Development Projects
- Winchester Magnesium Carbonate Deposit at Batchelor, in the Northern Territory, is operated by Korab's subsidiary Ausmag Pty Ltd. It has ~17 million tonnes of resource @ 91% MgCO3 (JORC Code compliant) with excellent infrastructure including sealed highway, gas pipeline, rail, potable water and high voltage power. Production is targeted to begin by the second half of 2019 subject to Ausmag Pty Ltd (quarry operator and Korabâs wholly owned subsidiary) obtaining necessary permits and approvals.
Along with its use in the production of refractory materials necessary for producing steel, cement, and glass; magnesium carbonateâs demand has lately shot up after the introduction of high-capacity rechargeable magnesium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, expected to be commercialised within next 2 years; potential markets being the European Union, China, the US and India.

- Bobrikovo Gold and Silver Project, located in Eastern Ukraine in the Lugansk Province, has a JORC Code compliant resource of 3.3 million ounces of gold and 16.3 million ounces of silver. The oxide and transition zones of the project are planned to be developed into an open cut mine.
Exploration Projects
- Batchelor and Green Alligator Project is located in Northern Territoryâs Rum Jungle Mineral Field. So far, the drilling, rock chip sampling and soil geochemical surveys have confirmed extensive cobalt (up to 0.5% Co), copper, nickel, zinc and lead mineralisation. Besides, it also hosts the historical gold mine (Sundance) that produced gold at a head-grade of ~ 10 g/t Au.
- Mt Elephant Project situated south of Paraburdoo in Western Australia, is at an early stage of exploration with a key focus on copper and gold.
