The Dove Creek Project encompasses an area of interest of the Paradox Formation, which is located in Utah’s San Juan County and Colorado’s Dolores and Montezuma Counties. The target is in cycle 18 of the middle Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation. The area of interest of the Dove Creek project includes approximately 10,000 acres of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands located in the State of Utah, 3,000 acres of BLM lands in the State of Colorado, and approximately 2,600 acres of land held by Utah. A Utah State Land auction for potash was held this week and Intercontinental Potash Corp. acquired approximately 2,600 acres, which were bid for. Prospecting Permits continue to be prosecuted in respect of the BLM Lands on a priority rights basis to Intercontinental.
