VANCOUVER, Nov. 3, 2011 /CNW/ - Pacific Potash Corporation (TSX-V: PP) (FSE: P9P)(the “Company“) is pleased to report that the 11-29-37-1W4m well, located within the company's 100% owned Provost Potash Property has been drilled and logged to a depth of approximately 1460-m. This well was located west of the Alberta-Saskatchewan Border, near the community of Provost Alberta, and represents one of the first well's completed in the province to specifically targeted Potash.

Grizzly Discoveries Inc. (“Grizzly“) and the Company have completed site preparations at the 10-11-40-1W4M location, the first well to be drilled within the 50:50 Property. The drill rig has been mobilized to the site and drilling should commence shortly.
