Sekita Agronomic Trials Update

ThermoPotash trials at Grupo Sekita Agronegocios ("Sekita") provided
inconclusive results. Testing conducted by Sekita was implemented in order to
compare the agronomic efficiency of granular ThermoPotash with potassium
chloride (KCl), on the productivity and quality of carrot crops. Sekita reports:
There was no statistical difference in productivity and quality of carrot
between treatments using ThermoPotash (TK) and potassium chloride (KCl) and
combined application of these two sources, and also compared to the control
treatment. With regard to the efficiency of the sources of potassium, the
Company expected greater agricultural efficiency from granular ThermoPotash as
compared to potassium chloride or the control. However, the release of nutrients
from ThermoPotash was observed to be hampered in the field because the granules
of the product showed a high degree of hardness and resistance to fragmentation.
This decreased the contact and reaction of these particles with the soil
preventing the release of total nutrients, thus reducing the efficiency of the
product. The Company did not previously observe these characteristics when it
supplied ThermoPotash in coarse form as opposed to granules. The company's
engineering team expects to resolve this issue by making a simple change to the
granulation process.
