About Gensource
Gensource Potash 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 small scale
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 small and economic potash production facility, that
demonstrates environmental leadership within the industry, producing no salt tailings, therefore
eliminating decommissioning risk, and requiring no surface brine ponds, thereby removing the
single largest negative environmental impact of conventional potash mining.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined
in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or
accuracy of this release.
Caution Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This news release may contain forward looking information and Gensource cautions readers
that forward- looking information is based on certain assumptions and risk factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of Gensource included in this news
release. This news release includes certain "forward-looking statements”, which often, but not
always, can be identified by the use of words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects",
"estimates", "may", "could", "would", "will", or "plan". These statements are based on
information currently available to Gensource and Gensource provides no assurance that actual
results will meet management's expectations. Forward looking statements include estimates and
statements with respect to Gensource’s future plans, objectives or goals, to the effect that
Gensource or management expects a stated condition or result to occur, including the ability to
finance the Tugaske Project or other projects, the establishment of vertical integration
partnerships and the sourcing of end use potash purchasers. Since forward-looking statements
are based on assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very nature they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results relating to Gensource’s financial
condition and prospects, the ability to finance the Tugaske Project or other projects on terms
which are economic or at all, the ability to establish viable vertical integration partnerships and
the sourcing of end use potash purchasers could differ materially from those currently
anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as: failure to finance the Tugaske Project
or other projects on terms which are economic or at all; failure to settle a definitive joint venture
agreement with a party and advance and finance the project; changes in general economic
conditions and conditions in the financial markets; the ability to find and source off-take
agreements; changes in demand and prices for potash; litigation, legislative, environmental and
other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments; technological and operational
difficulties encountered in connection with Gensource’s activities; an inability to predict and
counteract the effects of COVID-19 on the business of Gensource, including but not limited to
the effects of COVID-19 on the price of commodities, capital market conditions, restriction on
labour and international travel and supply chains; and other matters discussed in this news
release and in filings made with securities regulators. This list is not exhaustive of the factors
that may affect any of Gensource’s forward-looking statements. These and other factors should
be considered carefully, and readers should not place undue reliance on Gensource’s forward-
looking statements. Gensource does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that
may be made from time to time by Gensource or on its behalf, except in accordance with
applicable securities laws.
