Named after the village of Tugaske, this project will be developed on Gensource’s wholly-owned Vanguard Area. An environmental assessment approval is already complete. With strong financial partners with lenders KfW IPEX-Bank & Société Générale underwriting the Senior Debt Facility, the Tugaske Project is ready to proceed to construction upon securing last mile project financing.

Debt Financing in Progress
This greenfield construction project requires minimal footprint and is near key infrastructure such as highway & rail access, natural gas, power, water, and labour.
Similar to other Gensource module designs, the Tugaske Project will produce a minimum of 250,000 tonnes of muriate of potash (MOP) per year. HELM Fertilizers Corp, a US-based subsidiary of HELM AG, has agreed to purchase 100% of the annual production from the Tugaske Project and market directly to its customers using its own infrastructure for at least the first 10 years.
Tugaske will be one of the lowest cost producers in the industry
Average Retail Potash Price (Feb 2023) – US$742/tonne
