CHATHAM ROCK PROVIDES FURTHER RAILPHOS PROJECT UPDATE


WELLINGTON New Zealand - Chatham Rock Phosphate Limited (TSXV: “NZP”, NZX: “CRP”

and “3GRE” (Frankfurt) or the “Company”) advised on June 18, 2025 that we have

commenced a Feasibility Study to develop a railway to connect our 100% owned

Korella North Mine and its planned phosphate export facility to the Port of Karumba.


The RailPhos project connecting the Korella North Mine, NW Queensland to the Port of

Karumba involves the construction of the long-mooted Cloncurry to Normanton rail line

with a further extension to Karumba.


The Feasibility Study is led by Australia-based Executive Director Colin Randall and as

at 22 October had further progressed as outlined below.


 We have made initial contact with all landholders along the route

 Face to Face meetings have been held with the three landholders that comprise

some 120 km of the route with support from all

 We met with Queensland Rail (QR) and conducted an on-site inspection of the

QR rail infrastructure east of Cloncurry and agreed on a starting point for the

Cloncurry to Port of Karumba railway

 We are considering an alternative site west of Cloncurry as the starting point for

this Cloncurry to Port of Karumba railway which avoids a crossing of the

Cloncurry River just north of Cloncurry township

 Executive Director Colin Randall was part of a panel discussing logistics and

phosphate at the Meeting of the Mines Conference in Cloncurry on Friday 12th

September

 He also made a presentation on the RailPhos Project to the Townsville Summit

Conference on Thursday 9th October 2025. See attached.

 Colin Randall was also interviewed by ABC Northwest Radio with the interview

subsequently aired on a number of occasions and with resultant positive

feedback.

The Feasibility Study into the RailPhos Project continues and we will be providing

regular progress reports.
