Gensource Announces Director Retirement

Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: GSP). Today, Gensource announces the retirement of a long-time director, Dr. Mark Stauffer.

Mark joined the board of Gensource in October of 2015, and has been a valuable and steady advisor to the Company since. Mark’s rich background in agriculture and special expertise in fertilizers and balanced fertilization practices have been a real strength for the company as it sought out the right markets and right partners within the fertilizer industry. The Company has a standing age restriction policy, making those who have reached the age of 75 ineligible for nomination as a director. Mark, having reached that milestone, is retiring now to make room for new directors in the future. Gensource will miss the experienced input that Mark has provided, and thanks Mark for all his work and dedication. The Company will work to continue adding directors with specific skill sets required as the Company grows into its future of being a fertilizer manufacturing entity.

Mike Ferguson, Gensource’s President & CEO, commented, “We are thankful to Mark for his contributions and guidance over the past almost three years, during which time the Company really established itself as a credible potential new potash producer based on its fundamental business plan. Mark’s insights and ability to work within the group helped Gensource accomplish what is has to date. Thank you, Mark, and all the best in retirement!”

About Gensource

Gensource is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is focused on developing the next potash production facility in that province – but with a fundamentally different approach. Gensource’s President and CEO, Mike Ferguson, P.Eng., has assembled a management and technical team with direct and specific expertise and experience in potash development in Saskatchewan.

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 to a specific market, eliminating market-side risk; and (2) technical innovation which will allow for a small and economic potash production facility, which is much friendlier to the environment and less expensive and time consuming to construct and operate - the output of which can then be directed to the identified specific market.

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.
