UPDATE ON MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ANNOUNCED ON MARCH 11
On March 11, 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into a memorandum of understanding (“MOU”) with an unrelated third party (the “Interested Party”) as an initial step towards a proposed $15 Million investment by the Interested Party to advance the Company’s Alberta Potash Project. (See the Company’s news release dated March 11, 2014.) Subsequent to entering the MOU, the Company provided, under a confidentiality agreement, all data and information that it has pertaining to the project.
The Interested Party has not yet indicated its intentions with regard to negotiating a final agreement as contemplated by the MOU, but have advised that they continue to evaluate the project. The Company remains optimistic that the Interested Party will recognize the merits of the Alberta Potash Project. “We believe that the Alberta Potash Project, while still early stage and somewhat unproven, has enormous potential for a sizeable and economic extractable potash deposit,” said Brian Testo, “and our potential investors are being diligent and cautious in their assessment of the project, as they should be. While we trust that they will recognize the same potential for the project as we do, we are going to ensure that the Company has alternative means of advancing the Alberta Potash Project in the case that they decide not to continue. The addition of Ray Wytinck to the Board will give the Company direct access to the marketers and consumers of the final product of potash production, which may lead to new and innovative opportunities to advance our Alberta Potash Project.”
The Company will provide updates on the status of the MOU and negotiations with the Interested Party.
