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.

About Gensource

Gensource is a fertilizer development company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is on track to become the next fertilizer production company in that province. With a modular and environmentally leading approach to potash production, Gensource believes its technical and business model will be the future of the industry. Gensource operates under a business plan that has two key components: (1) vertical integration with the market to ensure that all production capacity built is directed, and pre-sold, to a specific market, eliminating market-side risk; and (2) technical innovation which will allow for a modular and economic potash production facility, that demonstrates environmental leadership within the industry, producing no salt tailings, therefore eliminating decommissioning risk, and requiring no surface brine ponds, thereby removing the single largest and negative environmental aspect of potash mining.
