Further, the following were re-appointed as officers of the Company:

• Michael Ferguson – President and Chief Executive Officer
• Robert Theoret - Chief Financial Officer
• Deborah Morsky – Vice-President Corporate Services and Corporate Secretary

After congratulating Gensource’s team and highlighting Deborah Morsky’s invaluable dedication to the operation of the Company, Mike Ferguson went on to explain the corporate vision of “Why”: the purpose of Gensource’s existence.

With the view that mining practices need to change such that helping to feed the world through potash fertilizers does not leave large social and environmental scars, Gensource continues its march forward to delivering cheaper and cleaner potash fertilizer while providing the ultimate buyer, the farmer, a choice in the supply of this vital crop nutrient. While Gensource’s first project is small, with an annual production of only 250,000 tonnes, its implications are much broader than just the planned tonnage of the product. The entry of a new and independent producer in the industry will be a breakthrough. With Gensource showing the way with small-scale, efficient, low-cost and environmentally sustainable production modules, it begins the eventual evolution of the industry from large-scale mining-oriented production to a manufacturing model where production can be implemented quickly and cheaply as the market demands it. Further, by creating a shorter and more efficient supply chain, the ultimate aim is to give the farmer not only more certain, but also more economic access to potash.

By detailing Gensource’s Corporate Mission: “To create a series of independent, scalable and environmentally sustainable potash production facilities”, Mike Ferguson:

• reviewed the advances made in the company’s strategic business plan,
• detailed the affirmation by the potash industry (distribution, retail and consumer) for the need of small-scale production processes that minimize environmental degradation while delivering leadership in corporate social responsibility, and
• confirmed industry demand for a open, transparent and efficient supply chain that Gensource calls vertical integration.

Subsequent to the meeting, Mike Ferguson, President & CEO, commented, “We are extremely pleased to see such a large percentage of our shares represented at the meeting. This speaks to the very high level of understanding and engagement within our shareholder group. What we are building represents a long-term investment, but one we believe will deliver outstanding shareholder value. They key lies in the correspondingly long-term vision of our shareholders who understand the vision and support it.”
