Vancouver, British Columbia – November 15th, 2013 – Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP; OTCQX: PPOTF; FSE: P9P) “Pacific Potash”, “the Company” is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling its Amazonas Basin Potash Property. Mobilization, set-up and the initial pre-collar and casing of the well have been completed and normal drilling operation is currently underway. The depth of the well is currently 456m and it is being cased and cemented to complete the first stage of drilling operation. The second stage of drilling will involve the commencement of coring which comprises rocks from the Andira and Nova Olinda formations. The Nova Olinda Formation is the target horizon for potash exploration in this basin. All significant potash intercepts have been located within Cycle VII of this formation. The Cycle VII potash mineralization occurs in numerous drill holes in the Middle Amazon basin, including those that define the Fazendinha and Arari potash occurrences.

“Drilling to date has been extremely smooth, logistics have been on time and on budget.” Mr. Balbir Johal, Executive Co-Chairman and Director reports, “Being fully funded for several wells, we anticipate many exciting months of exploration in anticipation of a new potash discovery in this world class basin.”

On Monday Nov. 11, 2013 a new potash discovery was announced directly across the river from Pacific Potash’s claims near the city of Itacoatiara by Brazil Potash Corp. Itacoatiara is the site of Pacific Potash’s field office and is located directly across the Amazon River from Pacific Potash’s claims. The first well site is a short 40-minute boat ride from the city. The discovery is another piece of evidence that proves the multiple deposit hypothesis of this basin.

Itacoatiara hosts a Panamax capacity port with a floating unit linked to the shore by a bridged conveyor. The port has five berths for barges and three warehouses. The port has a grain terminal (Hermasa) that made the Export Northwest Corridor feasible where the production of the Northwest regions of Mato Grosso and Southwest of Rondônia is drained. It mainly exports soybeans, soybean oil and bran. Itacoatiara is also accessible by paved Amazonas State highway (AM010) 265 km east from Manaus, the capital city of the state.

This is Pacific Potash’s first well of a planned multi-well drill program on the Amazonas Potash Project aimed at making a new potash discovery. The well is expected to take approximately 60 days from the start of drilling and will be drilled to a true depth of 1400m. The target formation, Nova Olinda Cycle VII is anticipated to occur at a depth of approximately 1300m. Gamma-ray and Caliper downhole geophysics will be run in the well to identify the mineralized zone and to better correlate the stratigraphy in the area.
