Western Potash Intersects Over Twenty Metres of Potash Mineralization

By Sam Kiri (Proactive Investors)

It is always refreshing to see mining companies continuing their exploration work, regardless of the market direction. Those who own better projects naturally greet markets with encouraging results. This has been the case with Canadian Venture and Frankfurt listed Western Potash Corp (TSX.V: WPX, Frankfurt: AHE). The company has intersected further significant potash mineralization in its drill programme on its wholly-owned Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan. The property, comprising 500 square km in area, is located approximately 30 km southeast of Regina, and is close to Mosaic's (NYSE: MOS) Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world with a rated capacity of 2.2 million tonnes per annum.

WPX has already undertaken considerable development work on the property and this is the third well drilled on the Milestone property.  This redirected well (Milestone - 002A) intersected the potash beds 800 m to the north of the original vertical 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 mineralisation indicates that the theory of a locally-disturbed potash bed is correct.
