Gensource Announces Completion of the First Engineering Study for its Lazlo Project
(firmenpresse) - SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN -- (Marketwired) -- 04/13/15 -- Gensource Potash Corporation ("Gensource" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: GSP) is pleased to announce the completion of the first engineering study (the "Study") for its Lazlo Potash Project in Saskatchewan.
As previously announced, the Company commenced work on the Study in December 2014 with the expectation that it would be completed by the end of March 2015. The Study was completed on time and within the budget.
The Study was prepared by Innovare Technologies Ltd. (Innovare), in conjunction with ENGCOMP Engineering and Computing Professionals Inc. (ENGCOMP), of Saskatoon.
The Study comprised analysis of expected capital and operating costs prepared internally in order to develop a model to be used for the preparation of a preliminary economic analysis in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). As the Study confirmed the Company''s previous internal engineering work, further field work (drilling and seismic) will be undertaken to confirm the resource in the project area. The results of the engineering and resource work will be combined and released as a Scoping Study (or Preliminary Economic Assessment) prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.
The Company is attempting to develop an economic small scale production model. The small size is of key importance:
The Company''s President & CEO, Mike Ferguson, said, "We are very pleased to have completed this study, on time and on budget. We are particularly pleased that the study has confirmed our initial assessment of the selective mining and innovative processing approaches we are undertaking. The potential ability to implement a small, economic mine, at a cost that may be financed in the current market context is a unique situation, and represents a strong foundation on which Gensource plans to move forward".
The Company is seeking to develop an economic mining approach using certain enhanced recovery processes that could be superior to conventional mining or conventional-solution mining of potash in Saskatchewan:
There are no commercial operations at the Lazlo Project at this time. The determination of the prospects for commercial operations at the Lazlo Project is dependent upon a feasibility study demonstrating economic and technical viability.
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was prepared by or under the supervision of Mr. Mike Ferguson, P.Eng., who is the President and CEO of Gensource and a "Qualified Person" under NI 43-101.

These statements are based on information 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 expected timing for release of a resource estimate and a preliminary economic assessment. 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, among other things, results of exploration, the economics of processing methods, project development, reclamation and capital costs of Gensource''s mineral properties, and Gensource''s financial condition and prospects, could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements for many reasons such as: changes in general economic conditions and conditions in the financial markets; the ability to find distributors and source offtake 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.
