Exploration of the Blawn Mountain project is focused on four areas of alunite mineralization covering approximately 11,550 acres referred to as Areas 1 to 4.

PHASE 1 CONFIRMATION DRILLING PROGRAM

Potash Ridge completed a confirmation drilling program on Area 1 between October 2011 and February 2012. All drill sites were twinned to locations of previous drill holes completed by Earth Sciences. A total of 34 holes were drilled in Area 1 comprising of 19 core and 15 reverse-circulation drilling holes. The total depth reached was 14,817 feet.
