EPC gives update on potash drilling

Toronto—Ethiopian Potash Corp. (EPC) is now on the 20th hole of its 29 hole drilling program at the Discovery Zone, located in the Southwest Corner of the Danakil Potash Project. It expects to complete the drilling in January and be in a position to commission a new 43-101 compliant resource estimate on the Southwest Discovery Zone. Initial testing of product from six holes shows very high grade sylvite assays, according to the company, considering that these holes were located based on ready access prior to the construction of drill site access roads. Despite a slow start due to weather and access related issues, EPC says accelerated construction of access roads and drill platforms has positioned it to catch up to its peers in the basin.
