Western Potash Corp. (“Western”) is pleased to announce that the processing plant of the Milestone Potash Phase 1 Project (the “Project”) is transitioning from the construction phase to the commissioning phase. In addition, the Operations team has officially begun preparation for start-up and operations. The Project is located about 35 km southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan.

Vancouver BC – Western Resources Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX: WRX) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned Western Potash Corp. (“Western”) has received approval of the Ministry of Environment (“Ministerial Approval”) to extend the mine life of the Milestone Potash Phase 1 Project (“Project”) to 40 years.

The Project is designed as a selective solution mine which, in contrast with traditional potash mining and solution mining, is expected not to produce salt tailings on surface, thereby substantially reducing the environmental impact. The construction of the Project was kicked off in June 2019 with an anticipated production 146,000 metric tonnes per year and mine life as 12 years. As the Project progressed, Western applied for an extension of the mine life to 40 years, as resource reviews supported this change.

The Ministerial Approval was given after the Ministry of Environment reviewed the change proposals from Western and concluded that they will not result in any significant, additional environmental impacts and was satisfied that the requirements of the Environmental Assessment Act have been met. The Ministerial Change Approval takes effect on February 17, 2023.

Western CEO and President, Mr. Bill Xue said, “The Ministerial Approval supports the Project’s long-term goal of being a sustainable supplier of potash. I have no doubt that the approval will bring to our shareholders and investors more confidence in the potentials of this innovative Project. I am excited that the construction of the Phase 1 Project will be completed in May this year, followed by commissioning. I have confidence that our team will be able to achieve first production by the end of this year.”

Western Potash Corp. (“Western” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the company has filed an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report (the “Report”) for its Milestone Phase 1 Project (the “Phase 1 Project”) on SEDAR on December 29, 2021, in conjunction with the filing of the Parent Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements, Management Discussion & Analysis, and Annual Information Form. These documents are now available at www.sedar.com.

Western released preliminary findings of the Report in a news release dated November 19, 2021. In the Report, the after-tax project net present value (“NPV”) is $CAD197.7M compared with $CAD225.8M reported in the November 19, 2021 news release. The Phase 1 Project’s post-tax internal rate of return remains unchanged at 20.4%. The change in NPV is due to revised product transportation costs, adjustments to project taxation, and production optimizations. The revised financial model supporting the Report is part of a continual improvement process for the Phase 1 Project to provide the best possible outcomes and reduce project risk. The Report also confirms an expansion of the mine life from 12 to 40 years.

This news release was reviewed by Kyle Krushelniski, P.Eng., of March Consulting Associates Inc., who is a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 and is the lead author of the updated NI 43-101 Technical Report, on which this news release is based.

Western Potash Corp. is pleased to report on the overall status of and progress on the Company’s Milestone Potash Phase 1 Project (the “Project”) , and the Company’s gradual phase out of its real estate investments from its business model in order to improve its financial position and refocus its efforts on the successful completion of the Project.

Since suspending construction of the Project in May of last year, Western has continued advancing and optimizing its mining operations. These are key to securing the remaining project financing required to complete the balance of plant construction. From April 28, 2020, when hot mining started, until its suspension on May 28 this year, Western’s operation team has accumulated extensive experience and collected valuable mining data relevant to the application of its innovative solution mining technology. After extensive analysis of the data, and with the help of a number of leading solution mining experts, Western is developing an optimized solution mining plan.

The new plan is to focus on the increase of solution mining efficiency and life span of the mining caverns. To have those positive changes reflected in the overall economic assessment of the Project, Western has engaged a third-party engineering firm to review the operation plans and update its National Instrument 43-101 technical report. The updated report will also include an anticipated increase in the Project’s mine life from 12 to 40 years. Key findings of the report are expected to be released by mid-October 2021.

In terms of financing, the Company would like to express its utmost thanks to all the contractors and suppliers for their kind understanding and support and we are pleased to note that majority of key creditors have agreed to extend Western’s payment deadlines, which enables Western to focus on obtaining the investments necessary to secure Project financing. Although the Company and Western have been faced with certain challenges and uncertainties, our goal remains to complete Project financing by end of this year, which is expected to allow Western to pay off outstanding creditors, and to restart mining operations and Project construction.

In order to support the Company’s liquidity, the Company commenced the process of selling its real estate investments earlier this year, with all property sales expected to close by the end of the 3rd quarter of this year. Thereafter, the Company will focus its business efforts solely on the development of the Project.

Western Potash Corp. (“Western” or “the Company”) announces that it is delaying completion of construction for the balance of the Milestone Phase 1 Project (“Phase 1 Project”) process plant from July to the end of this year.

The Phase 1 Project is already 83% complete in the overall status. It has completed engineering, procurement, construction of infrastructure, crystallization pond, electrical distribution systems, brine heating and pumping systems to support operation of commercial solution mining. A significant portion of the balance of plant including the Process Plant, Compaction and Loadout has also been constructed, with only limited equipment still to be delivered and installed. The unfinished portion does not affect the on-going solution mining operations.

Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused economic issues on a global scale and as a result  delayed our ability to complete the final tranche of funding as previously planned; this has slowed down our ability to complete construction for the balance of the plant. The Company continues working with potential investors to complete the final tranche of funding, as well as pursuing alternative sources of financing for the completion of the remaining construction. Nevertheless, the Company will continue the operation of full-scale hot mining to consistently build up inventory of potash in the crystallization pond, getting ready for harvesting by the end of the year.

Western Potash Corp. CEO and President, Fritz Venter, said, “I would like to stress that WPC is fully committed to completing this exciting and innovative project. We have already demonstrated that solution mining using horizontal drilling works and completed an impressive amount of the construction of the processing plant. We will continue to work closely with all stakeholders during this time. Once funding is confirmed we will re-start construction. We have full confidence in the ultimate success of the Phase 1 Project”.

Western Potash Corp (“Western” or “the Company”) is very pleased to announce that it has safely and successfully completed the Phase I production drilling program, and has start solution mining into all three horizontal caverns. These are the first intentionally drilled and connected horizontal potash caverns in Saskatchewan, and signify a new and improved method of extracting potash in the province.

The drilling included three directionally drilled production wells, which were then connected to injection wells. Advanced horizontal drilling techniques were used to target the high-grade potash bed, and measurements confirmed the consistency along the entire length of the horizontal wells.  After casing and tubing was placed, water from the crystallization pond was successfully circulated into the injection well and back out the production well in all three caverns.

Pumping will be ongoing to enlarge the caverns and saturate the brine with salt in preparation for the start of hot mining in early 2020. Hot mining will recirculate brine into the caverns and preferentially extract the KCl (leaving the NaCl in place underground), building an inventory of potash in the crystallization pond over the winter.

By the third Quarter of 2020 the process plant will be constructed and ready to harvest the inventory of potash in the pond. The plant will then de-brine, dry and compact the potash and truck to the local Port Lajord fertilizer distribution center for sale via Archer Daniel Midlands (ADM), who has signed a binding off-take for the entire Phase I production. Appropriate operating permits were obtained as part of the on-going permitting process, and the project continues to work in close conjunction with the RM of Lajord, Provincial Government, the local community and businesses.

Mr. Fritz Venter, President and CEO of Western Potash Corp., commented:

“The entire drilling program was completed safely on schedule and budget, and we are very excited about the possibilities this new method of solution mining potash provides in the province. We would  like to thank our own team and the over 30 Saskatchewan and Alberta companies that have been involved in the project, including Artisan Consulting Services Ltd. who provided overall drilling supervision and Akita Drilling who provided the drill rig and crew to operate the rig.”

Regina SK – Western Potash Corp. (“Western” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a lump-sum agreement with Stuart Olson Prairie Construction to be the General Contractor for the construction of the Company’s Milestone Phase I Potash Project (“Phase I Project” or “Project”) located 35 km southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan.

Stuart Olson (TSX: SOX, SOX.DB.A) is one of the largest and most respected construction services companies in Canada. Their unique approach to doing business, as well as extensive construction and industrial services proved a perfect partner for the project. Founded over 100 years ago in Western Canada, Stuart Olson has offices across Canada and will be drawing a large proportion of their trades from the local area.

The Western Phase I Potash Project will be the newest and most innovative, environmentally friendly and capital efficient new potash mine in Canada. By utilizing advanced drilling techniques, the project will be able to initially target the high-grade potash bed, then by using selective dissolution, preferentially leach the potash to the surface. This means that any salt is left underground and there is no tailings pile at the surface, thereby reducing the water consumption by half. The potash is then crystalized naturally in a pond due to the temperature change, resulting in much lower energy consumption and a capital cost proportionally less than other solution mines. The project has already completed the early work to prepare the site including an access road, site clearing and piling foundations, water well, water pipeline and power infrastructure. The civil work of the crystallization pond has also been completed. The site is now ready for the start of full construction with Stuart Olson.

Stuart Olson’s general contractor scope will include the construction of all above ground facilities, including concrete, steel and pipework, installation of equipment, electrical and control system work, building work and site finishing. Stuart Olson will mobilize to the project site in June 2019, with an anticipated maximum workforce of around 100 people on site. With their heritage in Western Canada and diverse experience, they have the skills, experience and resources to complete the project safely on budget and schedule.

Mr. Bill Xue, Chairman of Western Potash, commented, “the management and Board of Directors are very excited to partner with Stuart Olson to build this innovative and efficient new mine in Saskatchewan. The project will benefit from the strength and experience of Stuart Olson, and we look forward to the next milestone, the start of production in mid 2020”

Invited by Western Resources Chairman, Hon. James Moore, China’s Salt Lake Industry President Mr. Xie Kangmin led a 6-member group for a successful site visit between June 11 and 13th to the Milestone Potash Project located 35 km southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan.

Salt Lake Industry is the largest potash producer in China with an annual capacity of over 5 million tons of KCl and other related chemical products. Over the past decade or so, Salt Lake has been actively exploring opportunities to expand its potash business overseas to increase its own influence on both the Chinese and global potash market.

During the group’s visit in Vancouver, former Federal Minister of Industry and Western Resources Chairman, Hon. James Moore briefed the delegation members about advantages of Canadian resources and general industry environment.  Hon, James Moore also discussed Port of Vancouver’s capacity to handle potash shipments, and particularly highlighted advantages of the Milestone Potash Project and the strong support of government and local communities in the development of the project.

In Regina, the Salt Lake group met with the Saskatchewan government where Deputy Assistant Minister of Trade and Export Development Mr. Kirk Westgard and Senior Analyst of the Ministry of Energy & Mining Mr. Kirk Brech introduced the province’s openness to business, mining policies and answered all kinds of questions regarding investment in Saskatchewan. In addition, the group visited the Saskatchewan Subsurface Laboratory where Dr. Chao Yang made a special presentation on Saskatchewan resource’s and showed a 3-D model of how the Saskatchewan potash mineral resources, and then viewed core samples from the Milestone Project.

During the visit in Western Potash Corp., the delegation was briefed on the company’s resource explorations over the past decade, the 2.8 million capacity full-scale Milestone Project’s Feasibility Study and Environmental Assessment, the engineering work and environmental approval of the 146,000 tons Phase I Project, as well as project’s easy access to all local infrastructures and utilities. The presentation also covered status and early works of the Phase I Project and initiation of the detailed engineering work, water resource drilling and road design work, etc. The delegation also visited the project site, the on-going water drilling activities as well as KF’s Port Lajord Grain and Fertilizer Terminal which is already in operation.

With the near year upon us Western Potash would like to take the opportunity to inform you on all the great progress we made in 2017.

August 8, 2017, Regina, SK – Western Potash Corp. (“Western” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a ‘Project Agreement’ with the Rural Municipality of Lajord (‘RM of Lajord’) for the construction and operation of Western’s Milestone Selective Solution Mining Project (“Phase l Project”). The Milestone Phase I Project is located in the RM of Lajord about 35 km southeast of Regina, Saskatchewan.

In April, 2013 Western Potash was granted Environmental Impact Assessment approval from the Government of Saskatchewan for a conventional 2.8 million tonne per year potash solution mining project (‘Milestone Project’). The approval required Western Potash to enter into a Development Agreement with the RM of Lajord. The purpose of the Development Agreement was to reach a consensus between the RM of Lajord and Western Potash Corp. regarding several key aspects of the construction and operation of the initial Milestone Project, notably road access routes, waste management and site construction management.

Following approval for the initial Milestone Project, commodity prices, including potash, experienced a significant downturn which made it difficult to progress the project. In response to the market challenge, Western Potash Corp re-scoped the Milestone Project to a 146,000 tonne per year Phase 1 Plant and revised the mining technique by applying the innovative horizontal cavern development and selective solution mining method. This will not only significantly reduce the per unit capex for mining construction and reduce operating costs, but is also more environmentally friendly leaving the majority of salt in-place underground resulting in no surface tailings and lower subsidence. A Class 3 ( /- 10% cost accuracy) final engineering report for the Phase 1 Project was completed by AMEC Wheeler Foster and Agapito Associates Inc. at the end of last year. We believe the successful development of the Phase l Project will provide reliable technical parameters which can be applied in a full scale 2.8 million tonne per year facility, and hence revolutionize the potash business.

Given the revised technology and the rescoped project, an amendment (‘Project Agreement’) to the Development Agreement with the RM of Lajord was undertaken. The Project Agreement covers the construction and operation of the Phase l Project and usage of RM of Lajord roads. The Project Agreement was signed on August 8, 2017, and compliments the existing Development Agreement with the RM of Lajord and the amended Environmental Assessment approval received on June 6th for the Phase 1 Project.

In addition to the achievements made on the Milestone Phase l Project, the Company continues to make progress in expanding its portfolio in the real estate sector. Western Garden Properties, a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Resources, has recently initiated a development project with Formwerks Boutique Properties in Vancouver. In the meantime, Western Garden Properties has successfully signed two Terms Sheets with Mosaic Group of Companies (“Mosaic”) and Edenshaw Management Ltd (Edenshaw) respectively. Mosaic is one of the top-tiered development companies in the Greater Vancouver area that has delivered over 4000 quality homes in the past 15 years, while Edenshaw has earned its reputation in residential mid-to-high rise condominium communities in Greater Toronto Area.

Mr. Bill Xue, President and CEO of Western Resources, commented, “Western Resources appreciates the cooperation extended to us by the RM of Lajord. The Company is working hard to explore resources on the North American Market as well as project financing to meet the gap so that Western Potash’s Phase l Project can be built to the schedule. In the meantime, I feel excited about the progress made in the real estate sector. I have no doubt that through partnering with those strong and reputable developers, the Company will well increase the cash revenue and ultimately bring more shareholder value”.

The Western Potash team held a Community Open House in Kronau, Saskatchewan on April 11, 2017. The event was well attended with nearly 100 visitors from the surrounding communities, as well as representatives from the Provincial government and local businesses. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended, particularly for their questions, feedback and support as we move the project forward. We will consider all the feedback we received and update our stakeholders in forthcoming web posts and newsletters.

The Open House consisted of eight stations that took the community on a journey through our proposed selective solution mining process.

Engineering firm Amec Foster Wheeler provided in-depth information on our plans for the processing facilities, and we partnered with the Saskatchewan Mining Association (SMA) for some hands-on solution mining. The community had the opportunity to pump some brine, and crystallize the potash in a cold-water bath much like our proposed crystallization pond.

After the community completed their journey through our process they arrived at the Virtual Reality station. This station placed the community inside our proposed pilot plant or standing outside right next to our processing facility!

Our guests also had the opportunity to sit down and discuss the project while enjoying a delicious meal prepared by the Come Around Café, which is located in the Curling Club.

Many thanks to all of the Western Potash Team for their efforts in making this event a success, and thank-you to all of you for attending.

January 24, 2017, Vancouver, BC – Western Potash Corp. (WPX: TSX) (FSE: AHE) (the “Western”, “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company organized a technical review meeting in Beijing on January 19th, 2017, with a focus on the applied Horizontal Selective Mining method to be used at its Milestone Pilot Project. The Milestone Pilot Project’s full detailed engineering was completed by AMEC Wheeler Foster & Agapito Inc. in November 2016. The purpose of the meeting was to further explore possibilities of optimizing the engineering plan and mitigating potential risks of the project.

Western Potash and Agapito presented the project’s background information and the main mining methodology. The expert group conducted an in-depth and comprehensive review on of the mining methodology, and is supportive of the project. The expert group consists of six leading Chinese potash industry professionals, including Mr. Zheng Mianping, Director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Mr. Wang Shijun, Chief Geologist of Qinghai Salt Lake Group, Mr. Liu Xiaoli, Deputy Director of Changsha Engineering & Research Institute, Mr. Chen Xin and Mr. Feng Yuehua, both are Senior Engineers of Changsha Engineering & Research Institute, and Mr. Zhang Chunfang, Senior Engineer of China BlueStar Lehigh Engineering & Research Institute.

The expert group confirms that Western Potash’s world-class potash resources is best suited for solution mining & crystal pond processing techniques, which are energy efficient and environmental friendly. The innovative “horizontal drilling selective solution mining crystal pond” technique will significantly reduce the project CAPEX and waste salt generation if proven successful. Most importantly, this pilot project will further prove the accuracy and reliability of the new mining technique so as to provide a basis for the development of Western’s larger project.

The expert group suggests that more testing be completed in order to further optimize the project plan, particularly in terms of the brine concentration and its continuity. The experts also suggest that multiple uses of individual drilling wells be explored.

Also attending the meeting were representatives from China National Petroleum and Chemical Planning Institute, China Inorganic Salts Industry Association, China Development Bank- Beijing Branch, Beijing Tairui Innovative Capital Management Ltd., China BlueChemical Ltd., Guoxin International Investment Corporation Ltd, and China CAMCE Engineering Co. Ltd.

Vancouver BC – Western Potash Corp. (WPX: TSX) (FSE: AHE) (“Western” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Milestone Potash Corp. (MPC) has received the final engineering report on the proposed Milestone Pilot Plant Project (“the Pilot Project”).  The report was compiled by Amec Foster Wheeler who was responsible for all site surface facilities, Agapito Associates Inc. (“Agapito”) who was responsible for mining, and Milestone Potash Corp. who was responsible for off-site utilities，permitting and engagement.  The co-ordination of all project interfaces was managed by Amec Foster Wheeler.

As reported in an April 21, 2016 news release by the Company, the purpose of the report is to develop a full scope of engineering and procurement services as well as a Class 3 ( /-10%) Capital Cost Estimate and Operating Cost estimate in advance of Western’s construction decision for the Pilot Project.  Engineering deliverables include process flow diagrams, site plans, specifications, data sheets and detailed drawings, all of which have been developed to the point of allowing issuance of purchase orders for equipment and contracts.

The pilot plant was designed to have an annual production capacity of 146,000 tonnes of potash obtained through horizontal mining of the Prairie Evaporites. The solution mining plan is based on the concept of ‘selective solution mining’ where the solvent is near-saturated with sodium chloride and partially saturated with potassium chloride.  Among the advantages of the selective solution mining method are a lower CAPEX and OPEX compared to conventional solution mining.  In addition, the selective solution mining technique has a lower environmental impact, consumes less water than conventional solution mining and does not produce salt tailings. Results of the Pilot Project will be used to determine the feasibility of construction and operation of a larger scale selective solution mining operation.

The total cost (CAPEX) to design, construct and commission the Pilot Project as described in the report is $88.3 million as expressed in Q4 2016 Canadian Dollars ($CAD), which equals to a competitive unit Capital Intensity per tonne of $604. The $88.3 million CAPEX represents the costs associated with executing the project under an EPCM environment and satisfies American Association of Cost Engineering (‘AACE’) Class 3 requirements at an accuracy of /- 10%.  In the EPCM scenario, the Company would assume all risk (Owners Cost Risk) for cost increases beyond contingency allocation. 

The OPEX estimate for the Pilot Project was developed by Amec Foster Wheeler in conjunction with the Company.  The plant site OPEX is estimated to be $82.39 per tonne of product.  This estimate does not include costs associated with product transportation and delivery from the site to the customer.  

MPC is working towards optimizing the project execution plan and continuing to minimize potential risks associated with the Pilot Project. The Company management will proceed to make a sanction at an appropriate time based on the optimization of the project execution plan and the mitigation of the potential risks.  Among potential risk are:

• Lower than expected potash prices.This has the most significant effect on project economics.Although ChinaBlue Chemical Ltd., one of Western’s major shareholders, has expressed its willingness to enter into negotiations for a purchase agreement under certain terms for all the Pilot Plant’s products, MPC is continuing to explore other options for product sales outside of the Chinese market.
• Pilot Project water supply. Western has a previously negotiated an agreement with the City of Regina to use treated effluent for a 2.8 mtpy conventional solution mine.Although the Company maintains this agreement, the Pilot Project requires substantially less water volumes and construction of a pipeline to transport effluent to the site is not cost effective.MPC therefore intends to secure groundwater from a local deep well for the Pilot Project, which is below any potable or agriculture ground sources，and will not affect domestic or agricultural water safety
• Agapito’s numerical cavern model showed that brine concentrations could be lower than anticipated in the later stages of cavern life. To maintain potash recovery rates, additional wells were planned and drilling costs updated in the sustaining CAPEX.However, actual hydrodynamic conditions in the caverns may be underestimated in the model.Currently, further experimental investigations of the mechanisms of dissolution by NaCl-saturated solvents are being undertaken by Agapito in an attempt to simulate actual mining conditions.
• Road restrictions reduce the ability to ship product off-site (such as spring road bans) resulting in the process plant being shut down for a portion of the year. MPC is developing contingency plans to minimize the risk associated with restricted product shipping due to road conditions.This includes on-site storage and conducting an annual plant maintenance shutdown during spring road bans.

Geoffrey Chang, Chairman of the Company stated, “we are pleased to have completed all the engineering, which shows the technological and economic feasibility of applying innovative horizontal drilling methodology,  selective solution mining and crystallization pond techniques. We are very excited about the prospect of bringing this revolutionary new solution mining technology to Saskatchewan.”

January 11, 2016, Vancouver, BC – Western Potash Corp. (WPX: TSX) (FSE: AHE) (the “Western”, “the Company”) is pleased to provide the following update to shareholders.

2015 was a transformational year for Western.  Shareholders would be aware of the negative tone of much of the news in the potash industry, highlighted by a declining price for the commodity and signs of an over supplied market.   Investors have now experienced several years of difficult markets for most companies in the mining industry with those in the potash and other fertilizer businesses being no exception.  It is not news that one of the major challenges has been the scarcity of capital for the development of projects, where only the most exceptional projects have attracted significant amounts of capital.  In the face of this challenging environment and following a detailed due diligence process, Western was pleased to announce a strategic investment of CAD $80 Million from the Chinese private equity firm Tairui Innovation Capital Management Ltd., closing in September of 2015.  Along with the cash injection, Western was pleased to receive the additions at the board level of Geoffrey Chang in the position of Chairman of the Board, and Bill Xue as a Director.  Both individuals bring significant experience in the financing, development and operation of resource projects.  For Western, the financing represents confirmation of the extraordinary attributes of the Milestone Potash Project in a financing environment where the race for development funding is highly competitive.

Western made the decision to re-scope the Milestone Project in 2015 with the aim of investigating alternative methods of mining the deposit.  While traditional solution mining methods in Saskatchewan have been successful for many years, the Company understood that to follow such a path would require a multi-billion dollar project finance package. With the belief that a scalable approach was required, the Company re-engaged its engineering consultants and delivered the “Scoping Study for a Pilot Plant Scale Selective Solution Mining Operation” in July of 2015.  A scalable model will provide the Company with the ability to develop the project in stages, starting with the pilot plant but without the need for an initial capital requirement in the billions.   Project economics are attractive in the current potash price environment with initial start-up capital estimated to be in the range of the CAD $80 Million invested by Tairui.  Western management and its engineers made use of the decades of potash mining expertise available in Saskatchewan and considered technological advancements currently in use in potash and salt mining operations around the globe including the use of horizontal drilling. Predominantly used in the oil and gas industry, horizontal drilling is used effectively to mine potash in the Western United States.  Equally important for the Company is the reduction in capital intensity per tonne of potash production at Milestone. In a low price environment, the study outlines a low operating cost project on an industry wide relative basis with comparatively attractive capital requirement levels versus other potash projects as the Milestone pilot plant scales up from a projected annual production of 146,000 tonnes.  Solution mining operations provide the advantage of lower capital expenditure requirements compared to typical conventional potash mines. 

Having confirmed Environmental Assessment Approval, the Company is currently engaged in a series of technical meetings with consulting engineers with the aim of being construction ready in 2016.

Western registered a project company, the Milestone Potash Corp. in Saskatchewan as a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Potash Corp. as the company transitions its focus to construction of the pilot plant project.

In addition to ongoing community engagement initiatives, in November of last year the Company met with representatives of the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy in Regina.  Discussions were focused around an update of Western’s progress, as well as job creation in Saskatchewan and ongoing adjustments to taxation for potash production in the province.

During the latter half of the year, a settlement was reached with UBS Securities Canada Inc. in the matter of a dispute over financial advisory fees resulting from the engagement of UBS in 2013.

The Company instituted a Normal Course Issuer Bid share buyback program in late October of 2015.  Management feels that overall market dynamics as well as potash industry fundamentals have contributed to downward pressure in the share price of Western Potash.  Meanwhile the positive Company fundamentals are not reflected in the price of the shares.  To date a total of 1,353,000 shares have been purchased at an average cost of $0.21 per share.  The shares are currently held in the Company’s brokerage account.

Since inception and through the recent transformation, Western senior management has remained fundamentally intact. This continuity helps maintain a knowledge base and level of consistency and familiarity with the project, the stakeholders and the province of Saskatchewan.  The Company prides itself on this level of commitment to its people and its shareholders.

Shareholders are invited to visit the Company website at www.westernpotash.com for more information on the Milestone project, newly posted photographs, as well as, more information on the Company’s major shareholders.

Highlights of the Transaction

The Transaction provides Western with a significant capital infusion that will enable the Company to advance its current business plan to develop the pilot plant on the Milestone Project (the “Pilot Plant”), as announced and described in the Company’s news release dated July 2, 2015. Operational demonstration of the Pilot Plant would provide the longer-term opportunity for Western to further develop its high quality and significant potash resources in Saskatchewan with financially and technically strong strategic partners in Tairui and CBCHC.

The highlights and benefits of the Transaction include:

• equity financing for advancement of Western’s Pilot Plant on the Milestone Project at a significant premium to currently depressed market prices for Western’s Common Shares;
• a strategic alliance that will provide Western with access to project financing, technical expertise in large scale project construction, and management and marketing channels for future potash sales; and
• a continuing opportunity for holders of Western’s Common Shares to participate in the future advancement of the Milestone Project.

Approval of the Transaction was received at a Special General Meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on August 24, 2015. As outlined in the Management Information Circular dated July 24, 2015, Deloitte Corporate Finance Inc. provided an opinion to the Board of Directors of Western to the effect that, as of the date of, and subject to the assumptions, limitations and qualifications contained in, the opinion, the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to Western shareholders.

“The greatest challenge to the Milestone Project has always been financing risk”, said Pat Varas, Western’s President & CEO.  “Today’s transaction represents a major step in risk reduction. Western has been actively canvassing the globe for a strategic partner with the financial strength to help us execute on the Pilot Plant.  We believe that Tairui is an ideal partner.  We believe that this strategic investment provides our shareholders with much greater value than an outright sale of the project or a dilutive standalone public financing would in the current depressed markets. The Transaction represents an opportunity not afforded to the shareholders of many junior companies at the moment.”

“Since the signing of the term sheet 11 months ago, we have had the opportunity to broaden our knowledge of the Milestone Project”, said Bill Xue, President of Tairui.  “In fact, the scoping study results delivered in July of this year provide for a scalable and more flexible approach to the project.  At Tairui, we look to invest in advanced projects with a large resource base and without environmental complications.  The scalability we see in the scoping study is attractive from a cost and project timeline perspective and renders the project relatively more competitive.  The Western Potash team is highly skilled, committed and passionate.  In combining the resources of Tairui with the high quality Milestone Project and an innovative development process, we are excited about the future prospects for Western.”

Mr. Yang has been an Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer & President of China Blue since 2006.  He joined the CNOOC group in 1978 and served as a mechanical engineer and as the deputy head of the mechanics division of China Offshore Oil Southern Drilling Company, the deputy general manager of CNOOC Nanhai West CPEC (Shekou) Company; the general manager of CNOOC Shipping Company and other various positions in the CNOOC Group.  Mr. Yang graduated from Wuhan Communication Technology University in 1978 with a major in Vessel Engineering and obtained a Master’s degree in Business Management from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) in 2004.

As previously announced, Western and CBCHC have signed an off-take term sheet whereby CBCHC or a purchaser designated by it will enter into an off-take agreement for the purchase of the lesser of 30% or 1 million tonnes of potash annually from Western’s Milestone potash project for a term of 20 years.  Pricing of product sold under the agreement will be based on market terms.

The mandate of the Technical Committee will involve providing recommendations for technical, construction and procurement inputs for the Milestone potash project.  The Finance Committee is to be responsible for developing, evaluating and recommending potential project financing strategies, communicating with potential project finance providers and evaluating the terms of proposals received from such providers.  The Supervisory Committee will oversee both of these committees.

In addition, Mr. Zhimao Ma, Senior Engineer and General Manager of Legal and Assets Management Department of China Blue has been appointed a non-voting observer status to the Board.  Mr. Ma brings deep potash and fertilizer commercial experience from the sector as well as a sound M&A and analytical background in the potash space.

Mr. Patricio Varas, President and CEO of Western commented: “after two years of working together with China Blue we have reached what we believe is a comprehensive strategic investment as it strengthens our financial position and provides a vision for the path forward.   The Transaction has involved a significant amount of due diligence and long hours of work from both our teams.   We are very happy to welcome Mr. Yang to the Board and we will definitely benefit from his extensive plant building and operating experience both at China Blue and CNOOC. In addition, Mr. Varas stated, “With the Subscription Agreement, I believe CBCHC and Western have created a formidable alliance and we can now look to completing the work already underway in arranging and putting together the financial pieces that will make the building of the Milestone Project a reality”.

Vancouver, British Columbia - Western Potash Corp. (the "Company") (TSX: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce the appointment of Richard Lock, P. Eng. as Project Director to develop the Company’s 100%-owned Milestone Potash Project. Richard will join the Western team on March 20th, 2012. Prior to joining the Company Richard worked at BHP/Rio Tinto’s joint-ventured Resolution Copper Mining Project in Superior, Arizona. As Project Director, Richard was responsible for the development of the multi-billion dollar project, including pre-feasibility studies and associated on-site activities (which include multiple shaft sinking activities for exploration and future development). Resolution hosts the third largest copper ore body in the world and is predicted to produce 25% of the US copper supply while creating 3,700 jobs and generating economic growth of over 61 billion USD.

Richard has more than 24 years experience in the mining industry, having begun his career with De Beers-Anglo American in South Africa.  Richard later joined Rio Tinto's Diavik Diamonds Project (Diavik) at Lac de Gras in Canada’s Northwest Territories, where he took the project from the evaluation stage to production. Under Richard’s guidance as mine manager, the A154 dike/dam was awarded the professional engineering award of merit by NAPEGG and the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers national award for engineering achievement in May 2003.  The Diavik mine remains a standout example of technical innovation in Canadian project engineering.

Prior to his work at Resolution Copper, Richard managed the design and construction of a large, successful bitumen recovery plant on an oil sands mining project in Alberta, Canada for Canadian Natural Resources Limited, an independent oil and natural gas exploration, development and production company.  His experience in the development of an oil and gas recovery and production facility brings great value as it has a great deal of structural and engineering commonality with the potash recovery plant being envisioned at Milestone.

Patricio Varas, President  & CEO of Western Potash Corp., commented: “We are delighted to have Richard join our project development team.  Richard is a mine builder.  He is a highly experienced mining professional with the skill set necessary to move a project of this scope through the feasibility process. Richard’s depth of experience and proven track record in all phases of engineering and construction are key ingredients that will help Western effectively execute on all our project processes. This appointment to the Milestone Project sends a clear signal that the Company is effectively assembling a world class team, dedicated to bringing a world class Potash project to production.  Those of our management team that have worked with Richard at Diavik and Resolution relish the opportunity to work together to deliver the newest independent potash mine in Saskatchewan.”

Vancouver, December 16th, 2011, Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce the receipt of an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “NI 43-101 Technical Report Summarizing the Preliminary Feasibility Study for a Potash Solution Mine on the Milestone Project (Subsurface Mineral Lease KLSA 008), Saskatchewan.” The Company confirms that this Report has been filed on SEDAR on December 15, 2011. The Technical Report includes an updated resource estimate, and a summary of the Company’s Pre-Feasibility Study announced via news release dated October 31, 2011. The Prefeasibility Study (the “Study”) was completed by AMEC Americas Limited (“AMEC”). AMEC is a leading international engineering and project management company that currently manages multiple potash expansion projects in Saskatchewan with a capital value of several billion dollars. 

The updated resource estimate slightly increases the Milestone recoverable Potash Resource (Patience Lake, Belle Plaine, and Esterhazy Members including the upper halite interbed) to 66.6 million tonnes of Measured Resource (contained KCl), 186.9 million tonnes of Indicated Resource, and 708.2 million tones of Inferred Resource. Inferred Resource around the  Milestone Project plant site land and associated infrastructure have been removed from the estimate.  Purchase of the plant site land was announced via news release dated June 21, 2011. Mineral Reserves were not reported within this updated Technical Report. Mineral reserves have not been estimated because the Company is negotiating to obtain mineral leases for all the Freehold mineral rights within the Indicated and Measured resource areas.  These negotiations are expected to be completed within the next few months.  Mineral reserves will be presented when acquisition of these mineral leases is substantially complete. The updated resource estimate at Milestone was prepared by Agapito Associates Inc. (“AAI”) of Grand Junction, Colorado. The Qualified persons for the Resource Estimate were Dr. Michael P. Hardy, P.E (US), P.Eng. (SK), P.G. (US), and Dr. Douglas F. Hambley, P.E. (US), P.Eng. (SK), P.G. (US).

A detailed summary of the Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas is presented in Table 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Table 1. Measured Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas Only*

* Search Radius of 800 m used; Mt = million tonnes; K2O grade > 15%; Density = 2.08 t/m3, KCl = 1.58303 K2O.
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (5%), and extraction ratio (34.6%).

Table 2. Indicated Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas Only*

* Search Radius of 1.6 km outside radius and 2.5 km inner radius (between drill holes) used; Mt = million tonnes; K2O grade > 15%; Specific Gravity = 2.08 t/m3, KCl = 1.58303 K2O.
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (9%), extraction ratio (34.6%).

Table 3. Inferred Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas Only*

* 8.0 km radius used; Mt = million tonnes; K2O grade > 15%; Density = 2.08 t/m3, KCl = 1.58303 K2O.
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (25%), extraction ratio (34.6%).

AAI have made estimates of the Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources based on a Radius of Influence (ROI) similar to that applied by mine operators and peer group explorers working on solution mining properties in the region. Furthermore, the Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources were arrived at by discounting the overall calculated tonnage by Loss Factors of 5%, 9% and 25% respectively, to account for unknown geologic anomalies. The resulting potash quantity was further reduced using an extraction ratio factor of 34.6%, which is the estimated potash available to be extracted for the life of an envisioned operation leaving sufficient material to support cavern stability. The resource estimate was prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 of the Canadian securities regulators.

The recently completed Prefeasibility Study confirms that the Milestone Project shows significant positive economics and that the asset is of sufficient size and grade to support primary and secondary solution mining for more than forty years at a production rate of 2.8Mt/yr.  The study concluded that there are no known limitations that may prevent a successful and profitable project outcome. The Feasibility Study is in progress, and will produce results which adhere to the AACE “Class 3” classification for projects.  Water sources are currently being evaluated for the project.

A summary of the assumptions and results of the Prefeasibility Study appears below:

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability

Milestone EIS Update

The Company also reports that all environmental baseline data required for the preparation of the EIS has now been collected. On October 11, 2011, the Company submitted a "Project Proposal" to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment.  The Project Proposal provides a conceptual level description of the Milestone Project and formally initiates the regulatory review process under the provincial Environmental Assessment Act.  Upon review of the Project Proposal, the government of Saskatchewan will issue Project Specific Guidelines, which provide detailed information requirements to be included in the EIS.  The EIS remains on schedule and on budget, with an anticipated EIS submission date of Q3 2012. Golder Associates Ltd. (“Golder”) of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan continues to assist the Company with the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) for the Milestone project.  Golder is an employee-owned, global company providing consulting, design, and construction services in earth, environment, and related areas of energy.  Golder was chosen by the Company due to their commitment to technical excellence and their experience with environmental assessments for potash projects.  

The 100% owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square kilometers, is located 30 kilometers southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

Brazil Update

On July 28 2008, the Company signed an agreement with Amarillo Gold Corporation (Amarillo”), a company related by a common director, to acquire potash mineral rights in Brazil. Amarillo, through its Brazilian subsidiary, submitted applications on behalf of the Company for 113 potash permits totaling 982,962 hectares within potash prospective portions of the Brazilian Amazon Basin. The Company is pleased to announce that these permits have now been granted by the Brazilian government. These potash permits are currently being transferred into the Company’s wholly owned Brazilian subsidiary, Potássio Ocidental Mineração Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary has also, since its incorporation in December 2008, submitted its own applications for an additional 53 potash permits totaling 91,245 hectares.  These additional permits are located in the Amazon Basin, and have been granted to the Subsidiary by the Brazilian government.

Vancouver, June 21, 2011, Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce that it has completed the purchase of a large parcel of surface lands,  advancing the development of the plant site facility for its Milestone potash solution mining project in southern Saskatchewan.

The land acquisition program has now successfully secured over 2,550 acres at the Company’s preferred plant site location.  Securing the plant site location is an important aspect of the Milestone feasibility process as the environmental and regulatory approval processes and project schedules are dependent on it. The site is large enough to house all intended plant site facilities for the contemplated life of the mine.

The Company has completed water, soil, vegetation, and wildlife baseline studies over the site as part of its Environmental Approval process.  The Company has also completed airborne geophysical surveys, satellite imagery acquisition, and geotechnical drilling as part of this process. Data from these studies was used to complete a detailed constraints assessment as part of the land acquisition process.  The site was selected based on the following parameters:

•    Proximity to the potash resource
•    Motivated and engaging landownership
•    Lack of surface streams
•    Lack of subsurface aquifers
•    Favorable surficial and hydro-geology characteristics
•    Low geotechnical risk
•    Proximity to road, rail and utility infrastructure

The plant site will support all maintenance, administration, processing, product storage, and load out facilities. The site will further be large enough to accommodate salt storage, brine cooling ponds, and all utility infrastructure.  The site is of sufficient size to allow for increased potash production beyond the anticipated mining rate of 2.5 million tonnes of KCl product per year.

Patricio Varas, CEO and President of the Company commented: "Securing the Milestone plant site represents another key achievement in the ongoing development of this world class potash project.  We now have ownership of enough surface lands to accommodate an efficient plant design, one capable of future expansion to higher production rates.  This purchase brings Western Potash a significant step closer to making Milestone one of the largest, most accessible, greenfield, independently owned potash deposits, being developed in the world today."

The 100% owned Milestone property is located 30 kilometers southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

Technical Report Filed on SEDAR

Further to the Company's news release dated April 26, 2011, the Company confirms that the related NI 43-101 Technical Report titled “Updated Technical Report Concerning Mineral Resource Estimates Subsurface Mineral Lease KLSA 008 Saskatchewan” was filed on SEDAR on June 10, 2011.   In addition to covering the increased resource estimate, the Report sets out that the Milestone project now comprises 87,530 acres (including road allowances) of Crown mineral lands by means of Subsurface Mineral Lease KLSA 008, which was granted to the Company on May 18, 2010.  This Lease incorporates the lands formerly held by the Company under Permits KP 408 and KP 409.  Lease KLSA 008 was granted to the Company by the Saskatchewan Department of Energy and Resources on May 18, 2010. The lease has a term of 21years from the date of issue and is renewable for additional terms of 21 years provided that the Company fully complies with the terms of the Lease.

Vancouver, April 26, 2011, Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce the receipt of an updated NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for its Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan.  This updated resource estimate substantially increases the Milestone extractable Potash Resource to 64 million tonnes of Measured Resource (contained KCl), 180 million tonnes of Indicated Resource, and 701 million tonnes of Inferred Resource.  The updated resource estimate at Milestone was prepared by Agapito Associates Inc. (“AAI”) of Grand Junction, Colorado.

Mineral Resources for the potential solution mining intervals (Patience Lake, Belle Plaine, and Esterhazy Members excluding interbeds) are estimated to be as follows:

Measured Resource: 637 Mt in place sylvinite grading 30.47% KCl (64 Mt of recoverable KCl)

Indicated Resource: 1,857 Mt in place sylvinite grading 30.35% KCl (180 Mt of recoverable KCl)

Inferred Resource: 8,907 Mt in place sylvinite grading 30.31% KCl (701 Mt of recoverable KCl)

Mineral Resources reported here represent significant expansions in tonnage compared with the Mineral Resources previously reported in the NI43-101 Technical Report filed by the Company in July 2010*. These resource expansions are as follows;

Measured Resources expanded by 55%

Indicated Resources expanded by 34%

Inferred Resources expanded by 25%

* The NI43-101 Technical Report titled “Technical Report Concerning Mineral Resource Estimate, Subsurface Mineral Permit KP 408 and KP 409, Saskatchewan”, dated July 12, 2010 and filed on SEDAR on July 16, 2010 (the “Report”).  The Report was prepared by Agapito Associates Inc. and reported via news release dated June 3, 2010.  The Qualified persons for the Report were Dr. Michael P. Hardy, P.E (US), P.Eng. (SK), P.G. (US), Dr. Douglas F. Hambley, P.E. (US), P.Eng. (SK), P.G. (US) and Dean Pekeski, P.Geo. (SK).

Patricio Varas, CEO and President of the Company commented “We are very pleased with the
results of this updated resource calculation, though we are not surprised by it as extensive parts of the property surrounding the defined resource remain to be drill tested and our seismic data indicates substantially more potash is present, as was confirmed in our newest drill hole M-009. We now look forward to including this updated resource into our mine plan and feasibility process already underway”.  Varas commented further that “the expansion of resources is another step in the de-risking process of what management considers to be one of the largest, most accessible, independently owned Tier 1 potash solution deposits being developed in the world today”.

A detailed summary of the Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas is presented in Table 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Table 1. Measured Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas Only*

* Search Radius of 800 m used; Mt = million tonnes; K2O grade > 15%; Density = 2.08, KCl = 1.58303 K2O.
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (5%), and extraction ratio (34.6%).

Table 2. Indicated Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas Only*

* 8.0 km radius used; Mt = million tonnes; K2O grade > 15%; Density = 2.08, KCl = 1.58303 K2O.
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (25%), extraction ratio (34.6%).
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (9%), extraction ratio (34.6%).
 

Table 3. Inferred Mineral Resource within Crown and Leased Freehold Areas Only*

* 8.0 km radius used; Mt = million tonnes; K2O grade > 15%; Density = 2.08, KCl = 1.58303 K2O.
** Resource accounts for geologic anomalies (25%), extraction ratio (34.6%).

AAI have made estimates of the Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources based on a Radius of Influence (ROI) similar to that applied by mine operators and peer group explorers working on solution mining properties in the region.  Furthermore, the Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Mineral Resources were arrived at by discounting the overall calculated tonnage by Loss Factors of 5%, 9% and 25% respectively, to account for unknown geologic anomalies. The resulting potash quantity was further reduced using an extraction ratio factor of 34.6%, which is the estimated potash available to be extracted for the life of an envisioned operation leaving sufficient material to support cavern stability.  The resource estimate was prepared in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101 of the Canadian securities regulators. As required by NI 43-101, a technical report supporting the resource estimate will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days following the date of this news release: reports on SEDAR are available to the public.

AAI has extensive experience in solution mining, resource characterization and preparation of 43-101 Technical Reports on Potash Resources.  AAI’s experience includes work for Intrepid Potash Inc. in the US, Rio Tinto and Vale at the PRC project in Argentina and for several prospective potash projects located in Saskatchewan.

In calculating the initial mineral resource AAI incorporated historical information available from public sources as well as new resource information obtained from exploration conducted by Western Potash between January 2009 and March 2011.  Exploration conducted during that time included the purchasing and/or acquisition, processing and interpretation of 474.5 line km of 2D and over 98 square kilometers of 3D seismic data, and the completion of ten exploration wells totaling 18,240 meters completed within the KLSA 008 Crown Lease area.  All ten of the wells drilled, spanning some 18 kilometers of strike length, penetrated the potash-bearing beds and have sufficient assayed core to allow for the calculation of potash mineralization thickness and grade.

The updated and expanded Resource Calculation will now be incorporated into the Solution Mining Plan, part of the intergrated Feasibility process (“PFS FS”) currently being completed by AMEC Americas Limited (“AMEC”) as reported via press release dated January 19, 2011. The integrated Feasibility process remains on schedule and on budget, with an estimated “PFS” completion date sometime during the fourth quarter 2011.

The 100% owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square kilometers, is located 30 kilometers southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

Vancouver, September 20, 2010 - WESTERN POTASH CORP. , (the “Company”) (TSX Venture: WPX) is pleased to announce the receipt of a positive Scoping Study (the “Study”) from AMEC Americas Limited (“AMEC”) on its 100% owned Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan.  The Milestone property hosts a potash resource which consists of 41 million tonnes of Measured Resource (contained KCl), 133 million tonnes of Indicated Resource, and 560 million tonnes of Inferred Resource.  The Scoping Study was based on, and supported by, the NI43-101 Technical Report titled “Technical Report Concerning Mineral Resource Estimate, Subsurface Mineral Permit KP 408 and KP 409, Saskatchewan”, dated July 12, 2010 and filed on SEDAR on July 16, 2010 (the “Report”).  The Report was prepared by Agapito Associates Inc. and reported via news release dated June 3, 2010.  The Qualified persons for the Report were Dr. Michael P. Hardy, P.E, P.Eng., P.G.,Dr. Douglas F. Hambley, P.E., P.Eng., P.G. and Dean Pekeski, P.Geo. 

This Study confirms that the Milestone resource shows significant positive economics and that the asset is of sufficient size and grade to support solution mining for more than forty years at a production rate of 2.5Mt/yr.  The annual production rate can be expanded to a higher annual production rate, achievable through a higher level of capital expenditure.  The Company cautions that mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. 

The Study recommends immediate commencement of a pre-feasibility study based on the attractive economic assessment presented in this report.  Management is now 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.  Management will be making recommendations to the board as to the scope of the formal studies yet to be completed. 

AMEC is a leading engineering firm that currently manages multiple potash expansion projects in Saskatchewan with a capital value of several billion dollars.  AMEC was chosen to carry out Milestone’s preliminary economic assessment because of their technical expertise as engineers and EPCM contractors, as well as their experience in potash mine construction, potash processing and their expertise in producing potash feasibility studies. The AMEC Study was authored by Ryan Leyland, P. Eng. from AMEC.  

Patricio Varas, CEO and President commented “We are pleased that the Scoping Study confirms that the Milestone Potash project is an economically robust, stand alone project capable of delivering significant value for our shareholders.  Not only does the Study show that the project is technically feasible and economically positive, it also shows that our favorable formation temperatures contribute to reduce our production costs by approximately 10%. We believe these features identify Milestone as one of the largest and best Tier 1 potash, greenfield, solution deposits, still available in the world today, that are ready for development.  Our team has already started planning further studies that will further “de-risk” the project and allow for the construction of a mine at Milestone. The receipt of this positive Scoping Study is a significant milestone on the path towards building Saskatchewan’s most efficient potash solution mine”

The Company will file an executive summary of the Study on the Milestone potash solution mining project with Canadian securities regulators within 45 days of this release. The Summary will be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, and also on the Company's website at www.westernpotash.com.

The 100% owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square kilometers, is located 30 kilometers southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

Western Potash Corp. is a mineral exploration company engaged in the evaluation, exploration and development of potash mineral properties in Western Canada. The Company intends to define and develop a world-class potash deposit in an ecologically sustainable, economically efficient and socially responsible manner.

Vancouver, April 6, 2010 - Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce that further to the company’s news regarding the detection of hydrocarbons on the Milestone property reported in the February 2, 2010 news release, the board has approved an initial Petroleum and Natural Gas (“P&NG”) exploration and evaluation program.  The initial program will entail the evaluation of 3-D seismic data, as well as the evaluation of soils for regional distribution of hydrocarbons.

In conjunction with its potash resource upgrade program the Company recently completed a $3 million, comprehensive 3-D seismic acquisition program.  The Company will use this data not only in its potash program but also it will utilize this data to evaluate the hydrocarbon trap setting and to determine the extent of the hydrocarbon hosting formations.

In addition, the P&NG exploration program includes the collection of surface soil samples to evaluate the regional distribution of hydrocarbons.  To carry out this work, the Company has engaged ChemTerra International Consultants Ltd (“CTI”) to conduct a regional soil gas sampling program using CTI’s Geochemical Exploration Lead (“GEL”) procedure.  The GEL Technology, developed in recent years by CTI, applies numerical unmixing techniques to discriminate individual gas sources in the soil.  By using the GEL technique, areas of active hydrocarbon reservoir seepage may be recognized, quantified and spatially outlined.  The Company reports that 553 soil gas samples, covering 83 line-km, have been collected and are currently being analyzed by CTI.  Results of the geochemical sampling program are expected within 3 weeks.

In order to plan further P&NG exploratory work, the soil gas data will be integrated with the existing 2D seismic data, the recently acquired 3D seismic data, the existing well logs and the chip sample data.  All data will be evaluated for P&NG potential and to spot P&NG exploration well locations (within privately held lands currently under lease).  Drill programs will be designed to evaluate multiple P&NG zones in each well, with the goal to delineate proven hydrocarbon reserves.  The company expects that an initial drill program could commence near the end of the second quarter, once well licenses are approved and road restrictions due to spring weather are removed.

Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) has received a very encouraging report from an oil and gas consultant commissioned to evaluate  drill hole data collected during the Company’s definition drilling program at its Milestone project in Saskatchewan.  A total of 9 wells have been drilled at Milestone while defining the new potash resource, (link to news release), which was reported previously on February 2, 2010.   The down-hole geophysical logs have indicated the presence of neutron-density crossovers (neutron capture) in two zones in all 9 wells.  A close inspection of the neutron capture, combined with data on lithology and porosity indicate the presence of hydrocarbons.  The wells along this indicated hydrocarbon zone span a distance of 18.5 kms in strike length.

The data was evaluated by J.R. Britton, P. Geol., P. Eng., a petroleum geologist with over 40 years experience in the basin.  Mr. Britton’s interpretation shows that two of the formations have significant areas of possible natural gas.  In his report, further work is recommended including the completion of additional test wells to collect pressure, gas quality, and deliverability data in order to reduce investment risk and assess the natural gas production potential of this area.

The company wells were drilled to hydrocarbon industry standards where lithology and down-hole logs, including resistivity, sonic, neutron density and caliper logswere recorded for all the formations drilled from surface casing to just below the Potash beds.

Patricio Varas, CEO of the company commented that:" the possibility of having sizable natural gas pools sitting on the door step of our Potash deposit would represent a significant advantage to any future plans to develop the Milestone potash resource".  The supply of natural gas is key to the economics of Potash resource extraction as solution mining and the subsequent refining processes are energy intensive.  The company contemplates that should production of hydrocarbons be possible and viable, that any production in excess of Western’s energy needs to run its potash operations would be sold into the existing gas pipeline infrastructure.  The Trans Canada Pipeline lies adjacent to the potential natural gas zone.

Management is excited about this prospect and is formulating a strategy to move forward with this opportunity. The first step in this strategy has been to secure all the available private oil and gas rights in the Milestone area.  To this effect, the Company has been actively acquiring the PNG (petroleum natural gas) rights from private landowners as part of its potash land acquisition strategy at Milestone, which covers 65% of the prospective area. The Crown PNG rights are currently unavailable as they are located within the Company’s currently active potash exploration permits, and are not subject to Provincial PNG land sales.

The next step will be to drill and test the interpreted hydrocarbon zones. The Company is investigating doing this on a 100% basis or through a joint venture with an Oil and Gas third party, utilizing standard hydrocarbon industry JV and option agreements.  The Company will keep the right to extract the natural gas for Potash production at cost, which ever strategy is chosen.

Western Potash Corp. (the "Company") (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce that it has initiated a resource definition drill program consisting of 5 wells in the area surrounding the Milestone-003 well which intersected a composite thickness of 24.4m of potash mineralization with a grade of 18.2% wt K2O, as reported in a press release dated August 24, 2009. The Company's wholly-owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square km in area, is located approximately 30 km southeast of Regina, and is southeast of Mosaic's Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

The Company's board has approved an $8.5 million CAD budget for this program and is expecting to produce an NI-43-101 compliant inferred resource calculation during Q4 2009. The Company will also complete an NI-43-101 compliant indicated and inferred resource calculation based on the results of the expanded 5 well resource definition drill program, 2D seismic, and 3D seismic surveys. This report is expected to be complete during early 2010, dependant on the completion and results of the aforementioned drilling and seismic surveys.

The Company also reports the completion of the first well in the current resource definition program.  The Milestone-004 well is the fifth well drilled on the Milestone property and is located approximately 3.0 km to the south of the Milestone-003 well which reported a composite thickness of 24.4m of potash mineralization with a grade of 18.2% wt K2O. 

Coring of the Milestone - 004 well has intersected the Prairie Evaporite Formation at a vertical depth of 1,727.6 m. Visual geological evaluation of the core in conjunction with down-hole gamma ray logs indicate strong potash grades, very low carnallite content, and very promising minimum formation temperatures of 60° C within the two upper members, with some carnallite present in the Esterhazy member.  The following potash member thicknesses are indicated by the down-hole gamma ray logs:

All drill intercepts noted in this release are considered the true thickness of the mineralization; as the salt beds are relatively flat-lying and down-hole directional surveys indicate the hole was essentially vertical upon intersecting the salt and potash sequences.

The Company sees the presence, thicknesses and indicated grade of the potash beds in this fifth well as a significant result when taken in conjunction with the results reported for the first four wells. The Company feels that the thicknesses and grades obtained by geochemical sampling and down hole gamma ray logging are consistent with those mined at the Belle Plaine solution mine and that it has now demonstrated regional continuity of all three potash members, over 15.5km of strike length, between the first and fifth wells.

A 2D seismic survey is being carried out over this priority area in conjunction with the current drill program.  The Company plans to also complete a 3D seismic survey over this priority area to be used with the NI-43-101 compliant resource calculation. 

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has engaged Agapito and Associates Inc. of Golden, Colorado to complete an NI43-101 compliant inferred resource calculation and report based on the results of the initial four well drill program. This report is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2009. Agapito and Associates will also complete an NI-43-101 compliant indicated and inferred resource calculation based on the results of the expanded 5 well resource definition drill program, 2D seismic, and 3D seismic surveys. This report is expected to be completed during early 2010, dependant on completion of the aforementioned drilling and seismic surveys.

Further to the Company's news release of September 25, 2009, the Company would like to announce that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to extend 44,739,000 warrants at a price of $0.75. The expiry date has been extended from October 15, 2009 to April 15, 2011.

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.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce that it has received the complete results from its first phase drill program on the Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan.  Gamma ray results have been reported in previous news releases for the four wells drilled in the initial exploration phase and potash assay results for the first well were reported in a June 15th, 2009 company release. Highlighted in the fourth well is a 24.4 m composite intersection of potash mineralization with a weighted average grade of 18.2 wt % K2O across three potash members.

The 100% owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square kilometers, is located 30 kilometers southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world. The potash mineralization encountered within the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine potash members in this drill program is similar in grade and thickness to those reported at the operating Belle Plain mine.

The Milestone-003 well is the fourth well drilled on the Milestone property and is located approximately 12.5 km and 7.5 km to the southeast of the first and second well sites reported previously.  A summary of the results from this well are presented in Table 1.

Table 1: Potash thickness and weighted average grade from the Milestone – 003 well.

Note: Total intervals noted in this release are composites. All drill intercepts noted in this release are considered the true thickness of the mineralization; as the salt beds are relatively flat-lying and down-hole directional surveys indicate the hole was essentially vertical upon intersecting the salt and potash sequences. The core recovered from this hole was logged, photographed, split, and sampled at the Company’s secure core storage facility on the property. All samples were handled in accordance with the Company’s Chain of Custody procedures. The half-split core samples from the wells were analyzed at the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) Laboratory in Saskatoon. The Laboratory has been certified by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) to conform to the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 (CAN-P-4E).

The Company is very pleased with the potash grades intersected in the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine potash members reported for the Milestone-003 well, as these are considered particularly exceptional.  In addition, these potash hosting members have very low carnallite and low insoluble contents, which is also very encouraging as they are critical factors for developing a solution mine. The grades reported from the Esterhazy member are lower in comparison to grades reported from the same member in previous wells. Also, the carnallite content within the Esterhazy potash member is  considered too high for effective economic extraction of potash in a solution recovery process.

The potash assays results from the Milestone-003 well support the Company’s decision to accelerate a resource definition program in the vicinity of this well as reported in the July 23, 2009 press release. The Company is currently planning and permitting an additional 5 well resource definition drill program to define the grade, thickness, and extent of this higher grade zone within the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine members. A 2D seismic survey over this priority area has already commenced. Furthermore, a 3D seismic survey will also be carried out following the resource definition drill phase with the goal to fast-track and establish an NI43-101 compliant resource. The Company’s board has approved an $8.5 million CAD budget for this program

The Company is also pleased to report results from the second and third wells drilled on the property (Milestone-002, and Milestone-002A respectively), a summary of which is presented in Table 2.  Milestone-002 was drilled 5.25km to the south east of the first well, and encountered an anomaly not apparent in the 2D seismic data that removed most of the potash mineralization in the Patience Lake Member.  This anomaly was likely due to local structure and water ingress resulting in localized dissolution.

The Milestone-002A well was directionally drilled from the same well site as Milestone-002, intersecting the potash beds 800m to the north of the vertical second well. The Company decided to drill this directional hole to test the theory that the anomaly observed in Milestone-002 was a local anomaly.  Geological observations, gamma ray logging and geochemical results have indeed confirmed this theory.

Table 2: Potash thickness and weighted average grade from the Milestone-002 and Milestone-002A wells.

Results from the Milestone-001 and Milestone-002A wells demonstrate regional continuity of all three potash members between these wells.  While these results show positive potash mineralization, the Company is compelled to focus its initial resource definition in the vicinity of the Milestone-003 well, where higher potash grades and better thicknesses within the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine members have been demonstrated.

The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce that it has intersected further significant potash mineralization in its drill program on the Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan. The Company’s wholly-owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square km in area, is located approximately 30 km southeast of Regina, and is southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world.

The well presently reported is the third well drilled on the Milestone property and the second well drilled from this particular setup.  This redirected well (Milestone - 002A) intersected the potash beds 800 m to the north of the original vertical well (Milestone - 002, located approximately 5.25 km to the southeast of the first well) using directional drilling. The Company decided to drill this directional hole to test the theory that the clay disturbed Patience Lake member, with lower grade potash mineralization, is only a local anomaly.  The geological details are described in the news release dated June 15th, where the results for well Milestone - 002 are reported.The Company is pleased to report that the theory of a locally-disturbed potash bed is correct.  The new well has hit good potash mineralization in all three potash members.   Coring of the Milestone - 002A well commenced at a true vertical depth of 1,656 m, and intersected the Prairie Evaporite Formation at a true vertical depth of 1,662 m. Visual geological evaluation of the core in conjunction with down-hole gamma ray logs indicate strong potash grades (below a well-developed salt back), very low carnallite content, and very promising minimum formation temperatures of 62° C within the two upper members, with some carnallite present in the Esterhazy member.   The following potash member thicknesses are indicated by the down-hole gamma ray logs:

All drill intercepts noted in this release are considered the true thickness of the mineralization, as the salt beds are relatively flat-lying and down-hole directional surveys indicate the hole was essentially vertical upon intersecting the salt and potash sequences.  The Company utilized directional drilling technology to complete this S-shaped well, one of very few such potash exploration wells ever completed in the province.

The company sees the presence and indicated grade of the potash beds in this third well as a very encouraging result when taken in conjunction with the results reported for the Milestone - 001 well (reported in the June 15th news release).  In that well, drilled on the northern part of the property, all three potash members: the Patience Lake, Belle Plaine and the Esterhazy were intersected with thicknesses and grades consistent with those mined at the Belle Plaine solution mine.  The Company is confident that it has confirmed that the anomaly encountered in the original vertical well, Milestone - 002, is truly localized and small, and that it has now demonstrated regional continuity of all three potash members between the first and second wells.

A comparison of the gamma ray responses from Milestone - 001 and Milestone - 002A suggest that the mineralized sections observed for each of the three potash members are very consistent and will have very similar tenor in grade and thickness.  The current reporting utilizes the gamma log data that has shown an improved correlation with assay data indicating threshold potash mineralization.  This reporting is more representative of anticipated mineralized intervals over the initial reporting of visually-logged potash members for Milestone - 001 and Milestone - 002 using marker beds to delineate thicknesses.  The observed thicknesses for the mineralized portion of the members from visual logging and gamma ray logging from all holes compares as follows:

* Assays are pending for these holes.

It is also very important to note that information from the drilling to date confirms the presence of the heat anomaly that helped attract the Company to the project area. Temperature measurements from all the wells show minimum formation temperatures ranging from 62° C to 65.5° C.  Temperature will be an important component of the economics of future mining on the property.  The solubility of potash increases with temperature such that the higher the formation temperature, the higher the yield of potassium chloride in the brine solution to be processed for potash recovery.  A solution mine, accessing a higher formation temperature resource, will produce more potassium chloride in solution than an operation tapping an equivalent resource at lower formation temperatures. The Company views formation temperature as a key parameter in solution mining economics, offering advantages in solution mass-balance and savings in capital, energy and processing costs.

The samples extracted from the three potash members will now be submitted for analysis at the SRC laboratory in Saskatoon.  Results are expected to be obtained within 4 to 6 weeks. Results from the second well (vertical and redirected, i.e. Milestone - 002 and Milestone - 002A) will be reported together once received.

Testing of potash mineralization on the Milestone property will now continue with an additional well located approximately 7.25 km south-southeast of the second well site.  The Company has budgeted approximately $5.4 million CAD for this three-well drill program but expects to expand the programs based on continuing positive results, enabling the Company to select an initial area for more detailed potash mineralization definition.  The Company expects to be well positioned to prepare an NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation on the Milestone property during 2009.

Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE)   is pleased to announce that it has completed its first potash exploration well on the Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan. The Milestone property, comprising approx. 500 square km, is located approximately 30 km southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic’s Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world. The property is immediately adjacent to the Regina Potash Property held by Vale, and potash permits held by BHP-Billiton, and Potash One.

Seismic data confirming the presence of potash prospective salt beds on the eastern portion of the Milestone property, have highlighted a sizeable and attractive new exploration target area amenable to solution mining technologies. The exploration area already has water, power, natural gas and rail infrastructure to serve the project, allowing the transportation of the final product to Vancouver and the Asian markets.

The first well, drilled vertically, was drilled to a total depth of 1,776m. Coring commenced at a depth of 1,640m, and intersected the Prairie Evaporite Formation at a depth of 1,657m. A total of 24.5m of potash mineralization was drilled. Visual observation and down hole logging indicate the presence of the following potash members;

All potash mineralized zones visually display low carnallite content, a critical factor in developing a solution mine, as increased amounts of carnallite decrease the efficiency of cavern dissolution and potash recovery. Insoluble and clay content are also visually low.

Visual interpretation of the gamma ray logs from this zone suggests a moderate to strong potash grade within this zone. The logs also indicate minimum formation temperatures of 620C, confirming the strong heat anomaly described by Holter (1969) underlying the property. Temperature is important because higher formation temperatures improve the potash dissolution process, and reduce heat input required for the injected brines thereby significantly reducing production costs. The temperatures in this part of the potash belt are considered very good for production of potash from a solution mining operation.

Samples from the three potash zones will now be submitted for analysis at the SRC laboratory in Saskatoon. Results are expected to be obtained within 4-6 weeks.

The Company is very encouraged by the results received to date, as the geological setting and mineralization are consistent with characteristics of other potash deposits in Saskatchewan. The Company plans to drill two additional wells within the Milestone property using a drill rig supplied by Red Dog Drilling Inc.  The drill program’s purpose is to define the extent, grade, thickness and type of potash mineralization present on the property. All holes will be drilled vertically targeting the Prairie Evaporite formation, which will be conventionally cored using invert drilling fluids so as to not dissolve the salt and potash sequences. Samples will be collected from the potash sequence for description and analysis, and each hole will be logged using industry standard down-hole geophysical logging techniques. The Company has budgeted approximately $5.4 million CAD for this drill program, and will be well positioned to prepare a NI 43-101 compliant resource calculation on the Milestone property during 2009 should drilling results continue to be positive.
