American Potash Corp. announced that it has received permits from the Utah Division of Oil Gas and Mining (UDOGM) to drill exploratory wells on three of its eleven 100% owned potash and lithium state mineral leases which form part of its Green River Potash and Lithium Project, located within the Paradox Basin, Utah. The permits provide for drilling to depths of up to 9,400 feet, allowing detailed information to be acquired from multiple potash and lithium (brine) horizons encountered in nearby historical oil and gas wells, which included the Shell Quintana Fed 1-1 oil well located less than a half mile east of the Company's first proposed well.

Anson's Exploration Target is estimated for brines from the combined Mississippian Leadville Formation and the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation units which also extend throughout American Potash's project area immediately south of the Anson project area. The Leadville and Paradox Formation brines will be tested in the company's initial drill program. The company has also reported that a Notice of Intent for planned sampling via re-entry of three historical wells located on their project, have been submitted to UDOGM and the BLM for approval.
