Kore Potash, the potash development company with 97%-ownership of the Kola and DX Potash
Projects in the Sintoukola Basin, located within the Republic of Congo (“RoC”), today reports its
unaudited financial results and operational highlights for the half year ended 30 June 2022 (“the
Period”).

contained within this announcement should be read in conjunction with the notes contained within

Highlights
 • The process to potentially finance the construction of Kola progressed in line with the
      Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) signed with the Summit Consortium in April 2021.
 • Receipt of the Optimisation Study on the Kola Project was announced to shareholders on 1
      April 2022.
 • Kore Potash completed its detailed review of the Optimisation Study and announced the
      outcomes of the Study to shareholders on 27 June 2022.
 • On 28 June 2022, the Company announced it had signed a Heads of Agreement (“HoA”) for
      the construction of Kola.
      Cash and cash equivalents, at 30 June 2022 was USD 7,628,417.
 • The exploration and evaluation asset at 30 June 2022 was USD 157,518,638, a decrease of
      USD 9,095,267 from USD 166,613,902 at 31 December 2021. During the Period the
      Company capitalised USD 2,921,600 in exploration and evaluation expenditure and the
      expenditure decreased by USD 12,016,864 as a result of the strengthening of the USD
      against the currency of the RoC.
 • Despite the on-going Russian/Ukraine conflict, the Covid-19 pandemic and increasing fuel
      prices, the Group's operations have not been materially impacted by these during the
      Period.

Brad Sampson, Chief Executive of Kore Potash, commented:
"We have made good progress during the first half of 2022, having taken receipt of the Kola
Optimisation Study and shared the outcomes with the market, including the US$520 million reduction
in the capital cost of Kola and a reduction in the expected construction timeline to 40 months. We are
also proud to have signed a Heads of Agreement for Kola’s construction, advancing the Kola project at
pace despite the difficult circumstances facing the global economy.

“Recent geopolitical and extreme weather events, which have led to food security concerns and a
dramatic increase in the potash price, only reinforce the need for the development of new low-cost
potash production from high quality potash deposits located close to customers, such as our projects
in the Sintoukola basin. The progress towards financing our Kola Project is exciting and we look forward
to receiving the financing proposal.”
