Reports a Composite Thickness of 24.4 Metres of Potash Mineralization with a Grade of 18.2 Wt % K2O across Three Potash Members\n\n\n Aug. 24, 2009 (Baystreet.ca) -- VANCOUVER -- Western Potash Corp. Reports a Composite Thickness of 24.4 Metres of Potash Mineralization with a Grade of 18.2 Wt % K2O across Three Potash Members from the Fourth Well at Milestone, Prepares for Expanded Drilling and Seismic Program with Goal towards Resource Definition\n\nWestern Potash Corp. (the \"Company\") (TSX.V: WPX, FSE: AHE) is pleased to announce that it has received the complete results from its first phase drill program on the Milestone property in southern Saskatchewan. Gamma ray results have been reported in previous news releases for the four wells drilled in the initial exploration phase and potash assay results for the first well were reported in a June 15th, 2009 company release. Highlighted in the fourth well is a 24.4 m composite intersection of potash mineralization with a weighted average grade of 18.2 wt % K2O across three potash members. \nThe 100% owned Milestone property, comprising 500 square kilometers, is located 30 kilometers southeast of Regina, and southeast of Mosaic's Belle Plaine Mine, one of the largest producing potash solution mines in the world. The potash mineralization encountered within the Patience Lake and Belle Plaine potash members in this drill program is similar in grade and thickness to those reported at the operating Belle Plain mine. \nThe Milestone-003 well is the fourth well drilled on the Milestone property and is located approximately 12.5 km and 7.5 km to the southeast of the first and second well sites reported previously. A summary of the results from this well are presented in Table 1. \nTable 1: Potash thickness and weighted average grade from the Milestone - 003 well. \nPotash Member From To Interval K2O MgO Insoluble Best Intercept\n(KB, m) (KB, m) (m) Wt % Wt % Wt %\nPatience Lake 1715.55 1729.5 13.9 18.38 0.09 11.32 21.34 wt% K2O over 6.1m\nBelle Plaine 1731.45 1736.3 4.85 18.37 0.09 3.78 20.11 wt% K2O over 3.6m\nEsterhazy 1756.15 1761.8 5.60 17.75 1.57 3.96 30.17wt% K2O over 1.7m\nTotal 24.35 18.23 0.43 8.13\n\nNote: Total intervals noted in this release are composites.
