OHMGEBIRGE PROJECT AND CORPORATE UPDATE

  • PFS on track for early Q2 CY2024 completion; commercial partnership discussions with Ohmgebirge neighbour, Deusa, continue to advance.

  • Company to implement a lower cost structure following PFS completion with focus on internal project optimisation.

  • Development permitting to be advanced in parallel with expected strengthening of global potash market conditions.

  • South Harz has granted due diligence access and entered discussions with another party on a potential commercial transaction.

  • Non-Executive Director, Seamus Cornelius, has stepped down from the South Harz Board in order to avoid potential conflicts.

South Harz Potash Limited (ASX:SHP) ( South Harz or the Company ) provides a corporate and project update on its flagship Ohmgebirge Potash Development ( Ohmgebirge ), located in central Germany.

The Ohmgebirge Pre-Feasibility Study ( PFS ) remains on track for completion and market release during early Q2 CY2024. In parallel, commercial partnership discussions with adjoining project and infrastructure owner, NDH-E/DEUSA International GmbH ( Deusa ), are progressing well. Successful delivery of a definitive agreement with Deusa for long-term shaft access and utilisation will enable implementation of the targeted brownfield development pathway for Ohmgebirge. This pathway offers substantial time, capital cost and footprint advantages versus greenfield shaft construction.

Following completion of the PFS, South Harz plans to enter a lower cost, internal project optimisation phase on Ohmgebirge. This decision has been taken as a function of current global potash market conditions, including cyclically depressed price levels, impacting on available opportunities for more rapid project advancement and financing.

The Company plans to systematically progress permitting on Ohmgebirge during this phase, allowing the project to steadily advance in this critical path area, and remain well positioned versus potash development competitors, alongside the expected re-strengthening in global potash market conditions over the next 12-24 months.

Ohmgebirge is a highly attractive new potash mine proposition across long-term global development and operating environments. As such, this planned optimization phase is also expected to provide the opportunity for ongoing value engineering processes to be undertaken on final PFS capital and operating cost outcomes, which are naturally expected to reflect the context of the present inflationary environment.

South Harz has also granted due diligence access and entered discussions with another party in respect of a potential commercial transaction. It should be noted, there is no assurance that any transaction will result from these discussions. As a result of this development, South Harz Non-Executive Director, Seamus Cornelius, has resigned from the South Harz Board in order to avoid any potential or perceived conflicts of interest.
