The Sazwan family pioneered the sulphur fertilizer and calcium production in North America and have been collaborating with the Rahimtula family on successful international fertilizer trade deals for over seven decades. Collectively, they bring their combined expertise and business relationships to advance Sage's potash project through pilot production and beyond.

"We are extremely pleased to add Clark to our board together with his multi-generational legacy experience. This collaboration represents a seminal opportunity for the Sazwan and Rahimtula families to participate in upstream potash production, to the benefit of our shareholders," said Peter Hogendoorn , CEO of Sage Potash Corp.

Clark Sazwan , Owner and Director of Tiger Tank Lines, former Owner and current Director of Tiger Calcium and the Director/Owner of Keg River Chemicals, will be joining the Board of Directors immediately. Clark brings decades of mining, agricultural and fertilizer industry expertise to Sage Potash , further strengthening the leadership team. Widely known for developing the sulphur fertilizer industry in North America , Sazwan's family ran Tiger Industries and spent decades as industry leaders while maintaining the lowest production costs.

" Sage Potash is poised for growth and innovation in the American potash market. I am thrilled to be a part of this project and help guide the company to become a leading supplier of potash to the American and eventually global markets," said Clark Sazwan , Member of Board of Directors, Sage Potash Corp.

Amir Rahimtula , is President of Transnational Enterprises, a Canadian trading company founded by his father in 1979, Ali Rahimtula , intended to extend a North American presence of the Rahimtula Group, founded by Amir's grandfather, Amir Ali Rahimtula Sr. , the first Chairman of the Fertilizer Association of India . The Rahimtula Group was established in 1956 and has been a significant player in India's fertilizer sector for over six decades.

Amir brings a wealth of global financial and trading expertise, with his extensive experience suppling international fertilizer manufacturers with critical raw materials and finished fertilizers, developing global logistics infrastructure, structuring high value financial deals, and fostering notable business relationships with global financial trade industry leaders.

The Company is also pleased to announce Shilo Sazwan as our Strategic Operations Partner. Mr Sazwan brings over three decades of strategic operations experience and business relationships in the fertilizer industry. Mr Sazwan served as the Chief Operating Officer at Tiger Calcium, a leading producer and supplier of calcium chloride and sulphur fertilizer in North America . He has a proven track record for developing cost-effective and cutting-edge plant infrastructure, leading industry products and exceptional customer service.

"Shilo's strategic, operational expertise is crucial in guiding the building of cost-effective infrastructure required for rapid production and will position Sage Potash as a premier supplier in the American market and beyond," said Peter Hogendoorn , CEO of Sage Potash Corp.

As COO at Tiger Calcium, Sazwan oversaw 500 employees and championed the development of multiple industry-leading calcium and fertilizer plants, all with custom in-house technologies and a logistics division with direct shipping, including railcars and trucking fleets. Sazwan brings essential experience in developing and operating mechanical evaporation techniques to Sage - a process critical to Sage Potash's vision of implementing an environmentally friendly process versus the more commonly used solar evaporation technique. Under his leadership, strong community relations were pivotal; Tiger Calcium was the most significant contributor to the food bank in the region, and Shilo received a medal of honour for his instrumental leadership in helping the community of Slave Lake Alberta manage devastating wildfires.

" Sage Potash is at an exciting juncture, and I am honoured to partner with the company into its next chapter. I am looking forward to building a world-class team and working to bring Sage's vision of sustainable solution mining to life at the Sage Plain property in Utah ," said Shilo Sazwan .

Sage Potash Secures Permit Approvals for Exploration Program at Sage Plain Potash Project

Sage Potash Secures Permit Approvals for Exploration Program at Sage Plain Potash Project

Sage Potash Corp. ("Sage Potash", "Sage" or the "Company") (TSXV: SAGE) (OTCQB: SGPTF) is pleased to announce the receipt of all required governmental approvals for two Class V exploration wells at its Sage Plain Potash Project ("Project" or "Property") located in Utah's Paradox Basin.

Sage Potash Logo (CNW Group/Sage Potash Corp.)

Sage Potash CEO & Executive Chairman, Peter Hogendoorn , stated, "Sage's successful drilling permit applications represent a pivotal milestone on the Company's path to achieving pilot-scale potash mining and processing activities. The approved exploration wells will not only allow us to increase our understanding of the Sage Plain mineral resource, comprised in the Upper and Lower Cycle 18 potash beds underlying the Property, but these same wells will, in future, be transitioned to injection production and disposal wells. This is a highly significant de-risking event for the Company, as the most consequential permit approvals for the Project have now been secured, pending bonding."

The State of Utah's Division of Oil, Gas, and Mining ("UDOGM"), and Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") have issued tentative approvals for both surface (drill pads and access roads) and underground (wells) activities. This is part of the Underground Injection Control ("UIC") Class V exploration injection permit application for a production and disposal well submitted by the Company in March 2023 . Formal drill permits will be issued once bonding is received and approved and the Company has received written acceptance from UDOGM, as well as other applicable agencies.

The execution of the now approved exploration program represents Phase 1 of the Sage Plain Project development effort. The two Class V wells will be designed and constructed under the standards and specifications of a UIC Class III "Production well" and UIC Class I "Disposal well". The wells will allow for determination of injection capacity and hydraulic behaviours of the potash and potential disposal formations, as well as providing management with geological data through examination of the drill core, as part of test cavern development for potash recovery from the Cycle 18 potash beds. Once the data from the exploration wells is gathered, the Company will apply to convert these wells into UIC Class I and Class III wells for the purpose of injection, production and disposal, allowing for potash brine fluids recovery.

Concurrently with the Class I and Class III permits conversion, the Company will submit the Large Mine Operation ("LMO") permit for up to 150,000 TPY. In partnership with global engineering firm RESPEC, Sage is advancing engineering and designs for a 50,000 TPY pilot-scale potash solution mining operation, as part of its ongoing engineering studies and production permit application. Data from this program, along with plant design and engineering details, will be included to complete the final LMO application for permit approval.

Following receipt of the news that the Company had secured governmental approval for the Class V wells, Sage Potash CEO & Executive Chairman, Peter Hogendoorn, expressed renewed confidence in the coming year, stating, "We recognize the prevailing capital market conditions for conventional project advancement are extremely difficult. As a result, the Company and, in particular, the team in our US subsidiary, Sage Potash ( USA ) Corp., have focused on permitting and engineering, whereby value can be realized at the 'Project level'. With the developments to date, together with the highly strategic land position of contiguous State and Private mineral leases from which up to 70 mining units, each consisting of 320 acres, can be developed, management believes the Project has now achieved significant milestones and, accordingly, eliminated substantial barriers to entry, which can be value realized in terms of time and capital for strategic interests."

Hogendoorn continued, "As previously announced, the Company recently retained ACP Capital Markets LLC ("ACP"), an internationally recognized Capital Markets Adviser and Investment Banking firm, based in Stamford, Connecticut , with a proven track record in selecting and financing under-valued projects in the AgriBusiness sector, such as the Sage Plain Potash Project. The Company is working diligently with ACP in identifying and engaging with strategic industry partners and institutional investors. We are confident our achievements over the past year, including recently securing the most consequential permit approvals for the Project, will facilitate our ongoing efforts at the Project level and with ACP and, accordingly, optimize our ability to realize and deliver significant value to Sage Potash shareholders."

Milestone Phase 1 Project Suspends Site Operations

Western Resources Corp. (TSX: WRX) ("Western" or the "Company") announces that, following a decision of the Company's Board on May 17 th 2024, Western Potash Corp., the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, has temporarily suspended operations at its Milestone Phase 1 Project ("Project") site so that the Company can focus its efforts on discussions in respect of additional Project financing.

The Project is approximately 93% complete in the existing plan. Construction of the process plant has been completed and most of the equipment has been dry-commissioned. Management expects that two new horizontal caverns will be added which the Company and Western Potash Corp. believe will bring the Project to initial production stage.

Nutrien Reports US$165 Million in Q1 Net Earnings, Highlights Strong Demand

Major fertilizer producer Nutrien (TSX:NTR,NYSE:NTR) shared its first quarter results on May 8, reporting net earnings of US$165 million for the period, down 71 percent year-on-year.

Adjusted EBITDA came in at US$1.1 billion, a 26 percent year-on-year decline, while Nutrien recorded adjusted net earnings per share of US$0.46, a fall of 50 percent over the same timeframe.

The company said the decreases came on the back of lower net fertilizer selling prices, but pointed to strong demand for crop inputs. It is seeing strong potash demand in North America, as well as Southeast Asia, where lower inventory levels are supporting buying. Nutrien also pointed to strong Q1 potash imports from China.

How to Invest in Potash (Updated 2024)

The world's population is increasing rapidly and is expected to reach over 9.7 billion by 2050.

This situation is creating positive fundamentals for the agricultural sector, including the potash market. A larger population means much higher amounts of food will be needed; however, with more people will come further urbanization and less farmland with which to work, meaning farmers will have no choice but to increase crop yields.

That's where fertilizers like potash come in. Potash fertilizer not only provides essential nutrients to food, but also improves water retention in plants and strengthens their roots and stems. It also has a role to play in the burgeoning cannabis industry.

Agriculture Market Forecast: Top Trends That Will Affect Potash and Phosphate in 2024

Prices for diammonium phosphate (DAP) and potash slid through the first half of 2023, but as the second half of the year wore on, prices diverged, with DAP gaining strength and potash continuing to trend lower.

The differential was largely due to record high pricing in 2022 that saw farmers reduce their use of DAP and potash products in favor of experimenting with nutrient efficiency and enhanced products.

“The potash market certainly remains exposed to further disruption to production into 2023 and could see supply tighten quickly if demand recovers rapidly from its current lull," Humphrey Knight of CRU Group said at the start of 2023. "However, a more gradual recovery in demand appears more likely, meaning supply should remain adequate.”

Top 10 Potash Countries by Production (Updated 2024)

Robust demand for potash pushed prices to a 13 year high in 2021, and that trend continued in the first half of 2022 as price levels rose on supply chain concerns sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

In mid-May 2022, the World Bank said global fertilizer prices were up 30 percent for the year so far, adding that those price-positive conditions were expected to continue through the year and beyond. In fact, bullish sentiment had major market participants such as BHP (NYSE:BHP,ASX:BHP,LSE:BHP) investing billions into new potash production.

All of this was welcome news for potash investors — many potash-mining operations have closed in recent years, and some are waiting on the sidelines for better days and improvements in potash prices.
