Allana Potash Announces Completion and Positive Preliminary Interpretation of Its Seismic Program

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/11 -- Allana Potash Corp. (TSX VENTURE: AAA) ('Allana' or the 'Company'), is pleased to announce that it has received preliminary interpretation 2D seismic profiles from the survey completed in late 2010. The survey totaled approximately 48 kilometres of 2D seismic and focused on the extensive southern part of the evaporite basin which occupies the majority of Allana's land position (see attached figure). Tesla-IMC continues to incorporate new drill information into its interpretations which will provide important information for delineating the extent of the potash horizon.

The preliminary seismic interpretations, coupled with drill hole information as well as downhole geophysical results suggest strong continuity of the potash horizon and evaporite stratigraphy across the southern part of the basin where the survey was conducted. Additional drilling will further test these results and will help to refine the model and characterize the potash zones.

Farhad Abasov, Allana's President and CEO, stated: 'Allana is very pleased with the preliminary seismic interpretations by Tesla-IMC which indicate strong continuity of potash horizons. This data will be extremely helpful in determining the extent and continuity of the potash horizons, which will be key in further resource updates. The interpretations will be updated as new drill hole information, such as recently released drill hole DK-11-11, becomes available to characterize the potash mineralization. This is particularly important in areas such as hole 11, which has seen very limited exploration in the past. Allana is also planning to drill several holes on the eastern part of the project as a result of the seismic interpretation.'
