Marketwired
Passport Potash, Inc. (the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:PPI)(OTCQX:PPRTF) is pleased to announce that it has
engaged ERCOSPLAN Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau
(ERCOSPLAN) to complete its initial resource estimate on its
Holbrook property holdings. All drilling completed to date as well
as historical drilling will be reviewed and the Company anticipates
an initial resource estimate to be completed in Q1 2012.
Subsequently ERCOSPLAN will incorporate all new drill data and
seismic work currently ongoing on Passport's east side holdings in
an updated resource estimate by Q2 2012.
ERCOSPLAN is recognized by international financial institutions
and regulators around the world for their potash exploration and
development expertise. ERCOSPLAN's experts are members in good
standing of relevant professional organizations and have extensive
experience in the potash industry. ERCOSPLAN's clients include some
of the largest potash exploration and mining companies in the
world. As the successor to the former Kali-Ingenieurburo Erfurt,
ERCOSPLAN is a specialist consulting and engineering group whose
core activities include project management in all aspects of the
extraction and processing of industrial potash and mineral
salts.
"We are delighted to have ERCOSPLAN assist us in completing our
initial resource estimate. Should the initial resource estimate
justify further work, we would anticipate a working relationship
that will involve ERCOSPLAN in further development of the Property.
ERCOSPLAN's experience in the potash space is unrivalled and we
look forward to working with them to develop our Holbrook Basin
Project", states CEO Joshua Bleak.
The Company would also like to announce that it will no longer
be working with SRK Consulting on the Holbrook Basin project. SRK
was unable to commit the resources to complete the initial resource
estimate in a timeframe that was acceptable to the Company. The
Company thanks SRK for completing the NI-43101 Technical Report
dated November 1, 2011, which can be viewed online at
