Alton Anderson Joins Gensource Potash as Chief Financial Officer

Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:GSP), a fertilizer development company focused on sustainable potash production, is pleased to announce that Alton Anderson, CPA, CA, has joined the company as of January 1, 2021. Over the next three months, Mr. Anderson will transition into the role of Chief Financial Officer, formally taking on that position April 1, 2021.

“We are excited to welcome Alton to the team,” said Mike Ferguson, President and CEO. “Alton, with his direct experience in the potash industry, is a strong addition to the Company. He brings a broad range of financial management expertise as well as project and business management acumen to Gensource. His achievements and background in finance and business operations gained over his 30-year career in the fertilizer industry will be extremely beneficial as we continue to build the company and implement processes and procedures for project execution and long-term operations.”

Current Chief Financial Officer and co-founder Rob Theoret will assume the role of VP Corporate Finance and Business Development. With the Tugaske Project progressing towards financial close, leading to construction, this new role will allow Mr. Theoret to continue to focus on Gensource’s business plan of developing additional projects and finding additional business opportunities within the fertilizer sector.

Mr. Anderson is a seasoned finance executive with over 30 years’ experience in the fertilizer industry including 22 years at PotashCorp and Nutrien. He has direct experience across the entire supply chain, which will serve him well as CFO at Gensource. Mr. Anderson has led teams in finance, supply chain management, transportation, procurement, operations, sales & marketing, and business transformation. He is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA) with a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Saskatchewan.

“I am thrilled to join Gensource at this pivotal time with the Tugaske Project well underway,” said Mr Anderson. “I truly believe that Gensource’s innovative approach to potash production has the potential to make positive and sustainable changes across the entire industry.”

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.
