Gensource announces closing of non-brokered private placement

SASKATOON, Dec. 28, 2015 /CNW/ - Gensource Potash Corporation ("Gensource" or the "Company") (TSX.V: GSP) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing.  The Company raised gross proceeds of $530,099.50 through the sale of 7,572,850 Non-Flow-Through ("HD") units at $0.07 per share and $1,000,000 through the sale of 12,500,000 flow through ("FT") units at $0.08 per share.  The company paid a total of $19,607 in finders fees and has issued 280,100 broker warrants associated with the closing.

Each Unit consisted of one (1) common share and one-half (1/2) common share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.12 for a period of twenty-four (24) months. Each Broker Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Unit at an exercise price of $0.07 for a period of 24 months following the Closing Date.  The net proceeds from the sale of HD units will be used to advance engineering and begin environmental licensing work for Gensource's first Lazlo area project and general working capital purposes.  Net proceeds from the sale of the FT units will be put towards the planned drilling and seismic program in the Lazlo area.

All securities issued in conjunction with the Offering are subject to a four-month statutory hold period in Canada, and completion of the Offering is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

This financing is part of Gensource's previously announced plan to continue  development work at its Lazlo site.  The overall financing was planned at $800,000 in HD units plus up to $3M in FT units (as disclosed in Gensource's News Release dated October 20, 2015.), with the full proceeds to be collected in a number of tranches.   Including the initial tranche closed on November 4^th, 2015, Gensource has now, with the current closing, over achieved the HD target while making significant progress on the FT target.

Gensource's CEO, Mike Ferguson, stated "…We are very pleased with the response of the market to our project development plans, which are based on our business plan of vertical integration and small scale operations.  We continue to find strong support from those who understand the potash industry and understand our disruptive business model.  We see clearly that the industry should not be defined and controlled from the production side but rather, from the market side.   With that as the driving fundamental, together with our selective mining technologies, Gensource continues its plans to become a new, independent, small scale producer in the potash industry."

About Gensource

Gensource is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is focused on re-inventing the potash industry by becoming a new, independent potash producer.  Gensource plans to accomplish this goal by creating a vertically integrated business structure in partnership with a specific market and developing the next potash production facility in Saskatchewan as a small operation that will specifically serve the selected market.  The new facility is planned to use up-to-date selective dissolution technologies, which would result in a small operation that leaves no salt tailings on surface, uses no fresh surface water and creates a smaller carbon footprint than current operations in the province. Gensource's President and CEO, Mike Ferguson P.Eng., has assembled a management and technical team with direct and specific expertise and experience in potash development in Saskatchewan. The operations of Gensource are in the development stage only and there is no actual mineral production. Without a formal independent feasibility study, there is no assurance that mineral production is feasible on an economic basis.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
