What is Potash?

Potash bearing rock deposits occur in many regions of the world. They are derived from the minerals in ancient seas that dried up millions of years ago. Fertilizer potash is mostly derived from these potash rocks. It requires only separation from the salt and other minerals. There are no known substitutes for potash.

Paradox Basin

a massive Salt Anticline covering a large area of eastern Utah and western Colorado, contains as much as 2.0 billion tons of Potash in reports from the US Geological Society.  Production to date has almost entirely come from the Cane Creek Mine complex operated by Intrepid Potash, Inc., located 5 miles west of Moab, Utah, which has been in production since the mid 1960’s. Current production from the mine is in excess of 100,000 tons of Potash per year.

Universal Potash Approves Plans to Commence Permit Process To Drill Paradox Basin.

Fox Island, Washington 03/08/11 -- Universal Potash Corporation (the "Company") (PINKSHEETS: UPCO) announced commencement of a dual well, Phase 1 Drill Program, supported by the research completed by the US Geological Service and recommendations by Harrison (mineral acquisition and exploration) Land Services. UPCO included the evaluation of the Gamma/Neutron logs available to UPCO from previous drilling on the Company’s interest in three square miles of prospective potash properties in the Paradox Basin of Utah.

Universal Potash Corp’s newest joint venture is located less than 1,000 yards west of the BLM’s designated KPLA (Known Potash Leasing Area) reserve. The UPCO property  encompass’ nearly 2,000 acres of the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) subsurface potassium rights near the Lisbon Valley KPLA and indicates variable potash depths due to their proximity to the flank of the Lisbon anticline. Projected minimum depths to bed #5, located in UPCO’s eastern section, is estimated to be 30 feet thick at at 5,500 feet. Bed #9 is assumed to be 20 feet thick at 6300' depth. This information comes from a combination of gamma ray logs available throughout the Lisbon valley area and is generalized. The estimated cost to complete Phase 1 and Right of Way (ROW) process is $8,000.00 ($4,000.00 per site).  This includes field staking the proposal, exploration map generation, disturbance calculations, and preparation of UPCO’s proposed action document and applications, onsite inspections and inclusion of access corridors. Universal Potash estimates the budget for all the above and application preparation, permit fees and required professional survey costs for two exploratory drill locations at $24,000.00.
