Ceres Global Ag Corp. Announces Expansion Initiative for High Speed Grain Elevator at Northgate

TORONTO, Feb. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - Ceres Global Ag Corp. (TSX: CRP) ("Ceres" or the "Corporation") announces it has approved plans to expand capacity at its planned 2.2 million bushel high speed grain elevator at the Northgate Commodity Logistics Centre ("Northgate"). The expansion initiative is designed to enhance Ceres' soybean crop handling and oilseeds merchandising operations at Northgate.

The expansion will incorporate the construction of an additional steel storage bin and is projected to add up to 430,000 bushels of incremental grain storage and handling capacity for soybeans and canola at Northgate, resulting in total capacity of 2.7 mm bushels.  The expansion project is expected to incur a cost of $3.4 million (or $7.95 per bushel of capacity added).  The additional bin will be integrated into the planned design of the high speed grain elevator, which is expected to be completed in full by March 2016.

"The expansion will translate into diversifying our grain handling and storage capabilities at Northgate," stated CEO Patrick Bracken. "We anticipate the build out for additional grain and oilseed commodity products could also introduce the potential for margin enhancement within our trading and merchandising operations."
