GROWING GERMAN POTASH ASSETS

Building a strategic position in Germany’s South Harz potash basin, a globally significant region with a history of over 120 years of potash production.

Three new perpetual mining licences with historic high grade resources in “next to be mined” parts of the potash basin.

Historic resources are substantial in size and high grade. They provide the basis to fast track exploration to a JORC resource as shown by successful Ebeleben Resource conversion.
==> picture [89 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
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. Key staff are based in Europe.
GERMAN SOUTH HARZ REGION
-
➢ Davenport owns three perpetual mining licences and two exploration licences covering 659km[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.
-
➢ Davenport is currently converting its historic resources (under the former GDR system) to JORCcompliant resources.
==> picture [185 x 155] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [353 x 423] intentionally omitted <==
STRATEGIC LICENCE POSITION
-
➢ Davenport acquired perpetual mining licenses for Ebeleben, Mühlhausen and Ohmgebirge from the German government in 2018.
-
➢ In addition, Davenport already has exploration licenses for the Küllstedt and Gräfentonna areas.
-
➢ Davenport is fast-tracking the confirmation of resources in these areas and expects this to become Europe’s largest unmined potash resource.

EBELEBEN JORC INFERRED RESOURCE
-
➢ 2012 JORC Inferred Resource of 576 million tonnes at 12.1% K O 2
-
(110.1 Mt of KCl)
-
➢ 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.
==> picture [310 x 271] intentionally omitted <==

MÜHLHAUSEN, KEULA AND NOHRA-ELENDE HISTORIC RESOURCE
-
➢ Historic resource of 1.11 Billion tonnes containing 114.9 Mt K2O of mixed potash salts (ASX Announcement 10 April 2018)
-
➢ Area adjoins Davenport’s Küllstedt Licence.
-
➢ Mixed salt comprises both potassium chloride and potassium sulphate amenable for both Muriate of Potash (MOP) and Sulphate of Potash (SOP) production.
-
➢ Conversion of these resources to JORC (2012)-compliant Inferred Resource ongoing.

SUMMARY OF RESOURCES AND EXPLORATION TARGETS
-
➢ Ebeleben – JORC (2012) Inferred Resource 576.6 Mt grading 12.1% K2O . Contains 69.3 Mt of K2O (ASX release 3 April 2018 )
-
➢ Mühlhausen – Exploration Target - 3 areas with combined target of between 286 Mt & 510 Mt of K O*. 2
-
JORC Inferred resource by June 2018. (ASX release 10 April 2018 )
-
➢ Ohmgebirge – review work ongoing.
-
➢ Küllstedt – Exploration Target 4.055 - 5.141 billion metric tonnes grading 7.2% - 25% K2O*. Davenport (Prospectus 24 October 2016)
-
➢ Gräfentonna – Exploration Target 2.678 - 3.396 billion metric tonnes grading 4.3% - 25% K2O*. (ASX release 22 May 2017 )
==> picture [347 x 330] intentionally omitted <==
* 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
-
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.

Using today’s costs this equates to at least €100 million worth of potash exploration data, including evaluation, geochemical & mineralogical information.
==> picture [88 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
Historic resource estimates, supported by high quality data will enable targeted exploration to confirm further JORC 2012 resources on the South Harz project.
.
==> picture [89 x 88] intentionally omitted <==
An exceptional starting point to fast track evaluation with the aim of continuing potash production in the South Harz region which is still ongoing after 120 years.
