GERMAN SOUTH HARZ REGION

==> picture [385 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

  • Davenport owns three perpetual mining licences and two exploration licences

  • covering 659 km[2] in the South Harz potash basin.

  • This region represents the cradle of potash mining from where 181.7 Mt potash

  • has been extracted since the 1890’s.

STRATEGIC LICENCE POSITION

==> picture [385 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

  • Davenport acquired perpetual mining licenses for Ebeleben, Mühlhausen and

  • Ohmgebirge from the German government in 2018.

EXPLORATION TARGETS KULLSTEDT AND GRAFENTONNA

==> picture [385 x 114] intentionally omitted <==

  • Küllstedt – Exploration Target

  • 4.055 - 5.141 billion metric tonnes grading 7.2% - 25% K2O*. Davenport (DAV ASX

  • Listing Prospectus 24 October 2016)

  • Gräfentonna – Exploration Target 2.678 - 3.396 billion metric tonnes grading 4.3%

  • 25% K2O*. (ASX release 22 May 2017)

* The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource

POTASH MARKET

==> picture [295 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

  • Potash is an essential fertilizer for plant growth. It improves water retention, strengthens roots and stems and assists nutrient transfer.

  • World population is expected to grow to almost 10 billion by 2050 (+33%). Together with changing dietary trends, a 60% increase in agricultural output is required by then.

Current potash market is slowly emerging from a period of oversupply with demand growing at around 3% a year. It is expected to exceed 67 million tonnes this year. MOP contract prices in 2018 are expected to exceed US$250 per tonne, however spot prices of US$315 and US$290 per tonne are being achieved in Brazil and SE Asia respectively.

POTASH MARKET

==> picture [295 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

  • As global population increases, the available arable land per capita will continue to decrease.

  • Potash demand and prices are rising and the trend is forecast to continue.
