For the quarter ended 30 June 2021, Korab recorded a positive operating cashflow of approximately $115,000 on the back of the received cash revenue of approximately $160,000. Korab also recorded positive total relevant cash outgoings (i.e. a net cash inflow)[1] of approximately $67,000 after cash payments for capitalised exploration and evaluation expenses of approximately $48,000.

For the financial year ended 30 June 2021, Korab recorded a positive operating cashflow of approximately $326,000, on the back of the received cash revenue of approximately $523,000. For the financial year ended 30 June 2021 Korab recorded positive total relevant cash outgoings (i.e. a net cash inflow) of approximately $131,000 after cash payments for capitalised exploration and evaluation expenses of approximately $195,000.

Korab Group is very pleased with these financial results. The positive operating cashflow for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 was achieved despite the overall difficult operating environment caused by various government restrictions and delays related to Covid-19. Furthermore, these results were achieved by Korab Group without relying on any government assistance payments.

WINCHESTER MAGNESIUM CARBONATE PROJECT (RUM JUNGLE MINERAL FIELD, NT)

As reported to the market on 12 September 2018 and in subsequent report on 5 April 2019, Korab Group plans to develop the Winchester project (located near Darwin in the Northern Territory) as a quarry operation. The Company aims to produce raw magnesium carbonate rock which will then be crushed, screened, and sorted on-site prior to transfer to Darwin Port at East Arm, which is located approximately 90km by road from the project.

The Company intends for a part of the output from the quarry to be sold as an un-processed magnesium carbonate (DSO) and a part of the output to be sent for off-site processing into magnesium oxide in the form of high-grade and low-grade caustic calcined magnesia (CCM), and dead burned magnesia (DBM).

It is planned that this off-site processing would be undertaken by means of toll-treatment in kilns owned by third-parties. Thus the off-site production of CCM and DBM would not require additional capital investment.

Whilst Korab Group’s work (that was not related to exploration or evaluation) has been focusing on the permitting for the development of the Winchester magnesium carbonate quarry to supply ore for DSO sales (as well as for potential off-site processing into DBM and CCM) the Company has

continued to monitor the progress of new developments in the sectors of magnesium metal production, direct nuclear-to-electric energy conversion, and rechargeable or single-use batteries.

These new technologies monitored by Korab Group rely on magnesium oxides (or other magnesium compounds) to achieve their objectives and consequently it is our belief that these developments may have a significant positive impact on the future demand for magnesium carbonate.

We note that some of these technologies are at a “pilot plant” stage; however, some of them have already entered commercial production, primarily for use in the defence, aerospace, and energy generation/storage sectors.

DISCUSSIONS REGARDING POTENTIAL SALE OR JOINT VENTURE

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 parties are still discussing various potential transactions, including a potential sale of a part, or the whole of the Winchester project.

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.

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 (as the other party mentioned above is interested in doing).

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 is not in a position at this point in time to provide temporal guidance regarding the anticipated timing of the completion and the lodgment of the MMP. Korab Group will advise the market once the MMP for the Winchester quarry has been completed and lodged.

DISCUSSIONS REGARDING OFFTAKES FOR RAW MATERIALS, CCM, AND DBM

During and following the end of the quarter, Korab Group continued discussions and negotiations with various parties including trading houses, refractory ceramics producers, other potential buyers of magnesium carbonate rock, CCM, and DBM, as well as kiln operators, and equipment suppliers.

Discussions with interested parties are ongoing but are incomplete and details are confidential. There can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached or that any transaction will eventuate from these discussions.

ABOUT WINCHESTER MAGNESIUM CARBONATE PROJECT

The proposed Winchester magnesium carbonate quarry is located 2 km from the regional centre of Batchelor some 70km south of Darwin along Stuart Highway. Please refer to Figure 1 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 and is covered by a thin layer (few meters) of unconsolidated clay and gravel. See the photo in Figure 2 which shows the test mining of the Winchester magnesium carbonate deposit conducted in the middle of the wet season. Winchester magnesium carbonate rock can be quarried using a simple drill and blast, shovel, and truck method.

Magnesium carbonate 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 water purification, nickel and cobalt metallurgy, cattle feed, production of high-strength light-weight metal alloys, direct energy conversion technologies, and rechargeable and single-use batteries.

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 2020”, copy of which is available from the ASX announcement platform and from Korab’s website.

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.

SUNDANCE GOLD MINE (RUM JUNGLE MINERAL FIELD, NT)

The Company has continued work on re-opening the Sundance gold mine located south of Darwin in the Northern Territory and on treating the rock (which has been stockpiled on the mining leases) at the processing plant owned by a third party. Discussions with third parties are ongoing but are

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).

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). During the quarter Korab continued to receive an income from the Miner in respect of this project ($160,000 was received during the quarter ended 30 June 2021).

As reported previously, Korab Group received from the Miner an expression of interest to purchase the whole of the Geolsec 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

BOBRIKOVO GOLD AND SILVER MINE (UKRAINE)

During the quarter, Korab continued discussions with parties interested in acquiring mineral assets located in eastern Ukraine regarding a potential sale, or a joint venture development of the Bobrikovo project. The discussions regarding the Bobrikovo project are incomplete and confidential and there can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached or that any transaction will eventuate. No commercial terms have been agreed between the parties. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information.

For the mineral resource statement and the Competent Person statement in respect of the Bobrikovo Project please refer to pages 53 and 54 of “KORAB RESOURCES LIMITED AND CONTROLLED ENTITIES ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020”, copy of which is available from the ASX announcement platform and from Korab’s website.

MT. ELEPHANT PROJECT (ASHBURTON MINERAL FIELD, WA)

During the quarter, Korab Group continued the exploration and evaluation of the Mt. Elephant project exploration licences E08/2307, E52/2724, E08/2756, and E08/2757, focusing primarily on their gold, iron ore, and base metals potential. No reportable exploration results (as the term is defined in the section 18 of the 2012 JORC code) were generated. Mt. Elephant project consists of four granted exploration licences and three exploration licence applications (for details refer to Appendix A).

As previously advised on 31 July 2020, Korab Group is in discussions with Great Fingall Mining Company NL (GFMC) regarding a potential option for GFMC to acquire the four exploration licences and three exploration licence applications which comprise the Mt. Elephant Project. The discussions regarding the Mt. Elephant project are incomplete and confidential and there can be no certainty that any agreement or agreements can be reached or that any transaction will eventuate. No commercial terms have been agreed between the parties. Accordingly, no investment decision should be made on the basis of this information.
