(\"Encanto\" or the\n \"Company\") (TSXV: EPO or OTCQX: ENCTF) announces that it has received\n the results of a successful and final Mineral Rights sub-surface\n Designation vote which occurred Thursday May 31, 2012. This vote was in\n regard to the designation of Potash and other minerals for Home\n Reserve, TLE reserve and pre-reserve Ochapowace lands.\n\n\nThe Company has been formally notified by the Ochapowace Chief and\n Council that the final voting results, as tabulated by Aboriginal\n Affairs and Northern Development Canada (\"AANDC\") greatly exceeded the\n 50% plus one voting requirement to successfully pass.\n\n\n\"We're extremely pleased to see an overwhelming 88% voter support for\n the sub-surface mineral designation process on what we consider our\n second flagship property\" stated Encanto President and CEO Jim\n Walchuck.  \"We now intend to drill a test hole to check the potash\n grade and then follow up with a drilling and 3D seismic program in\n order to develop  a significant NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate\n on this second flagship property.\"\n\n\nApproximately 50,000 acres of the designated lands are governed under\n existing Mineral Exploration Agreements and Exploration Permits from\n Indian and Northern Affairs Canada and Exploration Participation\n Agreements with the First Nation.
