Potash One's Legacy Project Approved by Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment

Potash One Inc. (TSX:KCL) - Robert Friedland, Chairman and Paul Matysek, President and Chief Executive Officer announced today that the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment (the "Ministry") has approved the Legacy Project's Environmental Impact Statement (the "EIS").

"This landmark approval sets the stage for the development and operation of Saskatchewan's first greenfield potash production facility in almost 40 years," Mr. Friedland said. "Licensing to permit construction will now commence."

The decision announced by Saskatchewan's Environment Minister this week is the first approval ever granted to a greenfield potash mine under the current Environmental Assessment Act.

"We applaud the Government of Saskatchewan for their expression of confidence in the Legacy Project with the approval of our environmental application," stated Mr. Matysek. "The EIS approval is fundamental to the development of the Legacy Project. We have a well located, environmentally-optimized design, with a commitment to state-of-the-art on-going monitoring measures."

"The approval represents almost three years of collaborative efforts from a highly specialized and dedicated team of environmental and design professionals engaged in environmental baseline data collection, modeling, analysis and stakeholder engagement. I congratulate the Potash One team, our consultants, particularly Golder Associates of Saskatoon, and public officials from the Saskatchewan Government for producing this outstanding product."

Potash One Inc. recently released the results of a feasibility study on the Legacy Project (the "Study"), located in one of the world's richest potash regions 80 kilometers northwest of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Study projects an economically robust solution mine with the capacity and reserves to initially produce 2.86 million tonnes of potash product every year for an initial 47 years. Production, upon securing financing, is anticipated to start in the third quarter of 2014.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

Paul F. Matysek, M.Sc., P.Geo., President and Chief Executive Officer
