9. Recent News
FSE: P9P
Pacific Potash Corp. Latest News
⢠Pacific Potash acquired permits for two potash drill holes on its 100% Owned Provost
Potash Property located in Alberta, Canada. The Company has retained Taylor Land
Services whom have assisted with the permitting process, site selection and
negotiations with surface rights holders. Barlon Engineering was retained to conduct
and manage the potash exploration drilling program.
⢠Drilling has commenced on the 100% Owned Provost Potash Property. The Provost
11-29-37-1W4m well is located immediately west of the Alberta-Saskatchewan
border, near the community of Provost, Alberta. The site targets a strong gamma ray
response at a depth of approximately 1340 m, within the top of the Prairie Evaporite
Formation.
PPC Provost 11-29-37-1W4m
⢠The Company announced that its common shares are now listed and trading on the
Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol P9P as of October 27th 2011. The German
stock code number for the Company is A1JMQD and the ISIN number is CA8278502072
⢠Don Larmour was appointed to be the first member of the companyâs advisory board,
to provide guidance and expertise as the company advances its projects. Don brings
30 years of experience with Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS), holding
various engineering positions within PCS including research engineer, plant
metallurgist and senior process engineer. His assignments included conventional, as
well as solution mining operations.
â I believe strongly in the potential of the project, having done the initial analysis of the
existing well log data and helped organize the initial group that stake the original claim
on the Provost Area â - Don Larmour, Advisory Board Member 2D & 3D Seismic

#1: Peak value of 25% K2O over 2.25 m
#2: Peak value of 15.3% K2O over 1.75 m
⢠The Company is currently trading at cash value, and at less than break-up value
⢠The Properties share the same geological formation (PEF) with the prolific Unity Potash Mine
⢠Extension of the Western Salt Flat Boundary
⢠Production shortfall vs. rising global market demand
⢠Single largest export region of Potash
⢠Expansion of markets in Eastern Asia and India
⢠Solution Mining: low CAPEX vs. dry shaft

22. Global Production
Production Shortfall vs. Market Demand
FSE: P9P
Capacity
Production Capacity Demand
⢠Current production capacity will result in shortfall by 2017
⢠Canada supplies a majority of the worldâs demand for potash
Growing Global Demand
⢠Worldâs population will reach 9.3 B by the year 2050
⢠Total arable land in use in 1950 will be reduced by 70%
Production Capacity vs. Market Demand
⢠Global market will require an estimated 1.5 M Mt more potash EVERY
YEAR to satisfy growing world demand
⢠Canada produces almost 25% of the worldâs potash
o 87% of exported potash from Canada goes to the United States
o Canadian potash mines produced 9,500 metric tonnes in 2010
⢠China is the world's largest potash importer
o Potash Dependency Ratio = 68%
⢠There are NO substitutes for potash (potassium)
o It is an essential plant nutrient and an essential nutritional
requirement for animals and humans.
o Manure and glauconite (greensand) are low-potassium-content
sources that can be profitably transported only short distances to
the crop fields. Arable Land Per Capita
