Tungsten Carbide to be Contaminating the Environment

Small amounts of tungsten are released into the environment during the production of this metal. Tungsten has been found to than eventually contaminate water systems and agricultural land. For these reasons tungsten has been identified as a toxicant of great emerging concern.

Lead author of the research, Dr. Jessica Tyrrell, has expressed concerns that human exposure to tungsten is likely to increase. Tyrrell has suggested that it is important to determine more clearly how tungsten is ending up in our bodies. Dr. Nicholas Osborne, another one of the

research paper's authors, has commented about the possibility that the emergence of tungsten and other new materials as toxins is leading to the accumulation of a complex chemical cocktail

in our bodies.

It is my professional opinion that the concerns raised by the authors of this research paper should be taken seriously. I have witnessed increased concerns of people in dealing with our increasingly polluted environment in dealing with such issues as an increase in the incidence of deadly lung cancer. The emergence of new toxins, such as tungsten, associated with other serious health problems such as stroke, should raise a red flag insofar as compelling us to more carefully determine exactly what toxins people are being exposed to and in what manners

this exposure can be lowered.

Allana Announces Tungsten Carbide Drill Results From Nova License

Allana Announces Drill Results From Nova License And Continues To Expand Potash Mineralization

Allana Potash Corp. announces drill results from 20 core holes completed on the Nova license acquired by the Company in 2012. The Company initiated its program late in 2012 and completed 20 core holes totaling 5119 metres. Analytical results have been compiled and potash mineralization extends both south and west from Allana's core license onto the Nova license. Drilling highlights include hole DM-13-29 which returned 2.50 metres of 28.3% KCl in the Sylvinite Zone, hole DM-13-30 which yielded 1.90 metres of 34.5% KCl in the Sylvinite Zone and hole DM-13-37 which returned 4.50 metres of 21.6% KCl in the Sylvinite Zone.

Farhad Abasov, President and CEO, commented "we are very pleased with the results from the exploration drilling on the Nova license. Drill results indicate the extension of Sylvinite and Kainitite mineralization south and west of the original Allana license with Sylvinite primarily located in the west, which management believes has the potential to be incorporated into our mining plan. Results indicate that kainitite is widespread, which we believe may add significantly to potential future mineral resource estimates."

Allana-Nova Drilling Results

Prior to Allana's acquisition of Nova, Nova completed 21 drill holes on its exploration license totaling 2122 metres. Nova drilling was concentrated on the western portion of its license and the program was designed to delineate extensions of the Musley Deposit as well as outline the limits of the evaporite basin. Generally, the Allana drillholes on the Nova ground intersected similar stratigraphy to that outlined by drilling on the Allana license. Drilling has now defined the western edge of the basin where Sylvinite distribution is variable however Kainitite is present throughout the basin. All holes were drilled vertically and true widths of the potash zones are estimated to be very similar to drilled widths due to the flat-lying nature of the potash horizons.

Drill results have been incorporated into the Allana database and Allana expects to incorporate Nova results into an updated mineral resource estimate in the coming months.
