Business Wire
Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the
“Company”) (TSX.V: GSP) is pleased to announce that as of
November 2, 2018, it has successfully completed drilling and coring
a new potash exploration well, in its 100% owned Vanguard Area. The
results from this well will enable Gensource to further define and
upgrade the extent, grade, and classification of the potash
resource in the Vanguard Area; paving the way for the next possible
mining areas for future project ‘modules’. This exploration work
will conclude with the issuing of a NI 43-101 report.

Mike Ferguson, Gensource’s President & CEO commented that:
“We are thrilled to report another successful drilling project,
having safely and successfully achieved our objectives for this
well. The resulting drilling analysis is a key contributor to
supporting our efforts and mission to create additional
opportunities for an off-taker to “own” their own potash production
source under our business model. With the recent significant
progress on the Vanguard One project, which is expected to enter
the execution phase upon completion of the financing package, we
are seeing more potential customers take notice and become
increasingly interested in the opportunities Gensource provides. As
a result, we must work ahead of any additional memoranda of
understanding (MOU’s) for additional off-take agreements by
preparing for future projects. This newly drilled well will allow
us to identify those next projects.”
Gensource contracted Horizon Drilling to complete the well using
their rig number 18. Highlights from the 2018 exploration well
include:
- 16 days on site and over 5,000
man-hours worked with zero injuries, zero reportable incidents, and
no environmental issues.
- Total vertical depth drilled:
1,591m
- Approximately 65m of 3.5” diameter core
cut and retrieved from the Prairie Evaporite Formation.
- Several geophysical logs were run
including: hole volume, directional, neutron-density-PE, induction,
spectral gamma ray, dipole sonic, and cement bond logs.
- A successful Drill Stem Test (DST) was
performed in the Mannville formation, to help determine the
flowrate availability of brackish water for mining activities.
Upon initial inspection, the potash core recovered from this
well reveals that:
- All three members of the Prairie
Evaporite (Patience Lake, Belle Plaine and Esterhazy) are present
and in-tact.
- Thicknesses of the three members are
consistent with adjacent wells, meeting expectations.
- Significant Sylvinite mineralization is
present, especially the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine
Members.
The core was securely transported to Saskatoon where it is being
logged. Once logged, the core will be sampled and the samples will
be crushed and assayed to provide chemical composition data, most
specifically K2O grade.

About Gensource
Gensource is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is focused on
developing the next potash production facility in that province –
but with a radically and fundamentally different approach.
Gensource’s President & CEO, Mike Ferguson, P.Eng., has
assembled a management and technical team with direct and specific
expertise and experience in potash development in Saskatchewan.
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, which is much friendlier to the environment to
construct and operate - the output of which can then be directed to
a single, specific market.

Caution Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
This news release may contain forward looking information and
Gensource cautions readers that forward- looking information is
based on certain assumptions and risk factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the expectations of
Gensource included in this news release. This news release includes
certain "forward-looking statements”, which often, but not always,
can be identified by the use of words such as "believes",
"anticipates", "expects", "estimates", "may", "could", "would",

currently available to Gensource and Gensource provides no
assurance that actual results will meet management's expectations.
Forward-looking statements include estimates and statements with
respect to Gensource’s future plans, objectives or goals, to the
effect that Gensource or management expects a stated condition or
result to occur, including the establishment of vertical
integration partnerships and the sourcing of end use potash
purchasers. Since forward-looking statements are based on
assumptions and address future events and conditions, by their very
nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual
results relating to Gensource’s financial condition and prospects,
the ability to establish viable vertical integration partnerships
and the sourcing of end use potash purchasers could differ
materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for
many reasons such as: failure to settle a definitive joint venture
agreement with a party and advance and finance the project; changes
in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial
markets; the ability to find 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 connection with Gensource’s activities;
and other matters discussed in this news release and in filings
made with securities regulators. This list is not exhaustive of the
factors that may affect any of Gensource’s forward-looking
