Davenport directors and management have experience in potash and other minerals in Western Europe, Australia, Middle East and Africa, with skills in finance, geology, project development and operations.
STRATEGIC LICENCE POSITION
-
➢ Davenport owns three perpetual mining licences and two exploration licences covering 659km[2 ] in the South Harz potash basin.
-
➢ Davenport’s licence footprint surrounds five historic mines that produced a total of 181Mt of potash (K2O) between 1971 & 1989, worth over $31B at today’s MOP prices.
-
➢ Extensive historic exploration with historic resources will allow evaluation to be fast tracked

MÜHLHAUSEN SUB-AREA HISTORIC RESOURCE
-
➢ Historic resource of 234 million tonnes at 14.4% K2O (33.8mt of K2O) of mixed potash salts (Hartsalz).
-
➢ Area of 53km[2] adjoining Davenport’s Küllstedt Licence
-
➢ Hartsalz comprises both potassium chloride and potassium sulphate amenable for both Muriate of Potash (MOP) and Sulphate of Potash (SOP) production.

EBELEBEN HISTORIC RESOURCE
-
➢ Historic high-grade sylvinite resource of 356 million tonnes at 16.1% K2O (57.4mt of K2O)
-
➢ Extends from now closed Volkenroda mine to Davenport’s Gräfentonna Licence. Total mining licence area is 37km[2] with 31 drill holes.
-
➢ Advanced planning for mine development. Shaft sinking began but did not proceed after German re-unification. Volkenroda mine closed in 1991 after 80 years of operation.

EXPLORATION LICENCES - WORK COMPLETED
Evaluation of geology and historic drill hole data allowed an Exploration Target estimation:
-
➢ Küllstedt – Exploration Target 4.055 - 5.141 billion metric tonnes grading 7.2% - 25% K2O. (Davenport Resources Limited Replacement Prospectus 24 October 2016, p30)
-
➢ Gräfentonna – Exploration Target 2.678 - 3.396 billion metric tonnes grading 4.3% - 25% K2O. (ASX Announcement - 22 May 2017 )

HIGH QUALITY HISTORIC RESOURCES
-
➢ Evaluation of data progressing with the two areas -Ebeleben and Mühlhausen sub-area - completed
-
➢ Ebeleben has Sylvinite extending south-east from the now closed Volkenroda mine
-
➢ Mühlhausen sub-area contains mixed salts (Hartsalz) extending into the Küllstedt Licence
-
➢ Historic exploration was done to a high standard and would cost more than €100 million and many years drilling to acquire today.

POTASH MARKET

POTASH - ESSENTIAL FOR LIFE
-
✓ Potash is an essential fertilizer for plant growth. It improves water retention, strengthens roots and stems and assists nutrient transfer.
✓ World population is growing at 80 million a year and is headed to 9.3 billion by 2050. Arable land per person is rapidly shrinking so fertilizer is essential to increase global farm output.
✓ Current potash market is slowly emerging from a period of oversupply with demand growing at around 3% a year. It is expected to reach a record 61-64 million tonnes this year. MOP Price at ~US$220 per tonne is beginning to recover as inventories are reducing and the market returns to balance.
