CHATHAM ADVANCES KORELLA NORTH PROJECT


WELLINGTON New Zealand – Chatham Rock Phosphate Limited (TSXV: “NZP” and NZX:

“Chatham” or the “Company") has made another significant advance.


Chatham is pleased to advise the Queensland Department of Resources (“QDR”) has accepted

the exploration program of works for phosphate exploration area designated EPMA 28589

(Korella North).


The Korella North Project (EPMA 28589) covers an area of 6 sq km containing a near-surface

phosphate deposit as well as a road-train road and railway line.


The Korella North area was exhaustively explored in 2007 and 2008 with soil sampling,

trenching and drilling to prove the presence of outcropping phosphate of the Beetle Creek

Formation along a strike length of approximately 1.5km. The formation is highly suitable for

simple, low cost, open cut mining.


We are now designing an accelerated work program and a mining plan for Korella North

(EPMA 28589) to enable the quick transition from an Exploration Permit to a Mining Lease as

well as native title and access agreements.


Phosphate from Korella North, Korella South and ML90209 (now designated Korella Central)

is low cadmium and high quality, suitable for direct application, production of high analysis

fertilizers and yellow phosphorus.


The Phosphate Hill to Townsville rail line and Phosphate Hill to Cloncurry road-train route

within the Korella North area provide readily accessible transport options.


With leasing arrangements for the Korella fertilizers road-transport hub in Cloncurry

progressing, we are also investigating the option of loading directly onto rail at Korella North

for transport to the Port of Townsville which can provide seaborne transport of Korella

phosphate to Australian consumers as well as those in New Zealand, Asia and Europe.
