A summary of the results is presented herein.\n \n \n \n \n \n Highlights:\n \n \n \n \n \n Updated Production Target\n \n \n ·\n Kore completed a PFS on the DX Project in \n May 2020 \n and released the key outcomes in \n AIM/JSE/\n ASX release dated \n 13 May 2020\n . The PFS mine schedule was comprised solely of declared \n Sylvin\n i\n te \n Ore Reserves of \n 17.7 Mt at a grade of 41.7% KCl\n . The Ore Reserve estimate for the DX Project is unchanged and all key assumptions and modifying factors remain valid. \n \n \n ·\n The process of completing this Updated PFS has involved application of all modifying factors to that portion of Indicated Resources that were not converted to Ore Reserves and to Inferred Resources. Kore has sufficiently advanced all modifying factors on this material such as to have a reasonable basis for the view that eventual conversion to Ore Reserves is likely for a significant portion of this material. As a result, the \n production schedule\n in this Updated PFS includes \n 2.43 \n Mt of \n MoP from \n Indicated \n Mineral \n Resources and \n 2.31\n Mt \n MoP from \n Inferred \n Mineral \n Resources that were not part of the PFS mine schedule. \n \n \n · \n While each of the modifying factors was considered and applied to this additional material, there is no certainty of eventual conversion of this material to Ore Reserves or that the production target in the Updated PFS will be realised\n .\n \n \n \n \n \n Updated Financial Outcomes\n \n \n · \n The Updated Production Target extends the project life from 18.4 years ...
