Item 8.01                                           Other Events.

 

On January 31, 2014, we obtained an extension of our obligation to deliver a NI 43 101 technical report to The Karlsson Group, Inc. from February 1, 2014 to March 10, 2014 under the senior first priority secured promissory note, as amended, issued to The Karlsson Group.  The Karlsson Group became our senior secured lender in August 2012 following our purchase of The Karlsson Group’s 50% interest in our subsidiary American West Potash LLC, at which time we assumed full ownership and control of American West Potash, which is developing a potash mining facility in the Holbrook Basin of Arizona.  Although we will not be able to meet the March 10, 2014 delivery date, as explained below we hope to extinguish the Karlsson debt on or before that date.

 

On December 10, 2013, we agreed with The Karlsson Group that we can retire all amounts owing under the Karlsson Note for $25 million provided we pay this amount on or before March 10, 2014.  If we are unable to pay the $25 million on or before March 10, 2014, we would be in default of The Karlsson Group debt and the Karlsson Group could foreclose on all of our assets. A default on The Karlsson Group debt would cause the entire undiscounted amount then owing (approximately $150.0 million as of January 14, 2014) to become immediately due and payable and also cause a cross-default of our Apollo debt, which totaled approximately $7.3 million as of January 31, 2014.

 

We are in active discussions with private and strategic finance parties to raise additional money to support our operations and avoid defaulting on the Karlsson debt. As previously disclosed, we may decide to seek bankruptcy protection if we cannot raise sufficient funds to support our operations and pay the $25 million to extinguish our debt to The Karlsson Group.
