TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - March 10, 2014) - IC Potash Corp. (TSX: ICP) (OTCQX: ICPTF) ("ICP" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the filing of the "NI 43-101 Technical Report, Ochoa Project Feasibility Study, Lea County, New Mexico, USA" (the "Report") on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). The Report is also filed on the Company website (www.icpotash.com). The date of the Report is March 7, 2014, with an effective date of January 9, 2014. It was prepared by Qualified Persons from Agapito Associates Inc. and SNC-Lavalin Inc. All dollar amounts in this press release are U.S. dollars and all tons are short tons.
The Report includes a summary of the Ochoa Project (the "Project"), including geology and mineralization, exploration and drilling, resources and reserves, mining methods, mineral processing and metallurgical testing, infrastructure, hydrology, environmental permitting, marketing, capital costs, operating costs, project economics, and conclusions and recommendations.
The Report recommends that ICP immediately seek funding for bridge engineering while also seeking full funding of the Ochoa Project. The Report also recommends that the Company move to implementation by commencing engineering, procurement, and construction management ("EPCM") activities and completing the environmental permitting.
Mr. Sidney Himmel, CEO of ICP, stated: "The completion and filing of this report, and the recommendations of its authors, allows the Company to progress to obtain financing and project partners to advance towards construction and production."
Highlights from the Report include:
The Report identifies Measured and Indicated Resources of 1,017.8 million tons at an average grade of 83.9% by weight polyhalite. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources are summarized in the table below:

5 Indicated Resource located between 0.75-mile and 1.5-mile radius from an exploration core hole. |
6 Inferred Resource located between 1.5-mile and 3.0-mile radius from an exploration core hole. |

The Company released the details of a feasibility study on January 23, 2014. The Report outlines a detailed 50-year mine plan as well as calculated Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves based on the Project's Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources. Contained within the mine plan are approximately 182.4 million tons of Proven and Probable Reserves grading 78.05% by weight polyhalite. Measured and Indicated mineral resources become Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves once it has been determined that the resources are economic for extraction. These Reserves are shown below:

Mineral Reserves are included in Mineral Resources |
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources exist to the north, east, and west of the 50-year mine plan boundary and there is a reasonable expectation that those resources will be economically mineable, which would allow for an extension of mining operations beyond 50 years.

About IC Potash Corp.
ICP has demonstrated a low-cost method to produce Sulphate of Potash ("SOP") from its 100%-owned Ochoa polyhalite deposit in southeast New Mexico. The Company intends to become a primary, long-term producer of SOP. The global market for SOP is 5.5 million tons per year, with producers benefiting from substantial price premiums over regular potash, known as muriate of potash. SOP is a non-chloride potash fertilizer widely used in the horticultural industry and for high value crops, such as fruits, vegetables, tobacco and potatoes. It is applicable for soils where there are substantial agricultural activity, high soil salinity, and in arid regions. The Ochoa Project has access to excellent local labor resources, low-cost electricity and natural gas, water, rail lines, and the Port of Galveston, Texas. ICP's land holdings consist of nearly 90,000 acres of federal subsurface potassium prospecting permits and State of New Mexico potassium mining leases.
