en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sage Potash Corp. (TSXV: SAGE) (OTCQB: SGPTF) announced amendments to the terms of a plant and equipment purchase agreement with International Process Plants and Equipment Corp. (IPP). The agreement originally became effective on July 1, 2025, and the amendments involve a total purchase price of €11 million for the acquisition of a brine processing plant located in the Netherlands and the United States.
The equipment being purchased includes three evaporators (which can be combined into a triple-effect evaporation system), three crystallizers, and auxiliary equipment such as pumps, centrifuges, and storage tanks, all stored by IPP in the Netherlands and the United States. Once installed as a unified system, this equipment can form a brine processing plant with a design capacity of up to 300,000 tonnes of potash per year.
Under the revised terms, the company has made a payment of €1.28 million, which includes a previously paid deposit of €838,000. Of this payment, €987,000 is applied to reduce the principal balance of the purchase price, while the remaining €293,000 is used to pay warehousing fees and interest. Following this payment, the purchase price balance has been reduced to €9.173 million. The company is also required to pay current and future monthly warehousing fees of €11,900. The parties have confirmed accrued but unpaid interest of €555,000, which will be partially or fully repaid through cash inflows from financing activities (including proceeds from the exercise of warrants or options) between now and October 2026 (referred to as "interim repayments"). In the company's next financing (if conducted before April 2027), it must pay the amount of €555,000 minus any interim repayments and allocate 20% of the financing proceeds to pay down the purchase price balance. The company must pay off the purchase price balance by April 30, 2027, with a final deadline of July 15, 2027.
In a separate agreement pending TSX-V approval, Sage Potash and IPP have agreed that, until the purchase price balance is fully paid, IPP has the right to convert up to 50% of the then-outstanding purchase price balance into common shares at a conversion price of C$0.25 per share, provided that the total number of shares issued to IPP does not exceed 15% of the company's then-issued and outstanding common shares.
Sage Potash management and the board stated that the company's primary objective remains the successful completion of the Sage Plain Potash Project's summer 2026 drilling program, aimed at expanding resource size and improving overall resource confidence. Following the drilling program, the company intends to engage an independent consultant to prepare an updated resource estimate incorporating the new drilling data. After obtaining the updated resource, Sage Potash plans to advance various engineering and technical studies to complete a pre-feasibility study (PFS) and ultimately a feasibility study (FS). Management is evaluating development scenarios significantly larger than the initial production scale of 150,000 to 300,000 tonnes per year contemplated in the company's September 2025 preliminary economic assessment (PEA). The September 2025 PEA already considered the utilization of the processing plant equipment covered by this purchase agreement.
Management believes that securing this equipment through the purchase agreement provides Sage Potash with significant strategic optionality as it advances toward potential production. Certain equipment components can support a unified pilot or initial production operation, or be integrated into larger development scenarios. This flexibility is expected to enhance the project's scalability while potentially shortening the timeline from feasibility study through construction to production.
Sage Potash Corp. is a company dedicated to developing its Sage Plain Potash Project, located in the Paradox Basin, Utah, USA. The company's goal is to establish a secure and sustainable domestic potash production platform in the United States.
