VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 09/11/09) - Potash One Inc. (the "Company" or "Potash One") (TSX:KCL - News) is pleased to announce that it has completed the purchase of sufficient surface land acreage to facilitate the development of the plant site facility for its Legacy potash solution mining project in Saskatchewan, Canada.

Since its inception in 2005, Potash One completed a significant exploration program over its wholly owned KP-289 Potash Permit area (the "Legacy Project"). This program has led the Company to favor a land position in the south region of the permit area for its initial mining activity. The area was selected based upon the most favorable solution mining characteristics which include total potash thickness, KCl grade, along with formation depth and temperature.

With its primary mining area determined, Potash One has focused its efforts to the selection of the plant site location. The plant site placement is an extremely important aspect of the Legacy Project as it affects both Environmental and Regulatory approvals, as well as project economics.



The plant site will support the following:

- processing facilities,

- clean salt storage area,

- brine pond and cooling ponds,

- maintenance and administration buildings, and

- utility infrastructure.

The site selection was also driven by geophysical and hydrogeological characterization, proximity to transport infrastructure and water and utility services.

Potash One completed an airborne geophysical survey (performed by Fugro) over the entire 97,000+ acre permit area and executed an extensive geotechnical drilling program (comprising over 40 geotechnical and hydrogeological holes) in and around the preferred plant site region. From this data, an optimal plant location was selected and a land acquisition program undertaken.

The land acquisition program, while remaining active, has now successfully secured over 1,920 acres (777.3 ha) which encompasses its preferred site location. This area is sufficient to house all intended plant site facilities for the full 40 year initial mine life. Additional land acquisitions are being considered in order to provide other strategic advantages and buffer space, but those optional lands are not necessary for the Legacy Project to establish its primary mine site and production facility.

Paul F. Matysek, President and CEO of Potash One Inc., commented: "Purchasing adequate surface land in the area that was identified as the ideal plant site location represents a significant accomplishment in the ongoing development of the Legacy Project. We now have direct ownership of ample land acreage to ensure a flexible and efficient plant layout and design. This along with the highly detailed geological and solution mining data obtained to date, truly brings Potash One a significant step closer to making Legacy a reality."
