TSXV:EPO
VANCOUVER,
Oct. 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Encanto Potash
Corp. ("Encanto" or the "Company") (TSXV: EPO and OTCQX: ENCTF)
announces that it has secured funding of up to $1,250,000 to drill a test well on the Ochapowace
Reserve Lands (the "Property") to test both the potash and oil and
gas potential of the Property.
The funder, Hamad
Al-Wazzan, a director of the Company, will earn an 80%
interest in Encanto's potash rights under the Exploration
Participation Agreement with the Ochapowace First Nation and will also earn a
50% working interest in the oil and gas permits and leases on the
Property.
Encanto has granted the funder the right for two
years to put these interests back to Encanto and receive shares of
Encanto equal to the amount of the funds advanced by the funder
divided by the lower of $0.34 or the
price per share at which Encanto does its next financing, subject
to TSXV approval.
The well will be drilled in 2013 when the
weather conditions permit.
