As of 31 December 2024, Kore Potash reported cash reserves of US$1.34 million and a successful fundraising completion of approximately US$0.9 million from a placement in late November.
Government Relations and Future Outlook
The Company continues to engage positively with the Republic of Congo government, receiving assurance regarding the validity of its mining titles and ongoing support for its projects.
Kore Potash remains focused on advancing the Kola Project, while exploring strategic options for the Dougou Extension Project. The Company anticipates further disclosures regarding financing arrangements as they materialise.
This update signals a robust strategy for Kore Potash to emerge as a leading low-cost potash producer in key agricultural markets.
