       Corp." or such other name as may be acceptable to Industry Canada and
       the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Name Change"); and

    3. Acquisition by Trigon of up to 100% of the issued and outstanding
       shares of Intercontinental Potash Corp. ("ICP") which it does not
       otherwise own, all on the terms and subject to the conditions
       contained in a Support Agreement dated as of September 25, 2009 among
       Trigon and ICP, and the issuance of securities of Trigon in
       consideration thereof (the "RTO").
    

99.5% of the proxies received and all of the shareholders present at the Meeting voted in favour of the transaction.

Sidney Himmel , President and CEO of Trigon Uranium Corp. and Intercontinental Potash Corp. stated "We are pleased that the Trigon shareholders support the acquisition of ICP. We believe the new company is positioned to develop polyhalite as the feedstock for very low cost production of the premium potash fertilizer, potassium sulphate, also known as "SOP". SOP is a value-added non-chloride potassium fertilizer which sells at a higher price than standard potash, sylvite. We believe that polyhalite can be developed as a cost-effective multinutrient and slow release potash fertilizer."

Further details of each of the RTO, Consolidation and Name Change are set forth in the Circular and in the joint press release of Trigon and ICP dated as of September 30, 2009 , each of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Each of the RTO, Consolidation and Name Change remain subject to the receipt of the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The RTO is also subject to a minimum number of ICP shares being tendered to the offer to purchase.

About Intercontinental Potash Corp

ICP is developing its potash properties with specific focus on Polyhalite as a slow-release multi-nutrient fertilizer and as a potassium sulphate potash fertilizer from its 100%-owned Ochoa project in Lea County, New Mexico . Polyhalite is comparable to other multi-nutrient potassium fertilizers such as langbeinite in which towards two million tons are sold per year. Polyhalite has the advantage of being a cost effective, chloride-free new fertilizer. The Company's Ochoa property consists of federal sub-surface potassium permits granted by the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") covering more than 36,500 acres of land. All reclamation plans, environmental plans, and archeological work have been approved by BLM.
