Western Potash completes third well in Manitoba

Vancouver-Western Potash Corp. reports that it has now completed the third well in its five well exploration program at its Russell-Miniota exploration permit 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 13km of Saskatchewan Potash Corp.’s Rocanville Potash Mine. The company also reports that it has completed its planned 175km seismic program. Construction of the next drill site (the 4th drill hole), located approximately 5km south east of the third hole, has been completed, and mobilization of the drill is underway. After the company completes the initial five potash exploration wells, there is an option to extend the program by an additional 10 wells as results warrant. 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.
