Today's news maybe an indicator that drilling isn't too far off:

Passport Potash Inc. is appointing Steve Butrenchuk, PGeol, to the board of directors. Mr. Butrenchuk has over 40 years of experience in mining and mineral exploration throughout Canada, United States, Chile and Peru. He has substantial experience with industrial minerals, and has authored several publications with respect to various commodities while on contract to the B.C. government. He is presently a consulting geologist and a director of Mega Copper Corp. Mr. Butrenchuk will be appointed president of Passport to replace Dr. Richard Hunter, who has stepped down as president of the company, but will remain a director of the company.

The company is also appointing Joshua Bleak as a director of the company. Mr. Bleak is experienced in the mining and exploration industry, as well as being the fourth generation in a family with a rich mining and exploration background. He currently serves as president and chief executive officer of American Energy Fields Inc. As a part of North American Environmental Corp., Mr. Bleak was responsible for the permitting and overseeing of Passport's initial round of drilling at the Holbrook Basin potash project. He has worked with numerous exploration companies to indentify and explore mining prospects located within the southwestern United States. R. Timothy Henneberry, PGeo, has resigned, effective immediately. The board wishes to thank Mr. Henneberry for the assistance and technical expertise he provided over the last few years. Mr. Henneberry will be appointed to the company's advisory board.
