These are the third and fourth wells in the Company's 2010 delineation drilling program on its Muskowekwan property in Saskatchewan. Encanto has now drilled a total of five wells on this permit. The drill program is now complete. The thicknesses and assay grades from these holes as reported below are generally consistent with all the previous wells drilled on this lease. For comparative purposes the previously announced hole results have also been disclosed below these current results. 15-14-27-16W2 Results: Member | Depth to Top | Thickness Meters | Percent (Weighted Average) | K2O | KCl | Carnallite | Insolubles | Patience Lake | 1218.51 m | 2.73 | 30.60 | 48.44 | 0.43 | 9.31 | Belle Plaine | 1229.47 m | 3.85 | 25.21 | 39.90 | 0.44 | 3.46 | Esterhazy | 1261.96 m | 2.36 | 11.49 | 18.19 | 0.18 | 0.65 | 15-16-27-15w2 Results: Member | Depth to Top | Thickness Meters | Percent (Weighted Average) | K2O | KCl | Carnallite | Insolubles | Patience Lake | 1183.19 m | 2.99 | 27.00 | 42.74 | 0.49 | 9.10 | Belle Plaine | 1192.72 m | 4.11 | 24.79 | 39.24 | 3.92 | 7.28 | Esterhazy | 1225.67 m | 4.60 | 17.65 | 27.94 | 9.14 | 1.07 | CEO Jim Walchuck states, "Consistent grades and thicknesses have been demonstrated by these five wells to extend laterally at least six miles. Combined with the responses seen on our sixty-three square mile 3D seismic survey we are optimistic that this will result in a significant resource in our upcoming NI 43-101 report. We expect the NI 43-101 report to be completed by late January/early February 2011. It is encouraging that our assay grades and thicknesses are similar or better than the published grades from other Canadian producing mines." 11-18-27-15W2 Results (November 22, 2010 Press Release): Member | Depth to Top | Thickness Meters | Percent (Weighted Average) | K2O | KCl | Carnallite | Insolubles | Patience Lake | 1183.79 m | 3.31 | 22.22 | 35.16 | 0.53 | 12.10 | Belle Plaine | 1194.59 m | 3.66 | 26.19 | 41.46 | 0.52 | 5.41 | Esterhazy | 1226.44m | 2.56 | 22.25 | 35.22 | 10.36 | 1.71 | 7-2-27-15W2 Results (November 5, 2010 Press Release): Member | Depth to Top | Thickness Meters | Percent (Weighted Average) | K2O | KCl | Carnallite | Insolubles | Patience Lake | 1187.64 m | 3.43 | 25.31 | 40.06 | 0.65 | 8.97 | Belle Plaine | 1197.52 m | 5.10 | 23.85 | 37.75 | 0.57 | 4.92 | Esterhazy | 1231.55 m | 2.06 | 23.70 | 37.51 | 0.30 | 1.44 | 2-9-27-15W2 Results (February 2, 2010 Press Release): Member | Depth to Top | Thickness Meters | Percent (Weighted Average) | K2O | KCl | Carnallite | Insolubles | Patience Lake | 1193.60 m | 3.64 | 25.24 | 39.95 | 0.08 | 10.23 | Belle Plaine | 1203.38 m | 2.43 | 25.48 | 40.33 | 0.09 | 5.45 | Esterhazy | 1237.63 m | 5.34 | 12.36 | 19.56 | 5.84 | 1.39 | The technical content and assay results in this news release has been read and approved by Tabetha A.
