Pan American Fertilizer Corp plans to become a major supplier of fertilizer in South America by extracting and distributing calcium sulphate, also known as agricultural gypsum. The company owns mining rights to 1,406 hectares in Argentina that contain calcium sulphate deposits. Pan American has begun extracting calcium sulphate and selling it to local farmers, with plans to significantly increase production over the next few years. The company aims to acquire additional calcium sulphate deposits and fertilizer distribution assets to vertically integrate its operations and meet the substantial demand for fertilizer in the large agricultural markets of South America.

8. The Product – Calcium sulphate (CaSO4)
Used as a fertilizer, Calcium sulphate is a soft
sulphate mineral composed of calcium
sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4•2H2O) which is
O),
extremely rich in sulphur and calcium
When dissolved in water, it becomes calcium
ions (Ca2+) and sulphate-sulfur ions (SO42-).
Both of these ions are required nutrients for
plants
Calcium sulphate also plays a vital role in
establishing and maintaining good chemical
balance in soil, water and plants; specifically
helps with healthy root development and

10. New Fertilizer Model
NPK(S)
Conventional model: Nitrogen + Phosphorus + Potassium (NPK)
The basic NPK model now requires Sulphur (S) to solve the lack of this basic
element, so that soils keep on presenting the desired yields especially in soy
producing soil.
The improved sustainable agricultural NPK(S) model:
Nitrogen + Phosphorus + Potassium + Sulphur = NPK(S)

Technical Report*
Land Ownership details - The Estela-Cecilia calcium sulphate Property is owned by
and registered to Mr. Hector Eusebio Ibañez and is subject to a mining lease
Mr
agreement between Mr. Ibañez and Pan American Fertilizer. The agreement calls for
PAF to pay Mr. Ibañez a 13 percent net profit royalty (NPI), at a minimum of USD $6
per ton of calcium sulphate sold. The lease is valid for 20 years, starting December 21,
2010 with an option to renew for an additional 20 years
Historical work - limited amount of historical exploration work carried out by previous
operators
Geology - Property contains at least two or more one meter thick calcium sulphate
beds with average analytical grades ranging from 90.5 to 98.2 percent calcium
sulphate (CaSO4 2H2O) at least nineteen areas where calcium sulphate beds are
2H2O).
likely exposed at surface or covered by thin vegetation on the Property
Proposed Exploration program - total of 5 kilometers of road cut, 100 pits,
approximately 200,000 cubic meters of earth removal ( 5 areas of 200 meters by 200
meters) and 250 test samples for calcium sulphate analysis. The program would last
for a period of approximately 3 months at a cost of CDN $320,000
The goal of an exploration plan is to expose, sample and analyze new
calcium sulphate outcrop along a pre-determined grid or along sample points
with enough density to satisfy criteria for a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate

18. Global Soybean Market
Argentina and Brazil together account
for 46% of the global soybean
p
production
Soybean Farming requires more Calcium
sulphate as Soy plants absorb 3x more
Sulfur from the soil when they g
y grow than
other crops
Focus on the mono-culture of soybean
leads to significant demand for calcium
g
sulphate to replenish the sulphur content
in farmlands
PAF’s calcium sulphate assets are
located in northern Argentina, where
there is strong local demand for calcium
sulphate for soybean production
