Gensource Announces the Appointment of Amy O'Shea as Independent Director

Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: GSP), a fertilizer development company focused on sustainable potash production, is extremely pleased to announce that Amy O’Shea has agreed to join the board of directors of the Company effective April 1, 2020.

“We are so pleased Amy has agreed to join Gensource as a Director. With her strong background providing agricultural solutions, combined with her proven senior executive management and leadership skills, we see direct and tangible outcomes as the Company continues to evolve and create a new and independent potash supply chain,” commented Mike Ferguson, President and CEO of Gensource.

Amy brings a stellar 27-year career in the agricultural industry, starting out with an innovative non-chemical bio-pesticides company. Subsequently, she held successively more senior roles with FMC Corporation, ultimately holding the position of Vice President and Business Director, North America Agricultural Solutions. Her track record within FMC shows a leadership and management ability to take difficult situations and turn them around to create thriving and profitable business units. Amy’s leadership and knowledge in this area specifically, together with her deep understanding of the agricultural marketplace makes her a perfect fit for a director role at Gensource. Her guidance will be key as Gensource begins its transition from a project development company to a sustainable producer of potash.

Amy is currently President & CEO of Certis USA, a leading bio-pesticide manufacturer and distributor, and she is a board member of Intag Systems, a company focused on biological solutions to help reduce the environmental impacts of food production while increasing yields for farmers.

“I’m honored to join the Gensource board of directors because I believe the company is taking an innovative, more sustainable, and environmentally friendly approach to potash production. Their differentiated business model and go to market strategy will be uniquely valuable to both growers and future investors,” stated Amy O’Shea.

Mike Ferguson further commented, “Gensource sees itself as evolving into a manufacturer within the fertilizer sector. We are creating an independent supply chain in the fertilizer industry to serve the needs of the end consumer, the farmer, and we look forward to gaining from Amy’s expertise as we make this growth transition.”

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 and negative environmental aspect of potash mining.
