Gensource Potash Applauds Federal Productivity Mega Deduction Announced in Toronto, Highlights Transformative Impact for Tugaske Project
Gensource Potash’s Tugaske project benefits from a new Canadian tax deduction, improving economics ahead of the final investment decision.
The Canadian Federal Government’s "Productivity Mega Deduction" allows for the 100% immediate expensing of eligible capital investments, reducing Canada's marginal effective tax rate on new business investment from approximately 13% to 6.4%.
Gensource Potash Corporation (GSP) reports that the Tugaske Project Technical Refresh is 90% complete, targeting a doubled capacity of 500,000 tonnes/year of MOP. The finalization of the technical report is expected in fall 2026, serving as the basis for project financing and the anticipated Final Investment Decision (FID). Off-take agreements are in place for full planned production, targeting U.S. and Southeast Asian markets, while financing discussions with an ASEAN partner are advancing.
Gensource Potash Corporation (GSP) has quantified the financial impact of the federal government’s publicly announced tax policy on its Tugaske project. The company describes the update as a positive but expected development, noting that the market likely already priced in the tax benefit given the policy's public nature and the company's prior communications regarding improved project economics.
Technical refresh progress on the project is now 90% complete, a direct follow-up to the 60% completion reported in the July 2026 update and the initiation phase in March 2026. No new financing has closed, no definitive offtake agreements have been signed, and the project timeline remains unchanged.
Gensource Potash Corporation is developing the Tugaske Potash Project in south-central Saskatchewan. The flagship project utilizes a proprietary solution mining process that eliminates surface tailings and avoids the need for traditional brine or cooling ponds.
The company has upsized the original capacity of 250,000 tonnes per annum to 500,000 tonnes per annum. The resource base includes 360 million tonnes of finished MOP product identified on less than 10% of the lease area. The project is fully permitted for the first module, and an NI 43-101 report is currently being updated for the expansion. Gensource Potash Corporation employs a direct-to-market strategy targeting U.S. and Southeast Asian agricultural markets.
