Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP) Commences Drilling On Its 100% Owned Provost Potash Property

VANCOUVER, Oct. 25, 2011 /CNW/ - Pacific Potash Corporation (the "Company") (TSX-V: PP) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling of its Provost 11-29-37-1W4m well, located immediately west of the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, near the community of Provost, Alberta. "We are excited to be taking this major step forward in our quest to be the first company to uncover an economic potash resource within the boundaries of Alberta", stated Steven Khan, CEO, of Pacific Potash Corporation.

The first location targets a strong gamma ray response at a depth of approximately 1340 m, within the top of the Prairie Evaporite Formation adjacent to the historical Sage et al. Provost 11-20-37-1W4 well (Northern Development Company Ltd., 1952 (significant gamma ray response, however, scale for gamma ray log unknown)). Within the region, the potash bearing Patience Lake Member of the Prairie Evaporite Formation is anticipated to range from 3 to 6 m thick, at depths of 1300 to 1450 m depth. It is anticipated that this well will take approximately 7 to 10 days to complete and log.

To the best of the Company's knowledge, this is the first well designed to specifically target for potash minerals in the Prairie Evaporite Formation within the Province of Alberta. Based upon success, the company anticipates drilling a total of four wells within the region, as part of its fall 2011 exploration program - two within the Company's Provost Potash Property, and two within the adjacent 50:50 property held jointly with Grizzly Discoveries Inc.

Jody Dahrouge, P.Geol, senior vice-president exploration of the company and a qualified person for the purposes of NI-43-101, has approved the preparation of the technical information in this news release.
