Aug 12, 2013 — “Pacific Potash Corp. – Ready to Drill, Set to Discover, Going Up Matchless”

Rockstone Research Ltd. comments on the recent developments in the potash market and initiated coverage on Pacific Potash Corp. (tsx.v:PP). The full analysis can be viewed as a PDF using this link:

Excerpt:

Over the next decade, Brazil is expected to become an agricultural super power making it one of the largest users of potash fertilizers on the planet. While potash consumption seems to have peaked in India and China as currently declining, the opposite is true in Brazil with a potash consumption showing steady long-term growth potential. It is forecasted that Brazil becomes the biggest importer of potash globally by the year 2020.

Over the last 15 years, the total value of Brazil’s crop rose from $23 billion to $126 billion and it is estimated to increase a further 40% between 2010 and 2019. Additional data by SOBER suggests substantial increases of agricultural production for commodities that consume most of the potash. Brazil owns 30% of the world’s arable farmland and it is projected that the country will have the world’s fastest growing agribusiness economy over the next 50-100 years.

Brazil has 500 million hectares of potentially arable land of which 100 million are currently under cultivation. This compares with the United States’ 350 million, Russia’s 300 million, and China’s 200 million if they used every hectare available. Brazil imports more than 90% of its potash requirements with imports mainly from Saskatchewan and the Ural region incurring total delivered transport and import costs into Brazil of around $90 per ton. The Brazilian government is not sitting around waiting for this, as it has made it a goal to financially back domestic projects in order for the country to become fertilizer independent. The Brazilian government has decided to use all powers to become potash-independet in the next decades. This will put the exploration and development of Brazilian potash desposit on the fast-track.

Pacific Potash is an early entrant into a brand new world-class potash basin that has the potential to rival or surpass some of the great producing basins worldwide. What makes this even more exciting is the fact that being located in the middle of the new breadbasket of the world gives the company a unique Brazilian advantage:

Low-cost production, world’s fastest growing agro economy, almost zero domestic production and potentially billions in logistical cost advantage. http://www.rockstone-research.de/research/RockstoneResearch-PacificPotashCorp08092013e.pdf

Andre Costa Goes “Beyond the Press Release” To Discuss the Company’s Active Potash Pursuit in The Prolific Amazonas Basin *Sponsor*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 3:13 PM on Tuesday, July 9th, 2013

Pacific Potash has acquired a 100% interest in the Amazonas Basin Potash project in Brazil. The Company is planning a late summer exploration program on its claim block which totals 795,824 hectares. The Amazonas Potash Basin is similar in size, scale and geology to Saskatchewan’s potash evaporate deposit, which is the largest and most prolific potash reserve in the world.

Recently appointed as President and CEO of the Company. Mr. Costa is a professional geologist with over 18 years of experience working in Canada and Brazil. Mr. Costa has worked for the Saskatchewan Geological Survey, provided project management in uranium and diamond exploration, and most recently was the chief geologist for Brazil Potash a private company with operations surrounding the majority of Pacific Potash’s Claims.

Amazonas Potash Basin

  • The Brazilian Government plans to reduce Brazil’s reliance on potash imports from 91% to 60% over the next 5 years
  • Soils in Brazil are deficient in potassium and require potash to remain productive
  • The Amazonas potash basin is similar in geology and dimension to the Saskatchewan potash basin in Canada
  • Recently signed non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with CapitalAsia Investment Holdings Group sets out the initial terms and conditions for entering into a formal off-take agreement at such time as Pacific Potash’s Amazonas Potash Property goes into commercial production.

·Two deposits owned by Petrobras—Arari and Fazendinha—are located 20 and 40 km west of the property being optioned by Pacific Potash. These two deposits have reported historic resources as follows*:

Fazendinha – 520 Mt @ 28.8% KCl
Arari – 659 Mt @ 17.7% KCl

Pacific Potash Strengthens Management and Exploration Team Appoints Andre Costa President and CEO

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 11:38 AM on Tuesday, May 28th, 2013

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 28th, 2013 – Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP; OTCQX: PPOTF; FSE: P9P, “the Company”) is pleased to announce Andre Costa M.Sc., P.Geo. has been appointed as President and CEO of the Company. Mr. Costa is a professional geologist with over 18 years of experience working in Canada and Brazil. Mr. Costa has worked for the Saskatchewan Geological Survey, provided project management in uranium and diamond exploration, and most recently was the chief geologist for Brazil Potash a private company with operations surrounding the majority of Pacific Potash’s Claims. Mr. Costa was responsible for the Potash exploration technical program in the Amazonas basin, Brazil. He provided project management, compiled all regional data and developed Potash Brazil’s successful drilling program on which a NI 43-101 compliant resource is currently being calculated by Ercosplan. Mr. Costa is a dual citizen of Canada and Brazil, and is fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Mr. Costa stated “Pacific Potash tenements in the Amazon Basin it is on-trend and surrounded by existing potash deposits and historical potash occurrences. Working on this basin for five years gave me strong understanding of the drilling program logistics, drilling methods, stratigraphycal correlations, depositional environments, structural constraints, mineralization spatial distribution and seismic correlations. This knowledge will be important to achieve positive potash intercepts and consequently advancing to the next stages. All the efforts will now be focused on the upcoming drilling program in order to confirm and evaluate the potash mineralization to be found on Pacific Potash claims that would be developed into potash resources on this new and already confirmed world class potash basin.”

Mr. Balbir Johal, Executive Chairman & Director commented: ” Balbir Johal, Executive Chairman commented: “Having a CEO and President with local ties to the country and to Pacific Potash’s project area will be a huge benefit for the Company. Mr. Costa’s vast knowledge of a previously almost non-explored basin will be invaluable to the Pacific Potash team. Over the last five years in the Amazonas basin, Mr. Costa has been instrumental in compiling historic data, unlocking the potash sequences and basin geometry for Potash Brazil. He has overseen the drilling of over 20 potash wells in the basin, supervised the compilation of data for Potash Brazil’s technical reports, and from a potash exploration perspective, he is one the most knowledgeable individuals regarding the basin. ”

Pacific Potash would also like to announce that Mr. Steve Butrenchuk has resigned as President & CEO but will remain with the Company as an Advisory Board member. Pacific Potash wished to thank Mr. Butrenchuk for his contribution as President & CEO, and are certain that his experience, and insight will continue to be beneficial to the Company in his new position.

AGORACOM Feature: Potash Junior (PP: TSX-V) Shows Liquidity and Gains *Sponsor*

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 10:01 AM on Friday, May 17th, 2013

 

TSX: PP.V | FSE: P9P| OCTQX: PPOTF

Pacific Potash has acquired a 100% interest in the Amazonas Basin Potash project in Brazil. The Company is planning a late summer exploration program on its claim block which totals 795,824 hectares. The Amazonas Potash Basin is similar in size, scale and geology to Saskatchewan’s potash evaporate deposit, which is the largest and most prolific potash reserve in the world.

Investment Highlights – Brazil

Amazonas Potash Basin

  • The Brazilian Government plans to reduce Brazil’s reliance on potash imports from 91% to 60% over the next 5 years
  • Soils in Brazil are deficient in potassium and require potash to remain productive
  • The Amazonas potash basin is similar in geology and dimension to the Saskatchewan potash basin in Canada
  • Two deposits owned by Petrobras—Arari and Fazendinha—are located 20 and 40 km west of the property being optioned by Pacific Potash. These two deposits have reported historic resources as follows*:

Fazendinha – 520 Mt @ 28.8% KCl
Arari – 659 Mt @ 17.7% KCl

Highlights of 43-101 Report

  • Potash has been intersected on 3 margins immediately adjacent to the property (West, North, and North East).
  • The Property is located on the northwest limb of the Middle Amazonas Basin, extending across the deepest part of the basin axis. The known occurrence of potassium salts (potash) is in Cycle VII in the Nova Olinda Formation. The Cycle VII potash mineralization occurs in numerous drill holes in the Middle and Lower Amazon basin, including those that define the Fazendinha and Arari potash occurrences.
  • Well log control from within the basin, but outside the claims, indicates thickening of the Nova Olinda formation towards the basin axis.
  • Potential potash layers are expected to occur at depths of 1100 to 1800 m.

Highlights of the Agapito & Associates Report

  • Potash mineralization at the Fazendinha and Ararí properties was identified by Petrobrás in the 1970s and 1980s. Grades reported at Fazendinha range from 28% to 33% potassium chloride (KCl) over thicknesses ranging from 0.98 m to 4.58 m. The depth of the potash zone ranges from 1,000 to 1,100 m. At Ararí the depth to the potash zone ranges from 995 to 1,300 m.
  • Brazil Potash Corporation’s drilling near Autazes, west of the Company’s claims, has encountered potash in 13 wells. Potash grades ranged from 15% to 40% KCl, over thicknesses ranging from 1.35 m to 3.13 m. Two wells near Itapiranga, north of the Company’s claims, encountered potash, with grades of 23% KCl over 2.20 m and 26% KCl over 4.84 m, respectively.
  • The ambient temperature at these depths could range from 41 degrees Celsius (°C) to 51 °C based on average crustal heat flows and the local geology. This temperature range is comparable to the temperature encountered at the Belle Plaine solution mine in Saskatchewan.
  • Based on the above, the Agapito report concludes that solution mining on the Company’s permits is potentially feasible if potash is encountered during exploration drilling, provided that the true thickness of the potash bed(s) exceeds 2 m, and the grade of the potash exceeds 15% K2O (24% KCl).  Solution mining of KCl is enhanced if the ambient formation temperature in the potash beds exceeds 40°C.

Show creators Jamie Bailey and Metaphoria Productions smartly recognized there is no other nationally televised show of its kind and now provide small cap companies and investors everywhere with a great platform to connect. The production quality in our state of the art studio is second to none. I’m proud to be a Co-Producer for Season 2 and beyond!”
