IC Potash Announces Retention of Consultant to Complete Technical Report on Updated Feasibility Study of Ochoa Project

19.05.2017  |  GlobeNewswire
Investigation of Opportunities to Monetize Water Assets, and Extension of Warrants Expiring May 20, 2017 to Non-Insiders

TORONTO, May 19, 2017 - IC Potash Corp. (TSX:ICP) (OTCQB:ICPTF) (“IC Potash” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has retained Resource Development Inc. (“RDI”) and Gustavson Associates, both based in Denver, Colorado, to finalize the compilation of the work done on the updated feasibility study for the Ochoa Project and generate a NI 43-101 compliant technical report. The Company anticipates the report will be available before the end of the second quarter. The Company has also been advised that the United States Department of the Interior has upheld the granting of permits and leases for the Ochoa Project which will enable Intercontinental Potash Corp. (USA) (“ICPUSA”) to seek project financing on more favourable terms for the benefit of all shareholders, including the Company.

In addition, modeling undertaken within the Preliminary Economic Study and 43-101 compliant Technical Report dated October 28, 2016, has indicated that the water resources contained in the Capitan Reef Complex aquifer located beneath the Ochoa Project area will not be fully required for production. On this basis, the Company has begun exploring possible opportunities for consideration by ICPUSA to generate revenue from these water resources. The Company believes that there is significant potential for revenue generation.

Finally, the Company has received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange to extend certain warrants held by non-insiders, previously set to expire on May 20, 2017, for 6 months.

The Company currently has 13,798,891 warrants exercisable at $0.08 expiring on May 20, 2017 representing 6.26% of the issued and outstanding capital of the Company. IC Potash has obtained warrant holder approval to extend 13,298,891 warrants held by arm’s length parties (the “Warrants”) for six months, to October 20, 2017. The exercise price will remain unchanged at $0.08 and the acceleration clause will remain in effect. All other terms of the Warrants will also remain unchanged. 500,000 warrants held by one insider will not be extended. These Warrants were originally issued as part of a private placement undertaken in May of 2016. The Warrants will not be exercisable until the 10th business day after the date of this press release. On May 12, 2017, the day warrant holders agreed to the extension, the closing price of the Company’s common shares was $0.07 and therefore the Warrants were not in the money.
