Business of Western Potash Corp.

Western Potash Corp. Vancouver, BC, TSX.V: WPX,

The Company's objectives are to define and develop a world-class potash deposit while providing its shareholders with a unique opportunity to participate in the blue-chip dominated potash mining industry.

The Company plans to carry out an aggressive drill and seismic program on its Manitoba properties leading to the delineation of an NI 43-101 resource by 2nd Quarter of 2009.

The Company has acquired 2 potash exploration permits in Southwest Manitoba located along the Saskatchewan border. The property covers 545 km² and adjoins two potash deposits that are estimated to host over 1 billion tonnes of potash.

Our Competitive Advantages

  • These adjoining Manitoba deposits encompass a combined resource of nearly one billion tonnes of ore grading.21.0-25.4% potash (with an estimated in situ value of $40 billion).
  • Historic drilling on Western Potash’s property reveals Potash potential.
  • Western Potash has a rare, highly leveraged opportunity to develop a prospectively world-class potash discovery.
  • Global production is dominated by a tiny handful of major mining powerhouses. As a junior potash exploration/development company, Western Potash has very few peers in North America.
  • 85% of Canadian potash mines are operating at or near capacity. There have been no new potash mines on the prairies in almost 40 years.
  • Global potash production is at full capacity and new production is needed as demand begins to outstrip supply.
  • Western Potash has a strong, proven management team and a large cash position.
  • The Company benefits from exceptional regional infrastructure that makes for especially robust project economics.
  • The U.S. border is a mere 55 kms to the south of Western Potash, providing easy access to the world's largest potash market.
