Forward-Looking Statements and Forward-Looking Information All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and forward-looking information under similar Canadian legislation and are based on the reasonable expectations, estimates and projections of the Company as of the date of this presentation. Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, without limitation, possible events, trends and opportunities and statements with respect to possible events, trends and opportunities, including with respect to, among other things, the growth of the phosphate market, global market trends, expected industry demands, the Companys business strategy and investment criteria, the nature of potential business acquisitions, costs and timing of business acquisitions, capital expenditures, successful development of potential acquisitions, currency fluctuations, government regulation and environmental regulation. Generally, forward-looking statements and forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as plans, expects or does not expect, is expected, budget, scheduled, estimates, forecasts, intends, anticipates or does not anticipate, or believes, or variations of such words and phrases or state that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will be taken, occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements and forwardlooking information are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the company as of the date of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. The estimates and assumptions contained in this presentation, which may prove to be incorrect, include, but are not limited to, the various assumptions of the company set forth herein. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and forwardlooking information. Such factors include, but are not limited to fluctuations in the supply and demand for potash, changes in competitive pressures, including pricing pressures, timing and amount of capital expenditures, changes in capital markets and corresponding effects on the companys investments, changes in currency and exchange rates, unexpected geological or environmental conditions, changes in and the effects of, government legislation, taxation, controls and regulations and political or economic developments in jurisdictions in which the Company carries on its business or expects to do business, success in retaining or recruiting officers and directors for the future success of the Companys business, officers and directors allocating their time to other ventures; success in obtaining any required additional financing to make

target acquisition or develop an acquired business; employee relations, and risks associated with obtaining any necessary licenses or permits. Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can affect the companys actual results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements and forward-looking information made by, or on behalf of, the Company. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements and forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. All of the forwardlooking statements and forward-looking information made in this presentation are qualified by these cautionary statements. Although management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statements or forward-looking information that are incorporated by reference herein, except in accordance with applicable securities laws. This presentation includes estimates of potash potential in the Holbrook basin of east-central Arizona. These estimates are not mineral resources or mineral reserves as defined by NI43-101. These estimates were based on a historical survey completed by the Arizona Geological Survey. The potential quantity and grade or the potash is conceptual in nature, and is based on analysis of drill data and assays from Arkla and Duval completed in the 1960s and 1970s. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. Timelines used in this presentation are for the purpose of aiding management in the planning and implementation of the project, and are not based on a detailed assessment of project requirements. Consequently the timelines are subject to material revision based on when technical reports and/or feasibility studies, if any, are completed. Future phases of the project are contingent upon completion of preceding phases. Nothing in this presentation should be construed as either an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell shares in any jurisdiction.

Functions of Potash

Potash is often referred to as the quality nutrient because it helps plants develop strong root systems and retain water, contributing to higher yields and greater resistance to drought, disease and insects. It also improves the taste and nutritional value of food, and, in animals, helps growth, maintenance and milk production.

POTENTIAL SRK Consulting has estimated a potash exploration potential on Passports lands, based on current drill hole data, ranging between 290 to 315 million metric tonnes K2O (460 to 500 million metric tonnes KCl) using a grade of 2% K2O as a threshold of mineralization. * HOLDINGS Passport has significant holdings within the Holbrook Basin, with current holdings totaling more than 140 square miles and including 42 square miles of private land. EXPLORATION Since 2009 30 new drill holes have been completed on Passports holdings. The data from this new drilling, together with the 100 line miles of 2D seismic survey which have been completed, will be included in a NI 43-101 Resource Report which will also include data from over 100 historic holes that were drilled on Passports holdings by the Arkla and Duval companies in the 1960s and 1970s.

COMPETITION The Holbrook Basin represents the only major potash project in the U.S. not in direct competition with the oil and gas industry. MINING Passport is evaluating its mining options to determine whether solution mining or underground mining would be the most viable form of mining. Year-round mining is possible due to the favorable climate. JURISDICTION Arizona is a mining friendly state and one of the top mining states in the U.S.
*Disclaimer--The exploration potential is not a resource estimate. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
