In consideration for their services, certain persons (each, a “Finder”) may receive from the Corporation on Closing, a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Common Shares sold and compensation warrants to purchase common shares equal to 6.0% of the total number of Common Shares sold, exercisable for 36 months from the closing date at $0.18 per common share (the “Broker Warrants”).

Gensource’s President and CEO, Mike Ferguson commented, “This offering represents a major step on the Company’s part towards completing the full financing of the Tugaske Project. We are excited to continue investing directly into the project and look forward to completing the financing package which will signal full project execution.”

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.
