Crystal Peak intends to use the funds received from the Loan to fund the continuing development program for its specialty fertilizer project on the Sevier Playa in southwestern Utah, U.S.A. including construction and engineering activities for the project as well as for general working capital purposes.

The closing of the Loan is subject to certain customary closing conditions set out in the Loan Agreement and is expected to take place on or about June 29, 2017.
