Project SummaryDanakali Limited (ASX:DNK) is focussed on the development of the Colluli Potash Project. The project is located in the Danakil region of Eritrea, East Africa and is 100% owned by the Colluli Mining Share Company (CMSC). CMSC is a 50:50 Joint Venture between Danakali Limited and the Eritrean National Mining Company (ENAMCO).

Demand for potash is expected to substantially increase over the coming decades as the global population continues to grow by approximately 80 million people per year. Eritrea is geographically favourable relative to the key markets of the future, and is a stable jurisdiction with a maturing mining industry.

The exploration tenements cover over 200km2 and comprise almost 1.3 billion tonnes of potassium-bearing salts suitable for the production of potash fertilisers. Over 1.1 billion tonnes of the resource is included in the ore reserve, and the massive expected resource recovery is a direct result of the shallow mineralisation of the potassium bearing salts. With mineralisation commencing at just 16m, Colluli is the shallowest known evaporite deposit in the world and is amenable to open cut mining. Open cut mining is generally a safer, more productive mining method in contrast with underground mining.

The variety of potassium bearing salts contained within the Colluli resource provide it with an unrivalled capacity to produce a range of potash fertilisers, which will allow the project to grow in both scale and product suite over time. The project also has substantial upside potential due to the large contained volumes of rocksalt, magnesium chloride and gypsum.

A two phase modular development approach underpins a highly favourable prefeasibility study (PFS) for the production of potassium sulphate (sulphate of potash or SOP). SOP has limited primary production centres globally as a result of geological scarcity. Only three primary production centres exist in the world. The first phase of the development as a standalone project has an internal rate of return (IRR) of over 22%. The economics of Phases I and II combined result in an attractive estimated IRR of over 24%. The definitive feasibility study is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.

Favourable Project EconomicsThe PFS development considered two SOP production modules. Each module producing 425,000 tonnes per annum. Phase I is expected to be commissioned in late 2018, with Phase II coming into production five years later. An economic snapshot of the PFS project financials is shown in Table 1.

What is Potash?Potash is a generic term for potassium bearing minerals primarily used as fertiliser, and is an essential, non-substitutable ingredient for food production. A diverse range of potash types exist in the market, and are differentiated by chemistry and crop application.

Geological abundance of suitable potassium salts and processing requirements to generate the different potash types are variable, resulting in a range of prices for different potash types in the market. Typical potash types, uses and indicative pricing are shown in Table 2.

Potash growth is underpinned by strong demand drivers including growing population, reduction in arable land and changing dietary preferences. The overall equation for ongoing growth in potash demand however is simple:

Colluli; Positively UniqueThe Danakil region of East Africa is an emerging potash province of significance. Over 10 billion tonnes of potassium bearing salts have been identified to date, and the region has attracted a number of major fertiliser players including ICL and Yara International.

Unlike the current major potash producing basins of the world, the Danakil region contains a variety of potassium bearing salts, providing the opportunity to generate a range of potash fertilisers. The Danakil basin contains the only potash resource in the world that allows such product diversity.

A number of attributes combine to make Colluli an outstanding opportunity. These differentiating factors, shown below, make Colluli the most attractive SOP and potash development project in the world.

The content of this investor pack introduces the attributes which, together, illustrate how Colluli is positively unique.

Large Resource Suitable for PotashFertiliser Production

The Colluli resource contains approximately 1.3 billion tonnes of potassium bearing salts including sylvinite (sylvite plus halite), carnallitite (carnallite plus halite) and kainitite (kainite plus halite). The Mineral Resource estimate prepared and reported under the guidelines of the 2012 JORC Code is shown below in Table 3.

Shallow MineralisationWith mineralisation commencing at just 16m, the Colluli resource is the shallowest known evaporite deposit globally, and is amenable to open cut mining. Open cut mining is a proven mining method for salts, is a safer mining method than underground mining, and gives better overall resource recovery. The alternate methods for mining potash are underground mining and solution mining. Most underground potash mining utilises the “room and pillar” method, which requires over 50% of the resource to be left in the ground for roof support. Solution mining also sterilizes large portions of the resource for cavern support, with losses further exacerbated by high levels of geological discontinuity of the resource and narrow seams.

The large Colluli Ore reserve is shown in Table 4 and the overall conversion of Mineral Resource estimate to Ore Reserve for different mining methods is shown in Figure 1.

In addition to safety and resource recovery benefits, open cut mining utilising surface miners results in a high level of selectivity which is essential for the multi salt composition of the Danakil resource. Highly selective mining ensures that processing operations are not disrupted by chemical and solubility variations arising from the different salt types. Surface mining allows controlled extraction, stockpiling and processing of the different salts and avoids the brine chemistry complexities of solution mining. Figure 2 represents how the Colluli Resource could potentially be mined.

Figure 2: Simple representation of mining method of the Colluli Resource

The growth increment of open cut mines is not determined by underground workings or hoist shaft capacity which are key drivers of underground mining capacity additions. The open cut mining method allows moderate, less capital intensive growth.

“Alternative mine methods sterilise a substantial portion of the resource”

Close Proximity to CoastOnly 75km separates the Colluli site from the Red Sea coast line making it one of the most accessible potash deposits in the world. The Port of Massawa is located 180km away and is connected to the Colluli site via the coastal road. The proximity to coast gives the project access to the global export market via one of the busiest trade routes in the world.

Favourable Combination of Salts for Production of SOP

The Colluli resource contains kainite, sylvite and carnallite ores. Sylvite and carnallite both produce potassium chloride, which is then combined with kainite to form high purity potassium sulphate.

Kainite is the most important salt globally for the primary production of potassium sulphate. Kainite is typically precipitated from potassium rich brines, and then processed to generate potassium sulphate.

In the decomposition of kainite, excess sulphate is generated which, through the addition of potassium chloride, substantially increases the product yield via a highly thermodynamically and kinetically favourable process. The combination of potassium chloride and kainite is the lowest energy input, highest yield conversion route to product potassium sulphate.

Figure 4: Simplified process flow for the production of SOP from the Colluli Resource

Combining kainite with potassium chloride is commercially proven and primarily utilised by operations producing SOP from potassium rich brines. Brine producers that cannot generate potassium chloride from the resource, typically purchase potassium chloride from the market to combine with kainite.

Salts Extracted in Solid Form

Extraction of the salts in solid form, using open cut mining methods, is a key positive differentiator of Colluli. All primary production of potassium sulphate from kainite throughout the world commence with low potassium content brines which require substantial solar evaporation to generate a harvest salt for subsequent processing. In some cases, depending on the ambient conditions, this process can take over two years. Salts in solid form allow immediate processing, and substantially reduces the size of the solar ponds required for evaporation.

One of the most important benefits of having the salts in solid form is the immediate generation of final product, hence revenue, relative to solution mining or brine operations which have substantial lead times associated with the generation of harvest salts for subsequent processing. In contrast, brine operations have a substantial lead time between the time of the capital investment and the time to generate product and revenue.

Unrivaled Ability to Diversify Potash TypesThe diversity of potassium bearing salts in the Danakil region allows the production of a variety of potash types including potassium sulphate (SOP), potassium magnesium sulphate (SOP-M), gypsum and potassium chloride (MOP). No other potash resource in the world allows such diversification.

High Purity ProductPilot test studies completed on the Colluli salts with the Colluli process design demonstrate that Colluli will be at the top of the quality spectrum. Typical sulphate of potash contains approximately 94% potassium sulphate, in contrast, the Colluli process is expected to generate product with purity of 98%. Standard, granular and soluble products will be generated for distribution to the market. Pilot tests from the Colluli salts have generated product samples for marketing purposes which are now being distributed to prospective customers.

Logistically Superior to Key Markets of the Future

Colluli is geographically advantaged relative to the key potash markets of the future. Demand for fertiliser is driven by population growth which directly translates to food demand. Almost 95% of the population growth over the next three decades will occur in Africa, India and South East Asia. The relative location of the Colluli resource to these key markets gives it a significant logistics advantage and unrivalled access to the potash markets of the future.

Distance from major population growth centres (km)

Substantial Project UpsideIn addition to the potassium bearing salts, Colluli contains appreciable amounts of rocksalt, magnesium chloride and gypsum. All of these products have established global markets. The rocksalt, magnesium chloride and portions of gypsum must be mined to access the potassium bearing salts, resulting in low production costs for these materials.

Resource definition is currently underway for the rocksalt resource. Preliminary analysis indicates that the rocksalt contained in the Colluli resource is suitable for de-icing purposes.

“Almost 95% of the population growth over the next three decades will occur in Africa, India and South East Asia.”

Lowest Estimated Capital Intensity and Operating Costs

Colluli is one of only two advanced potash projects in the world with development capital costs less than US$450m, and is estimated to have the lowest capital intensity. This is achieved as a consequence of the reduced evaporation pond footprint, hence substantially smaller surface foot print. Operating costs are also substantially lowered as a result of efficient infrastructure use facilitated by salt extraction in solid form and low energy input conversion to SOP. There are clear economies of scale as the project transitions from Phase I to Phase II, which convincingly separate Colluli on the cost curve.

Definitive Feasibility Study Imminent The Colluli definitive feasibility study is well advanced and expected to be complete in 2015. All environmental baseline submissions for assessment have been completed and submitted to the Eritrean Environmental Ministry. Project teams have completed site visits and evaluated the in country facilities available to support the construction activities.

Pilot testing and optimisation of the process plant design commenced immediately following completion of the prefeasibility study, and sufficient volumes of SOP have been generated for distribution to prospective customers.

About Danakali LimitedDanakali Limited (ASX: DNK) was previously known as South Boulder Mines Limited (ASX: STB). The change of name occurred in June 2015 and reference to the region and commodity (Danakil Potash). We believe it is a good fit with our future.

Listed in 2003, DNK’s primary focus was on gold, nickel and base metal exploration within the Duketon Project in Western Australia. In 2008, DNK added Western Australian potash and phosphate to its portfolio of Projects in recognition of the strong demand outlook for fertiliser commodities and the search for a more significant project continued.

In 2009, the company was granted the exploration rights for the Colluli Potash Project in Eritrea, East Africa. Colluli had the potential to host a world class potash deposit and drilling began in 2010. The initial development path pursued the production of Potassium Chloride (MOP) and in 2011, to allow focus on the Colluli Project, DNK announced its intention to demerger all non-potash projects into a separate entity, Duketon Mining Limited (ASX: DKM) with the eventual demerge occurring in 2013. At this time, in response to changes in management, DNK considered the production of Potassium Sulphate (SOP) as a way to significantly improve economics through the production a premium potash product with lower operating costs, through resource optimisation, and a reduced development capital requirement as part of a modular approach to the Project.

The highly favourable PFS results were announced in early 2015 and the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) expected for delivery in calendar year 2015, is well advanced.

About the Colluli Mining Share Company

All Eritrean mines require a Joint Venture structure with the Eritrean National Mining Company (ENAMCO). Danakali and ENAMCO each own 50% of the Colluli Mining Share Company (CMSC) and CMSC owns 100% of the project. CMSC has a Board of 5 being 3 members from DNK and 2 from ENAMCO.

CMSC will seek to fund the initial project development costs with a mixture of debt (up to 70%) and equity. Any shortfall in the debt component will be underwritten by Danakali on market terms with repayment and security consistent with third-party debt. The 30% equity component is DNK’s obligation of which 50% is contributed through an Interest Free Loan.

After CMSC’s third-party debt is serviced, 50% of the funds available for distribution will be preferentially repaid to DNK to settle the interest-free loan. This preferential payment to Danakali occurs until such time as the

interest-free loan is repaid. The remaining 50% of CMSC’s funds available will be distributed evenly across the JV ownership. After this, available CMSC funds are distributed as per the JV.

Once production commences at Colluli, both JV partners will contribute equally to ongoing project costs through the JV company CMSC.

Eritrea and the Mining IndustryEritrea, located in the Horn of Africa, is a relatively new country with UN recognition in 1993. It is bordered to the northeast and east by the Red Sea, Sudan to the west, Ethiopia to the south/south west and Djibouti to the south/south east.

The nation has a total population of approximately 4 million people and Eritrea’s capital, Asmara, is home to over 600,000 inhabitants. Asmara was chosen as a capital for its salubrious highland climate, reliable water supply and ideal geographic location in the centre of Eritrea. Asmara’s architecture has been strongly influenced by a large Italian presence in the city through the late 1800’s to early 1900’s. The capital has perhaps one of the most concentrated and intact assemblage of Modernist architecture anywhere in the world.

The Eritrean economy has experienced considerable growth in recent years largely through commencement

of full operations at the Bisha copper-gold mine and the production of cement in the port city of Massawa. Real GDP is estimated at $4.4 billion with an annual growth rate of approximately 10%.

Eritrea has an extensive amount of resources such as copper, gold, granite, marble, and potash. In addition to the active Bisha mine, Zara Gold are currently commissioning their operation and Asmara Gold are pursuing funding options for their development.

Eritrea has well developed transportation infrastructure and has continued asphalting new roads, and improving its port facilities over the past decade. A coastal highway of more than 500 km connects Massawa with Asseb, providing access along the entire Red Sea coastline of Eritrea. Eritrea can be accessed by Qatar air, Egypt air, Eritrean airlines, Turkish airlines and Fly Dubai.
