VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - 09/15/09) - Potash One Inc. (TSX:KCL - News) (the "Company" or "Potash One") is pleased to announce that it has submitted its project proposal (the "Project Proposal") to the Ministry of Environment of the Province of Saskatchewan (the "Ministry"). The Project Proposal was filed electronically on September 11, 2009 and represents the first formal step towards obtaining environmental approval for Potash One's Legacy potash solution mining project in Saskatchewan, Canada.

The lead regulator for Saskatchewan potash projects is the Ministry of Environment. The process, defined by the Ministry, formally begins with the submission of a project proposal. Based on the information contained in a project proposal, project-specific guidelines are provided to the proponent by the Ministry, which serve to focus the environmental assessment activities for the project. Potash One's environmental assessment activities will culminate with the submission of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS will form the basis for environmental approval of the project; an approval required before construction licensing may be obtained.

It is important to note, that while the Project Proposal is the first formal step in the assessment process, Potash One and its specialized consultants have been actively collecting environmental baseline data, carrying environmental assessment activities and engaging stakeholders for over 18 months. Potash One elected to take this comprehensive and proactive approach to the Project Proposal based on the experience and leadership of its environmental consultant Golder Associates of Saskatoon. Their experience has found that where the Project Proposal contemplates and addresses fully all the relevant issues and is transparent, it facilitates a full and complete assessment of the project in the Regulator's initial review. This can result in a smoother and more expedient review and approval process for Potash One. Potash One believes its Legacy Project and the design work completed to date is environmentally sound and looks forward to working with the Ministry to obtain environmental approval.

Paul F. Matysek, President and CEO of Potash One Inc., commented: "The submission of the Project Proposal for Legacy is a key corporate milestone. It has taken significant resources to arrive at this point, however, Potash One's commitment to being thorough on environmental matters demands a significant level of investment and effort. Environmental stewardship and sensitivity along with open and transparent dialogue with the regulators will continue to be a part of our corporate mandate as an emerging potash producer. From a project development perspective, the submission of the Project Proposal initiates the formal environmental assessment process, leading to construction licensing. We now look forward to working with the regulators to obtain the required licenses and to Legacy becoming the first new potash production facility in Saskatchewan in over 40 years."

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

Paul F. Matysek, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and Chief Executive Officer
