Karnalyte Resources Inc. Provides Update to Shareholders
CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - June 04, 2015) - Karnalyte Resources Inc. ("Karnalyte" or the "Company") (TSX: KRN) today provides an update to shareholders in advance of Karnalyte's upcoming annual general meeting of shareholders to be held at the Delta Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon at 10:00 am on June 23, 2015. Karnalyte's President, Robin Phinney, writes:
"I would like to personally thank Karnalyte's shareholders for their overwhelming support through the proxy contest over the past year. Your support for change in Karnalyte's board and management is a resounding vote of confidence in the value of the Wynyard Carnallite Project and the team to move the Company forward.
"Despite the one year delay, Karnalyte remains very well positioned to develop the Project. Potash prices are rebounding, and we have re-hired our engineering and technical teams to carry out the planned pilot program to optimize KCl concentration and confirm the design parameters in the Feasibility Study and Technical Report. We are well positioned to bring the Project to the next level, and most importantly, we have a Framework Agreement with KRN's largest shareholder, Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd., to negotiate a major round of financing to fund the project which could be transformative for the Company.
"I strongly encourage shareholders to attend Karnalyte's AGM to meet your new Board of Directors, Management and Technical Teams."
