"Joining API is an exciting opportunity," said Mr. Boyd. "The Company has made
great progress in positioning itself as a possible low-cost conventional potash
producer. The Burr Project is a "best-in-class" project supported by a strong
board and excellent professional team and staff. I look forward to working with
this team and its advisors to move the Burr Project through the completion of
its pre-feasibility and feasibility studies and, at the same time, continuing to
evaluate the range of strategic options for the Company that will deliver value
for our shareholders."
