STRONG CONFIRMATORY RESULTS FROM SECOND OHMGEBIRGE DRILLHOLE
-
Assay results from second Ohmgebirge confirmatory drill hole (OHM-01) return key intercept of 3.75m at an average grade of 16.19% K2O.
-
Confirms potash intersection with similar thickness, depth and tenor to historical drillhole that was being twinned by OHM-01.
-
Work on updating the Ohmgebirge Mineral Resource estimate has commenced and Scoping Study completion remains scheduled for early Q3 2022.
South Harz Potash Limited (ASX:SHP) ( South Harz or the Company ) is pleased to announce initial assay results from the recently completed drillhole, OHM-01, located within the Ohmgebirge Mining Licence ( Ohmgebirge ) area of its South Harz Potash Project. Results returned to date are summarised in the table below. Assay results from the lower section of the drillhole are still pending.
| Intercepted sections | From (m) |
To (m) |
Apparent thickness (m) |
K2O wt. avg % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upper Mineralised section | 775.05 | 778.80 | 3.75 | 16.19 |
| Lower Mineralised section | 787.67 | 795.19 | 7.52 | pending |
Drillhole OHM-01 was completed to a depth of 807.91m to fully penetrate the known Staßfurt Potash Horizon (z2KSt). It was designed to twin and validate the results of the historic drillhole, Kal Ktf 5/83, which recorded a potash intercept from 785.2m to 788.2m (3.0 m thickness) with an historic reported grade of 12.4% K2O (see SHP ASX announcement dated 23 December 2019[[1]] ).
OHM-01 was drilled approximately 100m north of the historic drillhole. It intercepted the top of the highgrade potash horizon from 775.05m down to a depth of 778.80m, a total apparent thickness of 3.75m. A comprehensive assay suite comprising wet ICP and XRD analyses has identified a high grade Anhydritic Hartsalz returning an average intercept grade of 16.9% K2O. A second lower grade potash zone with a higher abundance of kieserite[2] (MgSO4·H2O) was identified from 787.67m to 795.19m downhole, with assay results still pending.
Drilling and assay of core from these two confirmatory drillholes is intended to allow South Harz to upgrade a substantial proportion of the current Ohmgebirge JORC (2012) Inferred Mineral Resource estimate to the Indicated category. Following receipt of the key assay results from both OHM-02 and OHM-01, work has now commenced on updating the Ohmgebirge Mineral Resource estimate. Subject to concurrent and satisfactory advancement of all modifying factors, this is expected to allow the release of a comprehensive Scoping Study (a preliminary technical and economic assessment) for Ohmgebirge in early Q3 2022.
South Harz Acting Executive Chairman, Ian Farmer, commented: “ We are pleased to announce the assay results returned from the high-grade potash section of our second confirmatory drillhole at Ohmgebirge, OHM-01. Similar to our first confirmatory hole, OHM-02, the results show excellent correlation with the nearby historic drillhole. We have now effectively validated historic results at Ohmgebirge from both the initial drilling campaign conducted in the early 1900’s and the extensive drilling campaign carried out by the GDR from the 1960’s through to the 1980’s.

APPENDIX 1 - OHM-01 Drilling & Sampling
==> picture [132 x 60] intentionally omitted <==
The Ohmgebirge mining licence is located in the Südharz (South Harz) Potash District in the north-western extent of the Thuringian sedimentary basin. The Permian-aged Zechstein Group hosts the potash horizon, z2KSt, which occurs across the majority of the Ohmgebirge licence and has been historically intersected in 35 drill holes.
OHM-01 is a twin hole of historical drill hole Kal Ktf 5/83 located approximately 100 m to the north of the original collar position. Historic drillhole Kal Ktf 5/83 recorded a potash intercept from 785.2m to 788.2m (3.0 m thick) with an historic reported grade of 12.4% K2O. The recently drilled confirmatory drillhole, OHM01, intercepted the top of the high grade potash horizon at a slightly shallower depth of 775.05m down to a depth of 778.80m, a total apparent thickness of 3.75m. The high grade Anhydritic Hartsalz potash horizon from drillhole OHM-01 returned a potash grade of 16.19% K2O. The two holes are considered to be comparable. A second lower grade potash zone with a higher abundance of Kieserite (MgSO4·H2O), Langbeinite (K2Mg2(SO4)3) and Polyhalite (K2Ca2Mg(SO4)4·2H2O) was identified down hole from 787.67m to 795.19m. This zone was also identified in the historic drillhole Kal Ktf 5/83 though problems with core recovery from this historic drillhole did not allow for accurate mineralogical and grade definition. Core recovery in the new drillhole OHM-01 was 100% thus enabling the company to better evaluate this lower zone. Assay results from samples collected from this lower zone are still pending.
Drilling of OHM-02 began on 16[th] March 2022 and was completed on 14[th] May 2022. The hole was destructively drilled from surface down to 720.0m at which depth the method was switched over to core drilling. Casing, ranging in size starting at 711 mm to 127 mm, was installed from surface down to a depth of 720m to seal off the z4ANb-z7 horizon and the overlying units. OHM-01 was drilled by H. Anger's Söhne using a UH4-2 rig type using bentonite mud for the upper sections and magnesium chloride rich mud in the coring sections. The basal anhydrite unit was intersected at a depth of 807.29m and drilled for 0.62m, this unit forms a barrier to any groundwater flow beneath. Drill hole OHM-01 has a final end depth of 807.91m and a total z2KSt thickness of 20.14m.
The upper section of the drillhole was completed using a percussion drill bit and produced rock chips. The chips were logged on site and have not been sampled. The core retrieved from 720.41m was logged on a millimeter scale. Core recovery was monitored by the Ercosplan project geologist on site at the time of drilling and is recorded in the drill hole log. Core recovery was 100% throughout the entire core section except for 1 zone of total core loss between 720.0m and 720.41m (41cm). Core recoveries through the target potash z2KSt unit were 100%. Core recovery is not expected to have affected grade.
Downhole geophysics was performed by BLM Gesellschaft für Bohrlochmessung mbH and the geological drill hole logs were corrected according to the geophysical depths. Various downhole measurements were taken including salinity (ST16), temperature (ST16), calliper (CARI, CAL4017), gamma-ray (GRFEL, TA.ORI), gamma-gamma (GRFEL, TA.ORI), neutron and sonic.
Sampling was conducted according to the stratigraphic interpretation of the core using the downhole geophysical logging as a depth guide. Core sampling was conducted according to ISO standards: DIN EN ISO 14688-1; DIN EN ISO 14688-2; DIN EN ISO 14689-1 and DIN EN ISO 22475-1. Core samples were geologically logged in detail. Information recorded on the drill hole logs included lithological depths lithological description, stratigraphic interpretation, structural measurements and colour. Photographs were taken of all rock chips and core samples, including backlit core photography (Photos 1 and 2).
Drill core was cut longitudinally for sample selection and half core samples were analysed. A total of 84 samples were collected covering the entire z2Kst horizon and blank samples collected from within the barren halite units. The samples were scheduled to be analysed in two phases, with the first 25 samples collected from the higher grade potash zone given higher priority with the results presented in this announcement. Results for the second set of lower priority samples are pending.

Sample preparation and analysis was carried out in the accredited laboratory of K-Utec Salt Technologies (DIN EN ISO/EC 17025). Analysis followed the German standard methods for the examination of water, waste water and sludge (89th edition, Wiley-VCH/Beuth, Weinheim/Berlin, 2013). Samples were crushed to 1-2mm and then milled to µ50 before being dried in the laboratory furnace at 400°C. Samples were homogenised to ensure a representative sample obtained. 19 blank samples were included in the sample analysis, out of a total of 84 samples. 5 duplicate samples have been sent from the first batch of samples to the umpire laboratory VKTA in Dresden, Germany; results are not available at the time of writing. Thicknesses of the potash-bearing horizons were confirmed by the geophysical logging and the full length of the potash was sampled.
The potash seam at Ohmgebirge is horizontal to sub-horizontal on a regional scale and the vertical core drilling is considered appropriate to represent the seam without bias. Drillhole OHM-01 intercepted the top of the high grade z2KSt potash seam from 775.05m down to a depth of 778.80m, a total apparent thickness of 3.75m. Interpretation of the wet chemical and XRD analyses has identified a single high grade mineralised potash horizon comprising mainly Sylvite with subordinate Anhydrite, Kieserite and minor Carnallite. Lower grade mineralisation with Sylvite, Anhydrite, Kieserite, Langbeinite and Carnallite is evident in the lower sections of the z2KSt member and which will be interpreted when results are available from the second batch of samples from the lab.
Historic drillhole Kal Ktf 5/83, which was drilled in 1983, recorded potash within the z2KSt potash seam from a depth of 785.2m to 788.2m (3.0 m thick) with an historic reported grade of 12.42% K2O. Corelation between the new drillhole OHM-02 is considered to be good (Figure 2). The difference in thickness, and subsequently the weighted average K2O (%) grade is considered to be due to localised variation in mineral assemblages, which is common in potash deposits of the region. The elevation drop of approximately 10m over a 100m distance is in line with the assumed dip of the potash seam at Ohmgebirge and compares with geological dips seen in the adjacent historic mines.

| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
Samples were derived from drill core, which was split in half longitudinally. OHM-01 was drilled using a combination of destructive and diamond core techniques, only the diamond drill core was analysed. |

| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Sample thicknesses were correlated and corrected against the downhole natural gamma log. Wet chemical analysis was performed on half drill core. Sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium were analysed using ICP-OES in dilutions of the solved sample (DIN EN ISO 11885). Sulphur content was determined by ICP-OES in a dilution of the solved sample (DIN EN ISO 11885). Chloride was determined by automatic potentiometric titration with a Silver nitrate solution (DIN 38405 part 1). The K2O grade of the potash-bearing horizons was determined from the stoichiometric calculation using the analysed elements. Sampling was carried out by Ercosplan geologists and lithological contacts were honoured. Samples were taken across all potash-bearing horizons and the total sampled length represents the total thickness of the potash-bearing horizon of the z2KSt. Core sample thickness in OHM-01 range from 0.18 m to 0.62 m with an average sample length of 0.38 m. Sample preparation and analysis was carried out in the accredited laboratoryof K-Utec Salt |

All drill holes were destructively drilled from surface and were switched to coring in the z4ANa horizon. OHM-01 was drilled by H. Anger's Söhne using a UH4- 2 rig type using bentonite mud for the upper sections and magnesium rich mud in the core sections. The drill hole diameter is 95.8mm. Casing was used from surface to 718.6 m ranging in size starting at 711 mm to 127 mm. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Core recovery was monitored by the Ercosplan project geologist on site at the time of drilling and this is recorded in the drill hole log. Within the core section of the drill hole recoveries were 100% apart from a 41cm of core loss between 720.00 and 720.41m Core recoveries through the z2KSt unit were 100%. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Casing was used as follows: 0.00–16.80m auxiliary surface pipe (outside- Ø=711mm), 0.00–39.00m standpipe (outside- Ø=508mm), 0.00–129m standpipe (outside- Ø=340mm), 0.00–474.00m anchor tube (outside- Ø=178mm), 0.00–718.6m technical pipe (outside- Ø=127mm). |

With the exception of the recently drilled OHM-02 and OHM-01, all of the exploration conducted on Ohmgebirge is historical. According to historical reports, exploration commenced within the Ohmgebirge mining licence in 1894 for potash including cored drill holes and downhole geophysics. The area around the Ohmgebirge mining licence is a well known potash-bearing area and is adjacent to the now closed Bischoferrode and the Bleicherode/Sollstedt Mines that are currently being backfilled with waste. After initial exploration in the early 1900s exploration recommenced on Ohmgebirge in earnest in the 1960's and all of the exploration drilling was conducted by the former GDR. Various parties were involved, most of which combined to form VEB Kombinat. A total of 14 historical exploration drillholes(includingone |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Ohmgebirge mining licence is located in the Südharz (South Harz) Potash District in the north- western extent of the Thuringian sedimentary basin, which has been separated by the uplift of the northerly Harz Mountains from the South Permian Basin (SPB). The regional stratigraphy of the South Permian Basin is fairly well understood with a pre- Variscan basement (Upper Carboniferous and older rocks) and a transition horizon of Upper Carboniferous to Lower Permian lying beneath an expansive sequence of evaporite rocks of the Upper Permian succession. These evaporite deposits are assigned to the Zechstein Group, and host the target potash mineralisation of the South Harz Potash District which occurs on the Ohmgebirge mining licence. The potash-bearing target Zechstein Group consists of seven depositional cycles with the potash mineralisation of the South Harz Potash District hosted within the second cycle, the Staßfurt Formation (Z2). The Z2 is further sub-divided into horizons, of which the Kaliflöz Staßfurt (z2KSt) hosts potentially economic potash. The z2KSt is split into a Hanging Wall Group that has 11 to 19 horizons of finely layered potassium salts and a Footwall Group that has 1 to 10 coarsely layered potassium salts and thick halite layers. Mineralised z2KSt occurs across almost the whole of the Ohmgebirge mining licence, with an area to the west that is barren. The z2KSt is present in 35 drill holes used in the 2019 Ohmgebirge model, 12 of which exist within the licence area. The mineralogy on Ohmgebirge is dominated by Sylvinite with carnallite intersected in only one hole within the licence area. The sylvite seam was modelled as one horizon, and was historical known as Sylvinite, and the carnallite seam was modelled separately. A major graben has been historically mapped within the Ohmgebirge mining licence trending NNE-SSW with offsets of 150-250m. The results of the graben have been logged in the downhole geophysical logs of drill holes on Ohmgebirge with noted steeper bedding, dipping joints and deformation in the strata |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: |
The drill hole database for Ohmgebirge is made up of 41 historical drill holes and the recently drilled OHM- 02 and OHM-01. The table below shows the key drill hole information for OHM-01 and its historical twin, Ktf 5/83. Information regarding the historical database can be found in SHP press release dated 23rd December 2019. |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut- off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
The chemical analysis for Ohmgebirge was composited according to stratigraphy (z2KSt). A minimum cut-off grade of 5% K2O was applied to delineate the limits of the potash-bearing horizon within the z2KSt. A weighted average K2O grade was calculated against sample length. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
Waste was included in the grade composite with a 2 m maximum total length of waste and a 1 m maximum consecutive length of waste allowed. |
|
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalents were used or reported. |

| Relationship between mineralisatio n widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
All drill holes are vertical with minor deviations at depth. The potash-bearing horizons are regionally sub-horizontal with localise folds and undulations. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill-hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
||
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |

| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
OHM-01 intersected a 3.75 m intersection of the mineralised z2KSt potash horizon with an average grade of 16.19% K2O. An additional potash seam was also intersected below this horizon but the analytical results are still pending. The total z2KSt horizon has a thickness of 20.14m. |
