TRADING SYMBOL:  TSXV:EPO

VANCOUVER, Nov. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - Encanto Potash Corp. ("Encanto" or the "Company") (TSXV: EPO and OTCQX: ENCTF) announces it has agreed with investors for a private placement of up to 6,000,000 flow through units at a price of $0.20 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1,200,000. Each unit consists of one flow-through common share ("FT Share") and one-half of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one non flow-through common share at $0.30 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.  The FT Shares will be "flow-through" shares pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada).

Encanto will also conduct a non-brokered private placement to insiders of Encanto of 3,294,706 non flow-through units at a price of $0.17 per unit for gross proceeds of $560,100. Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one share purchase warrant, each whole warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share at $0.30 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.

The proceeds of the flow-through private placement will be used by the Company to incur eligible Canadian Exploration Expenses as defined by the Income Tax Act (Canada).  The proceeds from the non-flow through private placement will be used for general working capital.

The Company will pay a finders' fee to Secutor Capital Management Corp. ("Secutor") in respect of the flow-through private placement of 8% of the gross proceeds and will issue to Secutor warrants entitling it to purchase that number of common shares as is equal to 4% of the number of units sold in the flow-through private placement.  Each warrant will entitle Secutor to purchase one common share at a price of $0.30 for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.

Completion of the private placement and the payment of the finder's fees remain subject to the acceptance for filing of the TSX Venture Exchange.  All securities issued under the private placement will have a four month statutory hold period.
