HNZ Potash in the News
The Friday, October 21 edition of The Tribune-News reported on concerns of landowners in River Meadows Ranch regarding unexpected drilling by HNZ Potash for potash test wells in their area. A representative of their community association met with representatives of Texas-based Hunt Oil, which is a partner with NZ Legacy in HNZ Potash. The concerns and discussion are reported in "Potential Potash Mining Takes Residents by Surprise" by journalist Teri Walker. River Meadows Ranch is located on the southwest side of Highway 180, near Potter Mesa, south of the Petrified Forest.
Passport Potash Resource Report Due by the End of October
Passport Potash NI 43-101 technical resource report is due by the end of October, but it will not contain estimates of how much potash could be extracted from the company's holdings. That information will be available in another two months due to the need for third-party verification of historic data. See "Passport Potash Resource Report Has Been Delayed" in The Tribune-News (October 21, 2011).
