effect that Gensource or management expects a stated condition or
result to occur, including the expected timing for release of a
resource estimate and a preliminary economic assessment, as well as
a feasibility study, and the establishment of vertical integration
partnerships and the sourcing of end use potash purchasers. Since

find distributors and source off-take agreements; changes in demand
and prices for potash; litigation, legislative, environmental and
other judicial, regulatory, political and competitive developments;
technological and operational difficulties encountered in
