Allana Potash fka AAA

[db7]

i emailed Farhad regarding this-->



Hi Brian,

Drilling delays have occurred on the project primarily due to complicated ground conditions encountered in the northwest part of the concession. No past drilling had occurred in this area currently being drilled and the geology encountered has been different than outlined by previous drilling by Parsons albeit seemingly better.

Intercalated silt-sand horizons within the salt package have caused some minor problems with hole stability necessitating the use of additional casing and muds which is time consuming. In addition potash horizons have been intersected where no potash has been encountered in the past. While this is significant it also forces the company to monitor drilling brine chemistry diligently and this in turn is more time consuming. Use of brines with the wrong chemistry will lead to dissolution of both the salt and potash minerals. All efforts are being made to ensure core/sample integrity and while this takes more time, it produces more reliable results.

Also due to increasing heat conditions (45 C) in the project area most of the work is done in the evening time.

Despite these challenges the results have been excellent so far.

We have additional casing and that will help solve some of the problem. Also, Allana will be adding the second drill rig and possible a third to expedite the program and expansion to include another 10,000 metres. This should help us stay on track with our plans.

Overall we are very excited about the results, and looking forward to more drill results in coming weeks.

Cheers,
Farhad

Good Day Farhard,

Thanks for providing us with the update today

A couple of questions if you wouldn’t mind:

1) We seem to be running behind schedule in regards to the original 3 month estimated timeframe (which many thought was too long to begin with). That said, how long until the second drill is on-site and operational?
2) In bringing in this 2nd drill, is your intention to expand the scope of the drill program and therefore have more drill holes to assay and a bigger backlog at the assayers?
