Western Potash completes second well

Vancouver-Western Potash Corp. reports that it has completed its second potash exploration well within the Russell-Miniota Exploration Permits in Manitoba. These permits comprise 555 square kilometers, are adjacent to BHP Billiton’s potash lease and Agrium’s Exploration Permits along the Manitoba border, and lie within 13 kilometers of PotashCorp’s Rocanville potash mine. Construction of the next drill site has been completed and mobilization of the drill is underway. The company initially plans to complete five potash exploration wells, with an option to extend the program by an additional ten wells as results warrant.

The company is well funded with over forty million in cash, and intends to define and develop a world-class potash deposit in an ecologically sustainable, economically efficient, and socially responsible manner.
