This  news release contains Forward Looking Statements regarding our
intentions and plans. Forward looking statements in this news release
include that two wells will be drilled to collect drill core for
geochemical analysis, rock mechanic studies, and dissolution laboratory
testing; that results from the geochemical analysis will be used to
update future resource calculations; that an updated NI 43-101 resource
calculation and technical report will be completed by Agapito Associates
Inc. ('AAI?), incorporating new potash results from this drilling
program. Readers are cautioned that: mineral resources that are not
mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability until they
are upgraded; that management is studying the possibility of
consolidating the pre and final feasibility processes, and producing and
publishing only a final feasibility suitable for reaching a production
decision and for attracting project debt finance; that management will
be making future recommendations to the board as to the scope of the PFS
yet to be completed and that such recommendations may change over time;
that any analysis is based on a cash flow estimate, it should be
expected that actual financial results would vary from these
predictions; that an accuracy assessment of the cost estimates will be
completed as part of this study; various factors may prevent or delay
our plans, including but not limited to, contractor availability and
performance, weather, access, mineral prices and success and failure of
the exploration and development carried out at various stages of the
program. Readers should review risk factors applicable to junior mining
exploration companies generally to understand the variety of risks that
can affect the Company. It is the Company′s policy not to update
forward-looking statements other than as required by applicable
securities laws and regulations.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider
(as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange)
