("Kore Potash" or the "Company")

Dedicated Offshore Transhipment Area Licenced

Kore Potash plc, the potash development company whose flagship asset is the 97%-owned Sintoukola Potash Project ("Project") in the Republic of Congo, is pleased to announce the approval of a licence for the transhipment of potash and the discharge of waste brine in a dedicated offshore area (the "Offshore Area").

Highlights

· A licence for the Company to use an Offshore Area for the transhipment of potash and the discharge of waste brine has been authorised by the Minister of Transport, Civil Aviation and Merchant Marine of the Republic of Congo (the "Maritime Authorisation").

· The licence approves the transhipment location in what is considered the optimum location.

· This Maritime Authorisation is one of the pre-requisites to commencement of construction of offshore infrastructure in the Republic of Congo.

· This Maritime Authorisation relates to the Kola Project and to the Dougou and Dougou Extension Projects, is granted for twenty-five (25) years and renewable for the life of the projects.

· This Authorisation represents another important step forward towards the development of the Kola Project.

Brad Sampson, CEO of Kore Potash, commented:

"The license to operate the transhipment activities is one of the key approvals required for the development of the Kola Project and permission to build and operate a dedicated jetty is vital to optimising the operating costs of the Project."

Authorisation for Maritime Public Domain Occupancy

The Maritime Authorisation approved by the Minister of Transport, Civil Aviation and Merchant Marine of the Republic of Congo was issued to the Company on 6 September 2018.

The Authorisation covers the Kola, Dougou and Dougou Extension projects, is valid for twenty-five (25) years and renewable for the life of projects.

The Maritime Authorisation is an important licence for the Company as in addition to approving the optimum location for the transhipment of potash onto ocean going vessels it also permits the use of ocean water for waste brine dilution, and, combined with other licences, ocean disposal of the waste brine.

The Company has completed an environmental impact assessment for waste brine disposal for which the Company anticipates approval by the Ministry of Tourism and Environment later this year.

A Project Agreement covering the detailed design and construction of the offshore infrastructure will be developed between the Company and the Merchant Marine Authorities after the completion of the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Kola project.

Footprint of the Maritime Public Domain

The footprint of the allocated maritime public domain for transhipment is situated at the Tchiboula coastal area and 11 nautical miles off-shore, immediately South of the Dougou Mining License.
