The Company intends to use the funds received from EMR’s exercise of its warrants and any funds received from the Offering to fund the continuing development program on its premium specialty fertilizer project on the Sevier Playa in southwestern Utah, U.S.A. (the “Sevier Playa Project“) including advanced work identified in its Preliminary Feasibility Study, efforts to complete its feasibility study; an Environmental Impact Statement and other permitting; the repayment of debt, including the loans with Extract Capital and certain directors of the Company which will be repaid immediately with the proceeds from the warrant exercise; and for general working capital purposes.

Crystal Peaks’ CEO Lance D’Ambrosio said:

“This is a true vote of confidence in our project and we are extremely pleased that EMR continues to support our efforts.  With EMR’s track record of developing resource properties, we look forward to working with them as we move our project past the feasibility study and into the construction-ready stage. Also, I’d like to add that Extract Capital has been a great partner to work with these past two years and we thank them for their support.
