Updated Mineral Resource Report

 

On August 2, 2012 Prospect Global’s subsidiary, American West Potash, LLC, received an updated  final NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate report, a technical report issued by a third party natural resource expert, with respect to the potash resource on America West Potash’s acreage near Holbrook, Arizona. The initial 43-101 resource calculation was completed in October 2011. Prospect Global designed and executed our spring 2012 drilling program in less than four months, months ahead of schedule.

 

The new resource calculation was performed through a combination of assay results from the 10 newly drilled 2012 wells, 11 of the wells drilled in 2011, and the equivalent K2O (potassium oxide) values calculated from the 57 historical wells’ Gamma Ray Estimation Curves (GREC), plus an extensive wireline study on each well. Efficient conventional underground mine and surface flotation is planned for the resource, producing a mix of granular and standard products. Benefitting from the shallow depth of the potash, access and extraction will be through a decline road rather than shaft and hoist mining.
