The management of the company strategically identified the Project Lands adjacent to key infrastructure, including Canadian Pacific Kansas City (TSX: CP, NYSE: CP) rail, road, gas, water and power. The plant site location provides very efficient access to transportation corridors for the initial phase of the Tugaske Project and for future plant expansion. Ownership of the surface lands provides Gensource with full control over the project site, strengthening its position, further de-risking the Project and setting the stage for construction.

Gensource is a fertilizer development company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is on track to become the next fertilizer production company in that province. With a modular and environmentally leading approach to potash production, Gensource believes its technical and business model will be the future of the industry. Gensource operates under a business plan that has two key components: (1) vertical integration with the market to ensure that all production capacity built is directed, and pre-sold, to a specific market, eliminating market-side risk; and (2) technical innovation which will allow for a modular and economic potash production facility, that demonstrates environmental leadership within the industry, producing no salt tailings, therefore eliminating decommissioning.
