PP Pacific Silk Road Resources Group Inc

Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX VENTURE:PP) ("Pacific Potash" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce that it has signed a letter of intent ("LOI") with
Grizzly Discoveries Inc. ("Grizzly") to commence a multiple drill hole
exploration program on the Pacific Potash - Grizzly 50:50 owned Property
surrounding Pacific's 100%-owned Provost Property. Pacific Potash and Grizzly
have engaged Barlon Engineering and Taylor Land Services, both of Calgary,
Alberta, to coordinate the required well licensing and site preparations for
three well-site locations. The LOI indicates that a minimum of one well will be
drilled and that the costs will be shared equally by Pacific Potash and Grizzly.
Depending upon results, up to three wells may be drilled on the 50:50 Property.
Drilling on the 50% Property is expected to commence in October.


Pacific Potash - Grizzly 50:50 Jointly Owned Property

In late 2010 and 2011, Pacific Potash and Grizzly submitted 24 metallic and
industrial mineral ("MAIM") permit applications to the Alberta Government
totaling approximately 527,000 acres on the basis of a 50:50 ownership split.
The permits were granted between April and August, 2011. The analysis of all the
available geophysical logs for historic oil wells on the property has revealed a
high probability of potash-bearing beds underlying the Pacific Potash - Grizzly
Property. More specifically, it appears the east-central and southeastern areas
of the property have very high potential for economic-grade potash beds.
Gamma-ray responses from historic oil and gas wells suggest that the grades of
potash-bearing beds underlying the property could attain grades ranging from 15%
to 25% K2O across thicknesses of 1 to 5 m (Klarenbach, P.Geol., 2009). These
responses all occur at a depth of about 1,300 m in the uppermost 60 m of the
Prairie Evaporite Formation, which is the main host to potash deposits in
Saskatchewan (Holter, 1969). The potential quantity and grade mentioned above is
conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration on the property to
define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result
in the target being delivered as a mineral resource.


Pacific Potash 100% owned Alberta Provost Potash Property

The company currently has a 100% interest in the Provost Potash Property (PPP)
which consists of two permits, encompassing 43,938 acres approximately 250 km
southeast of Edmonton, Alberta and only 45 km east of Western Canada's first
potash mine at Unity, SK. Taylor Land Services and Barlon engineering have
initiated site selection, negotiations with surface rights owners, and well
licensing. 2D seismic and an airborne survey have been completed on the
property, along with Gama Ray testing of Historic oil and gas wells. Klarenbach
(2009) suggested that gamma ray response from historic oil and gas wells drilled
on Pacific's Provost Potash Property may indicate one- to five-meter thick
potash beds with grades ranging from 15% to 25% K2O The 2D seismic showed the
Prairie Evaporite Formation was very uniform in thickness on the property with
no thinning (Willott and Edgecombe, 2009). Adjacent to the PPP, near the
Saskatchewan border the Prairie Evaporite Formation (PEF) could be 3 m to 6 m
thick (Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources, open file 2009-24). The
potential quantity and grade mentioned above is conceptual in nature, there has
been insufficient exploration on the property to define a mineral resource and
it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delivered
as a mineral resource.


Drilling on the 100% owned Provost Potash Property is expected to begin in late
September, 2011 with the first of up to four deep (approx. 1400m) test holes
into the Patience Lake member of the Prairie Evaporite Formation.
