Sage Potash Announces Engagement of Connecticut-Based Investment Bank ACP Capital Markets as Exclusive Financial Advisor

November 21, 2023 – Vancouver, BC – Sage Potash Corp. (TSXV: SAGE) (OTCQB: SGPTF) (“Sage Potash” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its collaboration with Connecticut-based investment bank, ACP Capital Markets (referred to as “ACP”). ACP will serve as the exclusive financial advisor to Sage Potash, bolstering the company’s near-term financing goals. This collaboration is poised to ignite Sage Potash’s district-scale Sage Plains Potash Project situated in Utah’s prolific Paradox Basin.

Sage Potash is actively advancing the Sage Potash project, focusing Resource Definition, and permitting that will allow for drilling of geological wells that will double as water access, cavern development and waste disposal wells, all of which will support the establishment of an initial demonstration (pilot potash recovery) plant. ACP will work closely with Sage Potash to secure the necessary funding required to execute the establishment of a 20,000 to 50,000 TPY operation. This initial production phase will not only kickstart project cash flow but also provide valuable insights into solution mining production methods, facilitating further refinement and scalability.

This partnership underscores Sage Potash’s commitment to the success of the Sage Plains potash project and represents a significant step toward realizing its full potential.

Peter Hogendoorn, CEO of Sage Potash Corp., expressed, “We are pleased to announce our partnership with ACP Capital Markets. Their expertise and deep reach to knowledgeable AG investors and strategic partners will be key to creating a financial structure that leverages valuation at the project level. ACP has a proven track record of unlocking agriculture asset value throughout the agriculture supply chain, making them the perfect collaborator for our journey ahead. Their involvement will play a significant role in driving our mission to advance the Sage Plain Project as the only significant potash deposit that is able to insulate American potash production from global market fluctuations. ACP’s client universe understands these growing complexities and the need to establish domestic supply of potash for national food security.”

Mark Bishop, Managing Director and Head of Resources at ACP Capital Markets, commented, “As long-term players in the US and Latin American agribusiness sector, partnering with Sage Potash represents an exceptional opportunity for our relationship base and for Sage. Sage’s commitment to revolutionising the landscape by bringing a strategic asset to production aligns perfectly with our mission to drive exceptional financial growth and set new benchmarks within this sector. We share the vision to provide America with a domestic supply of potash, essential for retaining true food independence. This partnership heralds an exciting journey ahead, marking a significant step towards unlocking      shareholder value. ACP is proud to be a key piece in this transformative puzzle and are enthusiastic about the immense potential for Sage.”
