Sennen Potash Corporation: Permitting Complete, New Leases Acquired & Drilling to Commence Shortly

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Aug 26, 2014) - Sennen Potash Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SN) ("Sennen" or the "Company"), along with its partners, Paradox Basin Resource Corp., is pleased to provide a project update on the Monument Potash Project ("Monument") in South East Utah and South West Colorado.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Completion of regional 2D seismic interpretation
• Maiden Johnson 1 Well selected and surveyed
• All required approvals and permits granted
• Johnson 1 Well pad Construction and spudding to commence shortly
• Approximately 4,640 net mineral acres of additional leases acquired

SEISMIC INTERPRETATION & WELL LOCATION SELECTION COMPLETE

Following the acquisition and interpretation of 2D seismic over approximately 440 km (275 miles) of the project area, Sennen completed a review and analysis of the interpreted seismic with RPS Canada and North Rim Exploration. The interpreted seismic indicated no structural challenges and demonstrated a continuous and flat salt cycle 18 formation in the area of the proposed initial Johnson 1 potash exploration well (the "Johnson 1 Well") being currently designed.

Seismic interpretation shows that the Paradox formation appears to have a calculated ispoach at the location of the Johnson 1 Well of approximately 860m (2,700 feet) thick with no evidence of salt dissolution or faulting in the area of interest.

The Johnson 1 Well location was selected based on seismic review and interpretation, anticipated thickness of salt cycle 18, good road access, surface terrain and use, proximity to existing wells/exploration data points and anticipation of spacing of drill holes for resource calculation purposes.

The Johnson 1 Well is located within 2 miles of the historic Western Natural #1 Charles Redd well which shows a notable gamma kick in salt cycle 18, indicating the presence of potash mineralization within the drill hole. As logs from this well did not include a scale notation, the gamma kick observed in that well serves only as a positive indicator for potash mineralization.

NEW LEASING

Based on supportive seismic and other exploration work conducted over the past year, the Company and its partner have acquired approximately 4,640 net mineral acres of additional private potash leases, bringing the total lease holdings to 106,842 net mineral acres.

PERMITTING & BONDING UPDATE

Engineering and geological analysis, pad planning and well design work, has been underway for several months now. The reports, applications and agreements required for the upcoming Johnson 1 Well have been completed and submitted. All required permits and approvals have been approved by the Utah State Division of Oil, Gas and Mining ("DGOM") and School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration ("SITLA") and the required reclamation bond of US$84,300 has been lodged with the State. These include:

• Notice of Intention to Conduct Exploration
• Exploration Plan for a potash core hole on SITLA lands
• Drilling Plan
• Road Use and Encroachment
• Division of Water Rights Permission
• Access and Surface Damage Agreement
• Cultural Resource Inventory
• Exploration Reclamation Contract

ACTIVITIES UPDATE

Sennen plans to start building the pad and commence drilling activities shortly. Long lead time items, including the securing of drilling, coring, fluid contractors and experienced site personnel are in the advanced stages of being finalized. The Company is pleased with the level of potash and broad mineral exploration experience available in local communities in close proximity to its substantial potash leasehold.

Ian Rozier, President and CEO of Sennen said: "With funding and the required permits and regulatory approvals in place, we are able to commence the drilling of our first well in the Paradox Basin shortly. Sennen's team, along with our experienced professional advisers and partners, have worked hard over the past 6 months to not only plan and design the upcoming drill programme, but also to further consolidated our considerable land holding. This has positioned the Company well for future exploration and development work."
