure 3 which shows the test mining of the Winchester magnesium deposit conducted in the middle of the wet season.
For the mineral resource statement and the Competent Person statement in respect of the Winchester Project please refer to page 53 of “KORAB RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021”, copy of which is available from the ASX announcement platform and from Korab’s website.

Magnesite rock (after it has been converted to magnesium oxide) is primarily used in the making of refractory linings necessary for the production of steel, cement, and glass. Other main uses of magnesium oxides and other magnesium compounds are in production of magnesium metal which is then used in production of aluminium/magnesium high-strength light-weight alloys used in car making and aerospace. Other uses are in water purification, nickel and cobalt metallurgy, cattle feed, direct energy conversion technologies, and rechargeable and single-use batteries.
China plans to increase the use of magnesium metal in cars from 8.5Kg/car to 45Kg/car in the near term. Between 2000 and 2021, China’s control over global magnesium production increased from 12% of the global supply to 87% of global magnesium supply, creating an effective international monopoly on a 1.2 million tonnes per annum market. The situation is even more dramatic in Europe where China supplies over 95% of magnesium metal. Recent cuts to production of magnesium and its exports by Chinese government resulted in the magnesium metal price increasing from approximately $2,000 per tonne in October 2020 to approximately $3,200 per tonne in September 2021, and $11,000 per tonne in October 2021. After prices have begun increasing few weeks ago and after several magnesium alloy producers started warning their car-making clients that they may not be able to supply them with required aluminium/magnesium alloys, multiple print, TV, and internet media sources reported that the major car makers in Europe warn of imminent halt to global car production due to depletion of stockpiles of magnesium metal.
As reported by Korab in investor presentations previously lodged with ASX, Winchester magnesium project is capable of supplying magnesium metal after it completed many years ago full production cycle which included:
-
Mining of magnesite (Figure 3)
-
Calcining of the magnesite to produce magnesium oxide
-
Building a pilot plant (Figure 4)
-
Producing magnesium metal and slug from magnesium oxide in the pilot plant (Figure 5)
-
Refining the magnesium metal to saleable product
This full production cycle has allowed for the generation and collection of the full data set covering mining, crushing, calcining, metallurgy, smelting, and refining. This complete data set was bought by Korab when it acquired Winchester project. Possession of this data potentially could allow Korab Group to move the Winchester magnesium project to production at a faster pace than it would be possible if all these tests were required to be completed by Korab.

Availability of this data also makes Winchester magnesium project one of the most advanced magnesium projects that are currently under development. Location of the Winchester magnesium deposit (an hour’s driving distance from Darwin port, Figure 1 and Figure 2), potential to use easy and cheap open-cut drill and blast, truck and shovel mining method, very thin overburden (Figure 3), and the proximity to transport infrastructure and power (Figure 6), make together Korab’s Winchester project the best magnesium project in the world outside China and North Korea.
Winchester project waited for development for 2 decades primarily because of low magnesium prices prevailing between 2000 and 2020 (between $1,300/t and 2,000/t) and low magnesium oxide prices (CCM and DBM) during this period. These depressed prices were caused by rapid growth in Chinese production capacity of both magnesium metal and magnesium oxides, with supply growth outstripping the growth in demand. This has made the development of Winchester not feasible until few years ago when prices of magnesite and magnesium oxides markedly improved. Over the recent years, an increasing number of car makers moved to using aluminium/magnesium alloys instead of steel to reduce their vehicles’ weight and magnesium demand growth started outstripping supply growth. Few years ago China started shutting down or severely curtailing production at magnesite quarries. Then it moved to cutting production at calcination plants producing magnesium oxides including CCM and DBM, and finally the magnesium smelters became the target of shut downs. This has led to magnesium metal market moving into critical shortage phase.
BATCHELOR/GREEN ALLIGATOR POLYMETALLIC PROJECT (RUM JUNGLE MINERAL FIELD, NT)
During the quarter Korab continued exploration and evaluation of Batchelor/Green Alligator project with particular focus on its potential to host commercially viable mineralisation of gold, copper, zinc, lead, cobalt, nickel, iron ore, graphite, and other minerals. No reportable exploration results (as the term is defined in the section 18 of the 2012 JORC code) were generated. Korab has also continued discussions with third parties regarding potential JV’s to explore the project for various commodities.

Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information. The Sundance gold mine is located on granted mining leases MLN542 and MLN543 (100% owned by Korab). In addition to the planned Winchester RC and DD drilling campaign, the Company also plans an auger drilling program at Sundance gold mine to test the grade of the stockpiles of previously mined rock located at Sundance.
GEOLSEC ROCK PHOSPHATE PROJECT (RUM JUNGLE MINERAL FIELD, NT)
During the quarter Korab Group focused on other mineral assets and consequently exploration work at the Geolsec project was limited. An unrelated company (the Miner), is sub-leasing the Geolsec phosphate project from Korab Group (as reported to the market on 25 July 2018). As reported previously, Korab Group received from the Miner an expression of interest to purchase the whole of the Geolsec phosphate project from Korab Group. The discussions regarding the potential sale of the Geolsec project are incomplete and confidential and there can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached or that any sale transaction will eventuate. No commercial terms have been agreed between the parties for the sale of the Geolsec project. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information.
