Marketing
TORONTO, July 26, 2018 -- Crystal Peak Minerals Inc. (“Crystal Peak” or the “Company” )
(TSXV:CPM) (OTCQX:CPMMF) today announced that Doug Hoadley, the former Head of Nitrogen at CRU and previous
Director of Agribusiness Analysis at CF Industries, has joined the Company as its contract Director of Marketing. He will
pursue placement of the anticipated Sulfate of Potash (SOP) production from the Company’s Sevier Playa Project located in
southwestern Utah.
John Mansanti, Chief Executive Officer of Crystal Peak, said; "We are very pleased to welcome Doug Hoadley to our team.
Having worked previously at CF Industries, CRU, and Mosaic, Doug brings a deep knowledge of fertilizer markets to our
company. He will be a terrific addition as we seek off-take agreements and work to penetrate key fertilizer markets in support
of project financing. With the project moving rapidly through permitting and towards construction, the timing couldn’t be better."
Doug Hoadley said; "I’m very happy to be joining Crystal Peak Minerals. I think the Sevier Playa project is one of the best
greenfield fertilizer assets in the world and the company is well positioned to bring its products to markets. And, with the
conclusion of permitting expected next year, I’m ready to find the right marketing partner."
Regarding permitting, Crystal Peak is advancing the EIS permit process and anticipates that the Bureau of Land Management
will issue Notice to Proceed in Q4 2019 with a construction start date expected that same quarter. This compares to the Q1
2019 construction start date that was contemplated in the NI 43-101 Technical Report summarizing the feasibility study for the
Company’s Sevier Playa Potash Project. Allowing for a compressed construction schedule, the Company still projects first
production in Q4 2022. Additionally, the Company is conducting on-going engineering efforts designed to optimize and improve
the project.
