![Western Potash Corp. ? Completes Private Placement Filing](https://www.goldseiten.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Western Potash Corp. (WPX: TSX) (FSE: AHE) ('the Company?) announces
that it has completed its filing with the Toronto Stock Exchange for
Conditional Approval of the private placement announced on October 1,
2012. The placement will be reduced from up to 31,250,000 units to a
placement of up to 20,000,000 units. This reduction was carried out to
comply with the Toronto Stock Exchange policy which limits unit private
placements to less than 25% of a company′s current issued and
outstanding share capital, unless that company had obtained ?prior
shareholder approval for the placement. All other terms and conditions
remain the same.
The proceeds of the offering will be sufficient for the company to
finalize the Feasibility Study, to deliver the environmental approvals,
to complete all necessary permitting, as well as for general working
capital purposes.
Feasibility Study Update
The Milestone Feasibility Study continues to progress on schedule and
within the allocated budget. The Study is being completed by AMEC
Americas Limited ('AMEC?). AMEC is a leading international engineering
and project management company that currently manages multiple potash
expansion projects in Saskatchewan with a capital value of several
billion dollars. The Study is now more than 90% complete. Final drafting
and reviewing of the document is proceeding. The funds raised as part of
this current financing more than adequately support the completion of
the Study. The Company anticipates a final review of the draft Study on
or about November 15, 2012. The target completion date of the Study is
set for late November 2012. Results from the Study will be announced
immediately thereafter. The Company also intends to deliver an updated
Resource and Reserve statement, currently being prepared by Agapito
Associates Inc., coincident with this announcement.
