Vancouver, B.C., August 23rd, 2024.   American Potash Corp. KCL-CSE ("American Potash" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement”) through the issuance of 16,160,000 units (“Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $808,000. Each Unit consisted of one common share of the Company and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.10 until August 23, 2026.

The Company has paid a 7% finder’s fee to Haywood Securities Inc. in connection with proceeds raised by the Company from investors introduced to the Company by Haywood, consisting of cash of $50,960 and non-transferable broker warrants (each a "Broker's Warrant") in the amount of 1,019,200. Each Broker’s Warrant has the same terms as the Warrants. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months, expiring on December 23, 2024.

An insider of the Company has subscribed for Units pursuant to the Private Placement. The issuance of the Units to the insider pursuant to the Private Placement (the “Insider Participation”) will be considered to be a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of the Insider Participation.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Private Placement for permitting on its properties and for working capital.
