Mar. 1, 2011 (Marketwire Canada) —

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA — Passport Potash, Inc. (“Passport Potash” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:PPI)(OTCQX:PPRTF) announced today that its common shares have commenced trading on the OTCQX International, the highest tier of the OTC market in the United States, under the symbol “PPRTF” on March 1, 2011. Passport’s common shares will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “PPI”.

Passport Potash expects to benefit from being listed on the OTCQX alongside many internationally respected corporations by gaining greater exposure and liquidity in the United States, where the Holbrook Basin potash project is located.

 

Passport’s President Joshua Bleak commented: “We are pleased to be listing on the OTCQX, as we anticipate greater ease of trading in a convenient and transparent forum. The listing will also enhance awareness of the Company’s developments and progress, and at the same time expand our exposure to additional investors.”

Merriman Capital, Inc. will serve as Passport Potash’s Principal American Liaison (“PAL”) on OTCQX, responsible for providing guidance on OTCQX requirements.

On behalf of the Board of Directors
