Further to its announcement of 14 June 2019 regarding a placing and subscription to raise approximately
US$13 million (the “Fundraise”), Kore Potash, the potash exploration and development company whose
flagship asset is the 97%-owned Sintoukola Potash Project located within the Republic of Congo, today

2019 at Level 8, The Shard, 32 London Bridge Street, London SE1 9SG. A circular containing the formal notice
of meeting has been dispatched to the Company’s shareholders.
The General Meeting is being held to seek shareholder approval of the issue of 646,914,254 new ordinary
shares in the Company (“New Shares”) at an issue price of £0.016 per New Share pursuant to the Fundraise.
In accordance with the requirements of the Australian Securities Exchange, the Company is also seeking the
approval of its shareholders at the General Meeting to certain changes to the CEO’s current remuneration.

Each of the times and dates in the above expected timetable may be subject to change, in which event details of the
new times and dates will be notified, where appropriate, by means of an announcement through a Regulatory
Information Service.

In addition to the resolutions being put before the General Meeting that relate to the Fundraise, the Board
(other than Brad Sampson) has also resolved to, subject to shareholder approval at the General Meeting,
issue new options ("2019 Options") to Brad Sampson. This is because, following the receipt of a
remuneration consultant's advice, the Board (other than Mr Sampson) determined that the Company
should cancel Mr Sampson’s previously issued options (“2018 Options”) on the basis that they were no
longer considered to be an appropriate incentive for Mr Sampson in light of the factors considered by the
remuneration consultant. Accordingly, the Company and Mr Sampson have agreed to the cancellation of
the 2018 Options and should shareholders approve the issue of the 2019 Options, they will form part of Mr
Sampson's revised remuneration package.
The approvals being sought at the General Meeting in connection with the Fundraise include the approval,
for the purposes of the ASX Rules, of the participation of the Company’s two largest existing shareholders,
State General Reserve Fund, Sultanate of Oman (“SGRF)” and Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A.
(“SQM”), in the Fundraise. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement of 14 June 2019, as part of the
Fundraise SGRF will be subscribing for 140,488,209 New Shares and SQM will be subscribing for a total of
146,107,737 New Shares (of which 17,943,055 New Shares are proposed to be allotted to SQM in lieu of a
payable outstanding to SQM from the Company under a previously disclosed technical services agreement).
Full details of the General Meeting and each of the resolutions to be put before the meeting can be found
in the circular containing the Notice of General Meeting which will be available at www.korepotash.com
