Sirius Minerals Plc
Update on current cash position
The Directors of Sirius Minerals Plc (AIM: SXX, OTCQX: SRUXY) ("Sirius" or the "Company"), the globally diversified potash development group, would like to correct current misinformation about the Company's financing plans for the York Potash Project.
As at 31 January 2013, the Company had a cash balance of GBP24 million and no immediate plans for a placement of shares.
The development of the world-class York Potash Project will require multiple financings and these will be carried out when required, when opportunities present themselves and always with the best value to shareholders in mind.
The Company is making excellent progress towards its goals and continually reviews multiple options on how best to finance the rapid development of the York Potash Project.
