Gensource Potash Releases Audited Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

2023 Final Results and Board Change

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Gensource Potash Corporation ("Gensource" or the "Company") (AIM/TSXV: GSP), a fertilizer development company focused on sustainable potash production, announces that it has released its Audited Financial Statements and Management's discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The detailed results of the Audited Financial Statements and MD&A are available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile on www.sedar.plus.ca or at https://gensourcepotash.ca/financials- and-presentations/ ). The highlights in this release should be read in conjunction with the Audited Financial Statements and MD&A. The MD&A provides an analysis of comparisons with previous periods, trends affecting the business and risk factors.

Summary of Key Activities During Q4 2023 and the year ending December 31

In today's interconnected world, fostering social and environmental consciousness is not just a choice but an imperative. Gensource's commitment to social and community values reflects our purpose and role in supplying a hungry world with potash, a sustainably produced macronutrient (critical mineral) essential for society's transition towards a more food-secure future. What sets us apart is our commitment to environmental stewardship, evident in our utilization of leading approaches to potash extraction, such as scalable potash production systems and other practices to minimize our ecological footprint.

The completion of the financing for the Tugaske Project, our primary focus, is progressing towards the close of the first step to a multi-stage funding that will provide total construction finance (see news release dated December 7, 2023). Tugaske, our first project of potentially many similar projects, has been thoroughly vetted by independent third parties through the senior debt due diligence process. The project is fully permitted and ready for construction.

Gensource prioritizes community engagement and empowerment, working closely with local stakeholders to ensure that its operations benefit the communities in which it operates. Being a partner in sustainable resource development means participating in making business decisions that create wealth for a growing Indigenous community and a growing province. Our community partnership is a testament to our commitment to sustainable resource development and our dedication to making business decisions that benefit our shareholders, the Indigenous community, and the province.

In 2023, Nekaneet First Nation joined Gensource as an investor to implement a Saskatchewan project that will bring multi-generational benefits to our shareholders and the local community. The Company's Tugaske potash project rests on Treaty 4, encompassing the lands of the Cree, Saulteaux, Dakota, Nakota and Lakota, and homeland to the Metis Nation and the lands included in the traditional territory of Nekaneet First Nation. We are all part of this Treaty and must take our corporate responsibility seriously to create real change through meaningful engagement.

A significant move in our corporate senior management strategy was to welcome Wayne Brownlee to our team as an independent director (Chair of the audit committee). Wayne will significantly enhance our collective knowledge and experience in the finance and fertilizers industry, not only for moving Tugaske into construction but also for implementing future projects. With over three decades of successful senior leadership, communication, and market planning expertise, Mr. Brownlee will be instrumental in boosting Gensource's market strategy. With the addition of Mr. Brownlee as an independent director and Chair of the audit committee, non-independent director Alton Anderson, CFO, will not seek re-election to the board at this year's annual meeting and will step down effective April 30, 2024 from the board. The result is improved corporate governance with only one non-independent director remaining on the board (Mike Ferguson, CEO). The Company thanks Mr. Anderson for his time serving as a non-independent director during the transition to an independent director. Mr. Anderson will continue in his role as CFO of the Company.

According to the International Fertilizer Association (IFA), consumption of fertilizers worldwide was expected to recover by 4% in 2023 to 192.5 million metric tons (mmt), but supply and demand to some degree has been impacted by risk from war, and supply chain interruption in delivery.

Gensource focuses on delivering long-term value to our shareholders, customers, employees, and other stakeholders. Throughout the year, we made significant strides in advancing our strategic initiatives. Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about Gensource's prospects. While uncertainties persist in the global economic landscape, our resilient business model, with Management and Board's commitment of time, expertise and financing, the Company will continue to support the innovations that will enable it to navigate challenges and capitalize on opportunities.

We are optimistic about the initiatives planned for the upcoming year, such as new market expansion strategies and investments in technology and infrastructure. We are proud of our accomplishments and confident in our ability to sustain growth and profitability in the years to come.

The following is a recap of significant events in 2023:

On January 27, 2023, the Company closed the second and final closing of the non-brokered private placement. The Company issued 11,969,998 Units for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,795,499.70.

Gensource Announces Final Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement Totalling $1,605,899.82

Further to its news releases dated November 22, 2017 and November 29, 2017, Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the “Company“) (TSXV:GSP) announces today it has completed the second tranche of its non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering“). The second tranche of the Offering consisted of the non-brokered sale of 14,345,383 common shares at $0.065 per share for gross proceeds of $932,449.90.
As previously announced on November 29, 2017, the Company completed the first tranche of the Offering by placing 10,360,768 Common Shares. When combined with the second tranche, aggregate gross proceeds of $1,605,899.82 have been received.
Additionally, the Company paid commissions on the Offering to certain finders. The commissions paid to the finders consisted of cash payments of $39,980.00 and the issuance to the finders of 615,076 agent’s warrants exercisable into Common Shares at $0.065 per agent’s warrant for a period of 18 months following the Closing Date.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes as it moves forward to complete current negotiations with market partners for the first of its scalable and environmentally responsible potash operations, as well as to continue with resource definition work to support a second project within the Vanguard area.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a four month and one day statutory hold period.
Mike Ferguson, President & CEO of Gensource, commented: “We are very pleased with the response to our private placement, ending in an over-subscribed financing. Most satisfying is the robustness of the response even in a period of continued negative sentiments in the general potash industry. This tells us that our shareholders clearly understand our business model, which is not about the current price of potash or the current macro supply-demand situation. They understand that our business model has the potential to begin to change the industry, taking advantage of the rigid industry structure that has been created over many decades by providing an alternative: an alternative with respect to scale, efficiency, cost, environmental impact and simplicity of supply chain. Gensource continues to seek potential market partners that will facilitate the proposed implementation of our first scalable and environmentally friendly project.”

Gensource Provides Update on the Next-Stage Resource Confirmation Work in Its Vanguard Area

Gensource Potash Corporation (“Gensource” or the “Company”) (TSXV:GSP) is pleased to provide an update related to the ongoing efforts to expand upon the resource confirmation work completed to-date at its 100% owned Vanguard property in central Saskatchewan. The Vanguard area comprises two Saskatchewan subsurface mineral leases, KL 244 and KL 245, surrounding the Villages of Tugaske and Eyebrow, Saskatchewan.
Following the completion of the Vanguard One feasibility study (see news release dated May 31, 2017), Gensource announced initial efforts to increase both the breadth and the depth of its knowledge of the resource on its two leases, with the goal to identify and begin to define additional project areas. With its goal to help bring potash production into the 21^st century, Gensource has teamed up with ADROK Ltd (“ADROK”), to investigate the use of their patented and exclusive Atomic Dielectric Resonance (ADR) imaging technology, for the mapping and delineation of the potash members within the Prairie Evaporite. The main aim for the project is for ADROK to deploy their ADR technology for a proof of concept survey looking at potash deposits, with the aim to establish confidence that ADR can assist Gensource’s exploration and resource evaluation efforts. The project included data collection from 13 virtual boreholes (“V-bores”), and analysis of two V-bores to-date. A virtual borehole is just that – virtual. By utilizing ADR and proprietary analysis methods, ADROK is able to obtain geological and lithographic data similar to that obtained by actually drilling, logging and coring an exploration borehole, without doing any drilling. In Gensource’s case, the effort was focused on:

Identifying the boundaries of the Prairie Evaporite Formation.
Differentiating the Potash members within the Prairie Evaporite Formation.
Detection of high grade zones within the Potash members.
Identifying wet, potentially brackish-water-bearing zones at depth for use in Gensource’s selective solution mining technique.

Following the initial field investigation, ADROK completed data conversion on two V-bores as a calibration and “training” exercise and has provided an initial interpretation of the results.
The initial results indicated potash mineralization in both V-bores, consistent with the traditional geological logging and testing completed on those holes (including core retrieval, sampling and assaying). The ADR techniques were able to distinguish sylvinite (potash-containing ore) from halite (predominantly salt-only mineralization) layers at depth. Additionally, the evidence collected suggests that the ADR techniques can differentiate high-grade versus low-grade sylvinite layers within the potash-containing ore zone – not just differentiating the three main members of the Prairie Evaporite (Patience Lake, Bell Plaine and Esterhazy) but high and low-grade layers within each member. Further, the established lithology relationships using the ADR technology were consistent with the data recorded from the geophysical logs provided from the exploration phase of the two training holes.
Gensource’s President & CEO, Mike Ferguson, said, “The potential to apply ADROK’s technology in the potash industry is an exciting prospect. Not only are these methods drastically faster and substantially less costly than traditional exploration and confirmation methods, but also the ADR virtual boreholes are a low energy, low disturbance and non-destructive means of accomplishing field work – an ethos that fits well with Gensource’s mission to be innovative, and to take a more environmentally friendly and responsible approach to exploring for and producing potash. By utilizing new and more efficient techniques, it is Gensource’s goal to decrease cost and time requirement during the exploration and development phases, the result of which will save time and money and add more value to our shareholders. We look forward to further collaboration with ADROK on the assessment and advancement of the potential opportunities this technology can bring to our industry.”
The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was reviewed and approved by Mike Ferguson, P.Eng., the President and CEO of Gensource and a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.

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”, “will”, or “plan”. 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 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 statements. These and other factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on Gensource’s forward-looking statements. Gensource does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time by Gensource or on its behalf, except in accordance with applicable securities laws.

WPIC: Platinum Market Facing Third Consecutive Deficit in 2025 as Supply Constraints Persist

The global platinum market is projected to face its third consecutive deficit in 2025 with a shortfall of 539,000 ounces, according to the latest quarterly report from the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC).

Demand across key sectors remains robust, outpacing mine production and recycling efforts.

The projected 2025 deficit will come after an expected shortfall of 682,000 ounces in 2024, driven by steady demand of 7,951,000 ounces against constrained supply of 7,269,000 ounces.

Top 5 Palladium and Platinum Countries by Production

Platinum-group metals (PGMs) include platinum, palladium, rhodium and other metals, all of which are prized for their durability, resistance to corrosion and excellent catalytic properties.

The automotive industry is the world’s largest consumer of these metals, which among other things are used in catalytic converters for vehicle exhaust systems. A rebound and continued growth in auto production is projected in the coming years, particularly in developing markets, and this should increase demand for PGMs, especially when it comes to platinum and palladium. On the supply side, the platinum market is expected to slide into a significant deficit in 2024 and beyond.

But where do platinum and palladium come from? The list of the world’s top palladium- and platinum-mining countries is a short one, and most PGMs come from South Africa and Russia.
