ALLANA POTASH REPORTS FURTHER POSITIVE DRILL RESULTS CONTINUING TO CONFIRM SHALLOW POTASH MINERALIZATION
Allana Potash Corp. has released the analytical results from drill hole DK-10-03 that provide further confirmation of shallow potash mineralization on its Ethiopian potash project returning 19.52 per cent KCl over 9.95 metres. Hole DK-10-03 is situated in the northwestern portion of Allana's claim block and was targeted to confirm historic drill results and test the extension of the Musley Deposit to the east-northeast.
Hole DK-10-03 was drilled vertically and is collared approximately 700 metres south of Hole DK-10-02. Hole DK-10-03 intersected strong potash mineralization yielding 19.52 % KCl over 9.95 metres (drilled width) from 151.25 metres to 161.20 metres, including 28.90 % KCl over 2 metres (drilled width) from 152.35 metres to 154.35 metres. This zone is interpreted to be the upper portion of the potash-bearing Houston Formation and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) work is ongoing to determine the potash mineralogy. The confirmation of strong potash mineralization in this hole confirms Parsons drilling results and extends the Musley Deposit an additional 700 metres to the east where the deposit remains open to expansion.
