Allana Potash Files Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for Its Danakhil Potash Project

• After-tax Net Present Value at 12% of US $1.85 billion;
• After-tax Internal Rate of Return of 36.8%;
• Total development capital expenditures including mining, processing facilities, port and logistics infrastructure (“CAPEX”) of US $796 million;
• Total operating expenditures (“OPEX”) on a per tonne basis (including production, transportation/handling, port, loading costs) FOB on the Vessel of US $90.54
• PEA is based on Annual Production of one million tonnes of MOP per year using solution mining;
• Potential to expand production to two million tonnes per year of MOP;
• SOP production potential to be examined during the ongoing feasibility study.

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the conclusions reached in the PEA will be realized.
