Principal Activities
During the financial period the principal continuing activities of the consolidated entity consisted of investment in and development of mineral exploration assets.
Results of Operations
Total comprehensive loss for the six months ended 31 December 2021 was $3,484,268 (half-year ended 31 December 2020 (restated): $1,119,113). The increase in comprehensive loss was mainly driven by exploration expense with respect to the drilling of two confirmatory holes with the intention to upgrade the resource to a JORC compliant indicated resource at the Ohmgebirge site.
On 20 December 2021, the Company issued 40,666,668 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.12 each raising $4,880,000. On 21 December 2021, the Company issued a further 1,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.12 each raising a further $120,000. On 20 December 2021, the Company also issued 438,417 fully paid ordinary shares to its brokers Morgans in lieu of fees for services.
South Harz Potash Limited is developing a portfolio of potash projects in the South Harz region of Germany, encompassing 659km, with an inferred resource of 5.3 billion tonnes (grading 10.8% K2O) within the JORC Inferred category. It is contained within a well-defined potash basin which has been mined for fertiliser salts for over 100 years and South Harz Potash has identified at least four standalone projects within its portfolio. Its initial development focus is the Ohmgebirge project, as described later.

South Harz Potash Limited
The six-month period to 31 December 2021 saw the Company prepare to commence drilling at its inaugural Ohmgebirge site following receipt of the required permits from the Regional Authority, TLUBN. The Company’s intention is to drill two, confirmatory holes within the Ohmgebirge licence, in doing so, to elevate the resource status from the “Inferred” to “Indicated” category which will subsequently allow the release under ASX regulations of a technical and economic assessment of the project.
South Harz Potash Limited holds three perpetual mining licences, Ohmgebirge, Mühlhausen-Nohra and Ebeleben as well as two exploration licences Küllstedt and Gräfentonna (Figure 1).

The Company conducted an extensive evaluation of the three areas held under perpetual mining licences and identified four potential projects, viz. Ohmgebirge, Ebeleben, Mulhausen-Nohra and Nohra-Elende.

South Harz Potash Limited
Ohmgebirge
Following a detailed review of these four potential projects, the Company selected Ohmgebirge as the spearhead project owing to its relative shallowness (from 450m below surface), tonnage, grade (325 Mt grading 13.1% K2O)[1] , the licence area’s proximity to infrastructure including abandoned mines for future tailings disposal and to derelict industrial land from adjacent former potash mines. With the combination of these attributes, the Company has identified Ohmgebirge as the preferred location from which to initiate the development of its extensive South Harz potash field.
In accordance with the Competent Person recommendations[1,2,] the Company is planning to conduct the drilling of twin confirmatory holes within the Ohmgebirge area in order to verify the results from the historic drillholes used to calculate the Inferred resource already declared. It is intended that this will lead to a revised mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) where the majority of the inferred resource is upgraded to the Indicated category. This, in turn, will permit the completion of a technical and economic study by June 2022 and open the way for a definitive feasibility study in 2022/3.

South Harz Potash Limited
At time of writing, the Company has completed the drilling of its first confirmatory hole, OHM-02, and has constructed the drill pad for the second confirmatory hole at OHM-01 ready to commence drilling
General Activities
The Company has continued its Investor Relations programme in both Europe and Australia with the assistance of Alma PR, based in London and Fivemark Partners of Perth, Australia who were appointed in May CY2021. NWR Communications of Melbourne have been retained on a reduced basis to continue managing the website, mailing lists and social media platforms. Numerous investor presentations, webinars and video interviews were conducted during the reporting period and executives attended the “London 121” and “Mines and Money” events to further promote the Company.
The Directors agreed to bolster the operations team based in Germany and an executive search consultant was engaged to identify a Regional Manager who will control the administrative, ESG, permitting, media and political activities in the Thuringia capital, Erfurt. At time of writing an incumbent has been appointed. [Expand to introduce Babette Winter as per press release]
Market update
The potash market, which was depressed during the previous two years, has demonstrated a significant turnaround as agricultural nations respond to post-COVID food security fears and previously low fertilizer applications. The significant rise in potash volume demand, predicted to reach a record level of 72 Mt during 2022, has ensured an extremely tight marketplace resulting in massive price increases as buyers seek to guarantee the restocking of depleted inventories. This is especially the case in China where 2022 contract price levels of US$ 590 per tonne MOP CFR were recently agreed with the Canadian selling organisation, Canpotex. This represents an unprecedented US$ 315 per tonne increase which other producers such as Uralkali and BPC have subsequently followed.
Other factors affecting the potash market are the recently imposed US and EU sanctions on Belarus whose logistic chain has been disrupted by the termination of an agreement with Lithuanian railways, forcing BPC to seek an alternative to the export of 11 Mt per annum typically handled by Klaipeda. Supply growth to Belarus losses will come mostly from Canada where Nutrien, Mosaic and K&S Bethune will benefit through new market opportunities in Brazil and China.
The impact of Russian sanctions is yet to be felt with Brazilian and Indian sales likely to be affected, but not those to China. While spot prices for granular MOP in Brazil are now reported at $1000 per tonne, this is unlikely to continue beyond 2024 at which time, both spot and contract prices are forecast to return to the sub-$400 level.
The gap between demand and production in Western Europe stands at approximately 2 Mt and is set to increase as K&S close older, less profitable operations in Germany and Norwegian NPK producers such as Yara look to find an alternative to Belarus imports on political grounds. Given the short logistic distances offered by the location of SHP’s projects relative to market and the emergence of resource nationalism, the outlook for South Potash as an emerging supplier in Europe remains good.

Finance Report
Since the Company has now commenced drilling activities at Ohmgebirge our expenses have increased from A$1m in the previous year’s interim report to A$ 3.4m in this report primarily driven by $1.7m of exploration expenditure in connection with the drilling.
Following the capital raise mentioned above in December the closing cash position at 31st December 2021 was A$10.5m. Options exercised in the 6 month period produced cash receipts of A$558,000.
The Group’s policy has been to capitalize all the exploration and evaluation costs in line with the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. The Company has now decided to charge all exploration and evaluation expenses to its profit or loss statement. Costs incurred in the original acquisition of its tenement rights of A$2m remain capitalized however. The Company is planning to prepare a detailed feasibility study on the future prospects and commercial development of its first project at Ohmgebirge. This study will enable the company to perform a review of the commercial value of those costs going forward. Once this study has been completed appropriate exploration costs will be capitalized into its carrying value. The Company is of the opinion that the above treatment results in more reliable and relevant information to users of the financial information.
Since this is a change in accounting policy, retrospective adjustment to the opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2020 and December 2020 comparative statement of profit or loss has been done. A summary of the impact on the financial statements is given below:
Impact of change in accounting policy
| Jun 21 Previously | Restated balance | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| disclosed | Adjustment | Jun 21 | |
| Non-current assets | |||
| Exploration and evaluation | 3,276,579 | 1,310,635 | 1,965,944 |
Matters Subsequent to The End of The Financial Period
The Company obtained a permit from the TLUBN to drill a second hole OHM1 at Ohmgebirge on 11 January 2022. It has completed drilling at the first hole at OHM2 at Ohmgebirge on March 1[st] 2022, and the drilling pad at the second hole OHM-01 has now also been completed ready for the commencement of drilling.
The Company has appointed Dr Babette Winter as Regional Manager for Thuringia based in Erfurt, as mentioned above. Dr Winter is a German national with a background in both technical and socio-political affairs. She holds a PhD in Chemistry from Westfaelische Wilhelms-University Mŭnster and has held key positions in public relations followed by a career in administration and politics, notably as Head of Environmental Policy Department within the Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, the Environment and Nature Conservation in Thŭringia. More recently, she served as Member of the European Parliament (MEP), was appointed to the Economic and Monetary Affairs Committee and was the Deputy Member in the Environment and Climate Change Committee. For more than five years, she served as State Secretary for European Affairs in the government of Thŭringia.

Since December 2021 until the writing of this report the Company has received a further A$1.4m in option conversion monies
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on the going-concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets and managing cash flow in line with available funds.
Based on the cash-flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, given the following:
-
The Consolidated entity has the ability to defer discretionary costs as and when required.
-
In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.
-
There are significant “in the money” options which will need to be converted to avoid their lapsing early next year and the Company has already received some significant conversions post the end of December.
Impact of Covid-19
The impact of the Coronavirus (COVIC-19) pandemic has not affected site operations adversely, however it has limited the travel of executives to Germany in order to conduct face-to-face meetings with relevant stakeholders.
With the current easing of travel restrictions and the success of EU vaccination programmes, it is unlikely that the risk of further disruption due to COVID will occur.
ESG and risk
South Harz Potash Limited aims to establish world-class ESG credentials and has published an ESG policy to this effect. Progress has been made in identifying an experienced consultancy to assist the Company in its construction of an ESG management system.
South Harz Potash Limited is at an early stage in the development of its significant potash resources in Thuringia state. Therefore, at this stage our focus in terms of environmental and social impact of our operations has been to engage with the local communities to give assurances on the potential impact of our operations. A full independent assessment will be carried out as part of our Defined Feasibility study due to commence in the next calendar year. This will also address health and safety issues, labour standards and environmental legislation compliance considerations, as well as confirm our carbon footprint and climate change review. Management and Directors will be attending an ESG workshop in order to further strengthen our ESG policies and our ESG performance which the Board keeps in strong focus to drive improvements where necessary. The Board’s focus is on our local communities, the safety of our staff, the protection of our environment, and good governance to protect our shareholders and our business going forward.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements 31 December 2021
Note 1. Significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation and accounting policies
These general-purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2021 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general-purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the change in accounting policy relating to the exploration and evaluation assets as explained below.
Change in accounting policy
The Group’s policy has been to capitalise all the exploration and evaluation costs in line with the requirements of AASB 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. A decision has been taken to change this accounting policy and charge the exploration and evaluation expenses to the statement of profit or loss. Costs incurred in the acquisition of tenements rights will be continue to be capitalised.
The Company is planning to prepare the detailed feasibility study (DFS) on the future prospects and commercial development of its first exploration project at Ohmgebirge. It is the Company’s intention to capitalise exploration costs into its development projects as appropriate once a DFS has been completed which will enable it to perform an informed review of the commercial value of those costs going forward.
Since this is a change in accounting policy, retrospective adjustment to the opening retained earnings as at 1 July 2020 and December 2020 comparative statement of profit or loss has been done. A summary of the impact on the financial statements is given below:

Exploration and evaluation assets-revised
It is the Group’s policy to capitalise the cost of acquiring rights to explore areas of interest. All other exploration and evaluation expenditure is charged against earnings as incurred and included as part of cash flows from operating activities.
The costs of acquisition are carried forward as an asset provided one of the following conditions is met:
-
a) Such costs are expected to be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
-
b) Exploration activities in the area of interest have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in relation to the area are continuing. When the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource have been demonstrated then any capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is reclassified as capitalised mine development. Prior to reclassification, capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment.
Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources is the search for mineral resources after the entity has obtained legal rights to explore in a specific area, as well as the determination of the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource.
Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditures is assessed separately for each ‘area of interest’ to determine whether expenditure is expensed as incurred or capitalised as an asset. An ‘area of interest’ is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit.
Pre-production costs are deferred as development costs until such time as the asset is capable of being operated in a manner intended by management. Capitalised expenses then become an active asset and are depreciated. Postproduction costs are recognised as a cost of production.
Capitalisation of development expenditure ceases once the mining property is capable of commercial production, at which point it is transferred into a separate mining asset.
Any development expenditure incurred once a mine property is in production is immediately expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income except where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity, in which case it is capitalized as property, plant and equipment.
Information used in the review process is rigorously tested to externally available information as appropriate.

Impairment
The carrying value of capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment at the cash generating unit level whenever facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the asset may exceed its recoverable amount.
An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Any impairment losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
New or amended accounting standards and interpretations adopted
The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
Going concern
For the half-year ended 31 December 2021, the consolidated entity incurred a total comprehensive loss of $3,484,268 (half-year ended 31 December 2020 (restated): $1,119,113) and incurred cash outflows from operations of $3,017,645 (half-year ended 31 December 2020: $618,043). As at 31 December 2021, the consolidated entity had accumulated losses of $15,184,053 (half-year ended 31 December 2020: $10,433,698).
On 20 December 2021, the Company issued 40,666,668 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.12 each raising $4,880,000. On 21 December 2021, the Company issued a further 1,000,000 shares at an issue price of $0.12 each raising a further $120,000. On 20 December 2021, the Company also issued 438,417 fully paid ordinary shares to its brokers Morgans in lieu of fees for services.
Directors are aware that additional capital would be required to meet operational costs and to advance the exploration projects. Having carefully assessed the uncertainties relating to the likelihood of securing additional funding and the consolidated entity’s ability to effectively manage its operations and working capital requirements, the directors believe that the consolidated entity will continue to operate as a going concern and that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis which assumes the realisation of assets and the extinguishment of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon the ability of the Company to secure funds by raising capital from equity markets and managing cash flow in line with available funds. These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Consolidated Entity to continue as a going concern.
Based on the cash-flow forecasts and other factors referred to above, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, given the following.
• The Consolidated entity has the ability to defer discretionary costs as and when required.
• In particular, given the Company’s history of raising capital to date, the directors are confident of the Company’s ability to raise additional funds as and when they are required.

South Harz Potash Limited
Should the Consolidated entity be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be required to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities other than in the normal course of business and at amounts different to those stated in the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or to the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and meet its debts as and when they fall due.
The half-year financial report does not include any adjustments to the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001 which has been given to the directors of the Company, would be the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s review report.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report which describes the events and/or conditions which give rise to the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibility of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility for the review of the financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
