In this episode, we chat to Mike Ferguson, President, and CEO of Gensource Potash who are a Canada-based fertilizer development company, which is focused on developing resource opportunities with a specific focus on potash development.

Mike is a professional engineer with over 25 years of experience in potash and uranium and is leading the development of this greenfield property and tells us all about the company and their Tugaske project and the sustainable production methods used.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


Gensource Potash trades on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange and the London AIM Market.


Financing was very Europe-centric, so London is a good fit.


Taking a modular approach enables them to start small and easily find finance, then ramp up as fast as the market allows.


A single module of 250,000 tonnes production is a strong economic unit all by itself.


These small modules can be run at 100% capacity from day one, which improves capital efficiencies.


All product for the Saskatchewan facility is presold. A setup that virtually eliminates risk.


Gensource is turning potash mining into something more akin to a manufacturing process.


No salt tailings are created, which means no surface brine ponds.


All of their power and heat are self-generated. They plan to become a true net-zero operation.


Tugaske will be co-owned by Gensource and their partner Helm.


The cyclical mining approach they use enables them to use 75% less freshwater per tonne of product.


Working with Helm, Gensource is disrupting the market providing an alternative supply in a market where just five producer accounts for 75 to 80% of the supply.


Gensource´s supply chain has been greatly simplified, which saves a lot of money. It also has an extremely low carbon footprint.


A growing global population means demand for potash will continue to grow.


Construction is due to start production, in 2024.
