WPX delivers initial resource estimate at Milestone, SK. and completes resource definition drilling.

Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce the receipt of an NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate for its Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan.  This initial resource estimate consists of 32 million tonnes of indicated potash resource (contained KCl) plus 230 million tonnes of inferred potash resource.  The resource estimate at Milestone was prepared by Agapito Associates Inc. (“AAI”) of Grand Junction, Colorado.

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.

WPX Intersects 19.9% K20 over 22.25m with little or no carnallite, providing an update on expanded resource definition drilling and seismic program

Western Potash Corp. (the “Company”) (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to provide results from the first two wells completed as part of the expanded 5 well, $8.5 million CAD resource definition program on the Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan. These wells are the fifth and sixth wells drilled on the property. Results from the Milestone-004 well returned a 23.35 m composite intersection of potash mineralization with a weighted average grade of 17.35 wt % K2O across three potash members, while the Milestone-005 well reported a 22.25 m composite intersection of potash mineralization with a weighted average grade of 19.89 wt % K2O across three potash members. Results from the Milestone-005 well are considered of particular interest as very little Carnallite was intersected in any of the three potash members, including the Esterhazy member. The presence of Carnallite in the Esterhazy member is not unusual in the region, but the absence of Carnallite in the Milestone-005 well does suggest that in some areas of the Milestone property parts of the Esterhazy member could be of economic interest.
