Atacama Acquires Major New Potash Project in Brazil

Atacama Minerals Corp. (\"Atacama\" or the \"Company\") (TSX VENTURE:AAM) is pleased to announce that it has acquired a large land package in a major new potash region in northeastern Brazil. Application has been made for exploration permits in the state of Bahia covering 1,444 square kilometers (357,000 acres) of lands located 30 kilometres west of the port city of Salvador.

The \"Salvador Potash Project\" is located along the Atlantic coast within the highly prospective southern on-shore portion of the Reconcavo Basin.

Research of historical data concerning the history and development of oil, gas and halite salt deposits in the Reconcavo Basin has revealed the occurrence of potash beds of various meters in thickness directly overlying the halite salt bed located within the evaporitic section of the lower Alianca Formation of upper Jurassic age(i). Petrographic work(ii) has confirmed the existence of potash minerals sylvite and sylvinite interbedded in halite salt within a 9 meter section of drill core from hole MQ-3, drilled in 1972.
