About South Harz
South Harz is a potash exploration and development company with its flagship project located in the historic South Harz Potash District region of Germany, midway between Frankfurt and Berlin.
The South Harz Project hosts a globally large-scale potash JORC (2012) Mineral Resource estimate of 258 million tonnes at 13.2% K2O of Indicated Resources and 5.1 billion tonnes at 10.6% K2O of Inferred Resources across four wholly-owned project areas located favourably within central Europe. This comprises three perpetual potash mining licences, Ohmgebirge, Ebeleben and Mühlhausen-Nohra, and two potash exploration licences, Küllstedt and Gräfentonna.
The flagship Ohmgebirge Development (1.0 Mtpa potash capacity) was the subject of a positive PreFeasibility Study (PFS) and maiden Ore Reserve declaration in May 2024. As part of that process, South Harz also agreed non-binding key terms for the purchase of the neighbouring Sollstedt mine property, which includes extensive underground and surface infrastructure (including multiple operating shafts). The envisaged brownfield development of Ohmgebirge (as facilitated by the Sollstedt mine) delivers significantly lower pre-production capital expenditure and surface footprint (relative to the greenfield alternatives).
South Harz also received the Spatial Planning Assessment for Ohmgebirge in June 2024, a key step in the permitting process which confirmed the compatibility of all submitted site options with regional planning requirements.
