Gensource Announces the Appointment of Mike Mueller as Independent Director

Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: GSP) is extremely pleased to announce that Mike Mueller has joined the board of directors of the Company effective today.

“We are extremely pleased that Mike has agreed to join us as a Director. With Mike’s background in corporate finance and his direct, hands-on experience with new technology start-up companies, Gensource stands to benefit greatly. We have communicated consistently over the years that Gensource is not a typical “junior mining” company, but rather a true start-up... we are here to be a new and independent producer in the potash industry and Mike’s track record of shepherding small companies through the start-up stage to success brings a key skill set to our Board”, said Mike Ferguson, Gensource’s Chairman of the Board and President & CEO.

Mr. Mueller has a B.Sc. From the University of Western Ontario and an MBA in International Finance from York University. His career started in the investment banking industry with TD, culminating as Vice Chairman, Global Investment Banking with TD Bank Financial Group. Moving on from TD, Mike became President and CEO of MDS Capital Corporation, a $1B venture capital firm and from that role moved into creating his own “portfolio” of start-up companies, with which he helped formulate strategic business plans, financings and CEO mentoring and development. In addition, Mike spent 12 years with the Public Service Pension (PSP) Investment Board, ultimately serving as Chairman.

Mike Ferguson further commented, “While new to mining, Mike brings so many key skills to Gensource, such as public company governance, strategic planning, novel start-up appropriate finance strategies, and perhaps most importantly, a positive and forward-looking energy and a deep understanding of the start-up landscape that will help the Company move to the next level, as a potash producer.”
