VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: KCL) is pleased to confirm that the two potash permit applications (KP 416 and KP 417) sold by the Company to 0821474 B.C. Ltd. ("Numberco"), a subsidiary of Peninsula Merchant Syndications Corp. ("Peninsula"), a private company at arms length to the Company and its directors and officers, have been sold by Peninsula to Timer Explorations Inc. ("Timer"), a reporting issuer in British Columbia whose common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and which is also at arms length to the Company and its directors and officers.

To acquire the permits, Timer will purchase all of the outstanding shares of Numberco. This acquisition by Timer is part of a larger transaction pursuant to which Timer will also complete (i) a subdivision of its shares on a 2 new shares for 1 old share basis, (ii) an $8.4 million private placement of units at a price of $0.35 per unit, each unit consisting of one post-split common share and one post-split common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to purchase a further post-split common share at a price of $0.50 per share for a period of two years, (iii) the change of the name of Timer to "Potash North" or another name reflective of the new business of Timer, and (iv) the appointment of new directors and officers to the board of Timer.

In connection with the sale, Timer will indirectly assume Numberco's obligations under the original agreement between Numberco and the Company, including the obligation to pay the balance of the purchase price for the permits, being approximately $2.6 million. In addition, Potash One also holds rights to (i) purchase a sufficient number of units in the private placement such that it will hold approximately 13% of the outstanding common shares of Timer, on a non-diluted basis, (ii) purchase up to 20% of any equity securities, other than stock options, issued by Timer for cash after the closing of the acquisition of the permits and the private placement, until the earlier of such time as Potash One holds less than 5% of the outstanding shares of Timer and such time as Timer has completed 3 further equity financings, and (iii) nominate a director to the board of Timer until the later of one year following closing of the acquisition and private placement and such time as Potash one holds less than 5% of the outstanding voting securities of Timer.

Potash One has determined that it will participate in the Timer private placement. The amount of Potash One's participation has not yet been finalized, but is expected to result in Potash One holding 13% of the outstanding shares of Timer upon completion of the transaction. In addition, Potash One has nominated Paul Matysek to the Timer board of directors to oversee Potash One's investment in Timer. Mr. Matysek has agreed that any personal economic benefit resulting from his appointment to the Timer board of directors will instead accrue to Potash One.

Paul F. Matysek., President and Chief Executive Officer of Potash One Inc., stated that: "The Timer transaction provides Potash One with an excellent opportunity to make a significant investment at the ground floor level, in a newly established Saskatchewan potash exploration company."

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

Paul F. Matysek, M.Sc., P.Geo. President and Chief Executive Officer
