SASKATOON, Saskatchewan / ACCESSWIRE / June
23, 2014 / Gensource Potash Corporation
(“Gensource” or the “Company”)
(TSX.V: GSP) is pleased to announce that it has
completed an initial seismic review of portions of the Lazlo
project area and the results are positive – confirming the data
available in historical well logs and also confirming Gensource’s
general view of the Lazlo area with respect to potash bed presence,
total Prairie salt thickness and depth to Prairie salt.
Gensource initiated a program to purchase and re-interpret
existing trade data within the Lazlo project area in March 2014.
Boyd Exploration Consultants Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of RPS
Energy Canada Ltd.) was contracted by Gensource to provide project
management, seismic interpretation and reporting services. Boyd
purchased, on behalf of Gensource, some 19km of data of recent
vintage in the area of interest. Additionally, 10km of older data
in the area was purchased, reprocessed, and interpreted to provide
corroborating information.
The data showed that the Prairie Salt in the area of interest
was of full thickness and continuous over the area of data. The
data also showed the general location of underlying Winnipegosis
mounds and further confirmed several key requirements in overlying
strata. This interpretation led to the identification of several
locations where an initial confirmatory drill hole could be
sited.
Gensource’s President & CEO, Mike Ferguson, P.Eng.,
indicated “the results of the seismic interpretation confirms our
understanding of the Prairie Evaporite Formation in the Lazlo area.
Lazlo was chosen as our area of focus due to the expertise and
understanding of the potash deposit within Gensource in what has
been called the “Davidson Sub-basin”. We are very pleased that the
seismic data analysis in the area confirms our view of the local
geology as accurate and that the area is prospective in its ability
to host new potash developments. We will continue to define and
confirm the potash endowment in the Lazlo project area and issue a
revised 43-101 report following a planned confirmation drill
hole”.
Gensource has laid out a clear set of project parameters and
development milestones for Lazlo that can now be executed, since
significant progress continues to be made in engaging our market
partners – it is Gensource’s business plan that there is no point
in developing a potash operation unless there is vertical
integration with the end user of the final product. Based on the
expertise in potash development within Gensource, these step by
step activities and milestones are expected to be accomplished as
quickly as practicable and finance-able and are anticipated to
result in a small, economic and easily scale-able solution potash
mine/mill.
The proposed next steps in the development of the Lazlo
Project are as follows:
1. Drill a confirmatory hole and undertake the necessary
additional seismic data acquisition. Publish a revised NI43-101
report.
2. Complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment to confirm capex
and opex parameters for the modern solution mining techniques to be
employed at Lazlo.
3. Complete an environmental assessment and obtain operational
permits for the initial facility.
4. Complete a detailed feasibility study.
Gensource looks forward to working through the above logical
steps as we continue our progress towards a producing facility.
