One Million tonne per Annum Feasibility Studies Based on the previously announced decision (August 23, 2012) that the Company had decided to prepare a Feasibility Study for a one million tonne per annum phosphate rock concentrate project, the Company wishes to confirm that GBM Minerals Engineering Consultants Limited ("GBMMEC"), the Company's project managers, have confirmed that this Feasibility Study will be completed by September 30, 2012. In addition, the Company has requested GBMMEC to prepare a 1 million tonne per annum Direct Shipping Option (DSO) Feasibility Study that is expected to be completed in the same time frame. The Company will review these Feasibility Studies and expects to disseminate a News Release during the later part of the following week to describe the results of the Feasibility Studies. $5 million Private Placement The Company wishes to announce the terms of a private placement of up to $5 million that will be undertaken to fund working capital, ongoing detailed engineering and design and discussions and negotiations with offtakers, strategic investors and the project level funding necessary to develop the Farim Phosphate Project. Under the terms of the up to $5 million private placement, the Company will offer up to 100 million Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit.  Each Unit will be comprised of one common share and one half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant").  Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to acquire a Common Share at a price of $0.10 per share for a period of 18 months from the date the Warrant is issued. Two Million tonne per Annum Phosphate Rock Concentrate Bankable Feasibility Study Phase Two beneficiation of the Farim Phosphate Project contemplates two million tonnes per annum of phosphate rock concentrate to process the balance of the phosphate resource existing after the first phase of one million tonne per annum.  The Feasibility Study for the two million tonne per year phosphate rock beneficiation project will be completed by October 31, 2012 to allow completion of the Feasibility Studies for the one million tonne per year projects. Summary The Company is investigating three production scenario alternatives for the progressive development of the Farim Phosphate Project, depending on the phosphate market conditions, the economic and political climate in Guinea Bissau and the availability of capital and skilled manpower to develop the Farim Phosphate Project: 1. the 1 million tonne per annum direct shipping option (DSO); 2. the 1 million tonne per annum phosphate rock concentrate beneficiation; and 3. the 2 million tonne per annum phosphate rock concentrate beneficiation.
