CHATHAM ROCK PHOSPHATE LIMITED
PRIVATE PLACEMENT


WELLINGTON New Zealand – Chatham Rock Phosphate Limited (TSXV: “NZP” and NZAX:
“CRP” or the “Company") recently sucessfuly raised further working capital to keep the company in
good standing as we continue to pursue our objective of securing a new cornerstone investor to fund
our environmental permit reapplication.

Based on the success of the financing that has just closed, the Company is proceeding with a further
non-brokered private placement of up to 12,500,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of CAD $0.08 per
Unit (NZ$0.10) for gross proceeds of up to CAD $1 million (NZD $1.25 million) subject to
regulatory approvals. Significantly, the Company has partnered with Stockhouse as part of this
fundraising initiative and we expect that their global reach will materially assist CRP in reaching our
target.

This level of funding will sustain the company well into 2021 during which period our main focus
will be on advancing our Chatham Rise project while securing a business partner to work with us.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one (1) transferable
share purchase warrant (“Warrant”), transferable subject to applicable securities legislation. Each
Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share at a price of CAD $0.45
(NZ$0.53) per share at any time prior to the date that is five (5) years from the date of issuance.

In the event that the common shares of the Company trade on the TSX Venture Exchange at a closing
price of greater than CAD $0.60 (NZ$0.71) per common share for a period of 20 consecutive trading
days at any time after four months and one day after the closing date of the private placement, the
Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants by giving notice to the holders thereof by
way of a news release and in such case the Warrants will expire on the 30
th
day after the date of
dissemination of such news release.

The common shares and Warrants issued pursuant to this proposed offering are subject to a hold
period of four months plus one day after the closing dates of the offering as provided by securities
legislation.
