AgriMinco Corp.: Danakil Potash Joint Venture Announces Maiden NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb. 11, 2014) - AgriMinco Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ANO) ("AgriMinco" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has received the maiden NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate ("MRE") from the operator of the Danakil Joint Venture, Plinian Capital LLP, who have reviewed the MRE that was prepared by independent consultants K-UTEC Salt Technologies ("K-UTEC"), a German consulting firm with expertise in potash mining, and have agreed to the release of the MRE.

The MRE for the Danakil potash deposit (the "Project") was commissioned by AgriMinco's joint venture partner the Danakil Potash Corporation ("Danakil Corp."). Currently AgriMinco holds 30% interest in the Project with Danakil Corp. holding 70%.

The total MRE includes the Sylvinite ("SYL"), Upper Carnallitite ("UCAR"), Lower Carnallitite ("LCAR") and the Kainitite ("KAI") potash bearing beds and comprises of an Indicated mineral resource totalling 708.8 Mt at an average grade of 19.4% KCl (equivalent to 12.2% K₂O), for a total of 137.6 Mt of contained KCl (equivalent to 87.1 Mt of contained K₂O).

The Inferred mineral resource (for all four potash bearing beds) totals 1,116.5 Mt at an average grade of 19.1% KCl (equivalent to 12.0% K₂O), for a total of 213.2 Mt contained KCl (equivalent to 134.7 Mt contained K₂O). A summary of the mineral resource estimate is detailed in the tables below.

AgriMinco's CEO, George Roach comments, "The resource estimate confirms management's confidence in the project and reaffirms our expectations that this property has the potential to be developed into a world-class exceptionally low-cost Potash producer. The technical report due for publication is expected to add further confidence. AgriMinco is now entirely focussing its efforts to secure finance to avoid dilution and/or dispose of our retained interest in a manner that best presents value to our shareholders."

The MRE is based on all drilling to date, completed by both G&B Central African Resources Limited and Danakil Corp. between 2010 to 2013, and comprised of 55 core drill holes totalling 15,664 m metres. The mineral resource estimate was calculated using polygon areas of each drill hole locations with a defined radius of 375 metres (diameter 750 meters) for the Indicated category, and 750 metres (diameter 1,500 metres) for the Inferred category. Average dry densities used in the resource calculations for the four potash bearing beds were 2.07 g/cm³, 1.76 g/cm³, 1.85 g/cm³ and 2.05 g/cm³ for the SYL, UCAR, LCAR and KAI respectively. Average densities were from on-site measurements on the core from 34 holes.

The top of the potash bearing sequence consists of the SYL member and UCAR members which have an average thickness of 6.13 metres and 2.28 metres respectively and can be separated from the lower potash bearing sequence by the Bischofitite member which has an average thickness of 44.1 metres. The lower potash bearing beds in the sequence are the LCAR and KAI members which have average thicknesses of 4.93 metres and 8.78 metres respectively.

A copy of the NI 43-101 Technical Report will be available on the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com) under AgriMinco's profile within 45 days of this press release.
