Potash America, Inc. Announces Commencement of Geological Evaluation for Mineral County, Nevada Property

RENO, Nev., June 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Potash America, Inc. (OTCBB: PTAM), (the "Company") has employed the consulting services of Industrial Mineral Developments, (IMD) Inc. to assess and evaluate the economic potential of the Montmorillonite mineral properties of Potash America, Inc., located in Sodaville, Mineral County, Nevada (the "Mining Properties").

IMD will supply a Geological Report (the "Report") that will use observed (mapped) geologic data, sampling, and assays in addition to limited literature and historical research to evaluate and specifically determine and locate economic mineral potential and initial mining areas on the Mining Properties.

Mapping (GPS locations) and evaluation of exposed clay mineralization in previous mining and in un-mined outcrop areas will be added to published geological mapping and followed with sampling and certification of assays. The exact locations of mineable ore and a chain of custody of samples that will be noted in the Report, certified by a licensed professional geologist and the assayer, are proposed to determine the economic feasibility and location of ventures to recover minerals from the Mining Properties. Assays that are necessary to delineate mineable ore locations and develop the Report will be sent to nationally accredited licensed assayer(s) for analyses.

Evaluation may yield up to 20 samples and will serve to determine and understand the economic potential of the mineralization. Samples will be used to determine agricultural and industrial uses for the clay minerals (montmorillonite) and for a complete elemental suite to determine the presence of any rare earth or other valuable mineralization.

Due to the location of the montmorillonite and bentonite deposit near previous producing areas of precious metals, IMD suggests that the requested assay trace element suite contain precious metals analysis.

The estimated time to research, survey and deliver a progress report will be one week after the initial three (2 - 3) day field visit (scheduled to begin 6/1/11).
