Lara Acquires Sergipe Potash Targets in Brazil

posted on Jun 22, 09 03:43PM

June 22, 2009 (TSX Venture: LRA) - Lara Exploration Ltd. ("Lara" or
"the Company") is pleased to report that it has been granted potash
exploration licenses, totaling approximately 14,000 hectares, in
Sergipe State, northeast Brazil. The claims are adjacent to and cover
the extensions of the potash-bearing sedimentary basins of Vale's
Taquari-Vassouras mine, which produced 607,000 tons of potash in 2008.

These sedimentary basins have been explored extensively for oil and gas
in the past and a database of seismic surveys and exploration drilling
is available through the Brazilian National Petroleum Agency ("ANP").
This ANP data includes eight wells drilled within Lara's new licenses,
several of which intercepted potash, with the best drilled intercept a
cumulative 37.6 meters of potash mineralization in ten separate
sedimentary units between 1,710 and 1,806 meters depth. The Company
plans to access and review the available exploration data in the coming
months.

Brazil is a major consumer of potash, mostly as a feedstock for
fertilizers. Taquari-Vassouras is the only operating potash mine in
Brazil, which currently imports 90% of its potash needs.

The Company's Sergipe Potash exploration licenses are held through Lara
Aliança Ltda., a Brazilian company owned 100% by Lara Alliance BVI
Ltd., which is in turn owned 50% by Lara and 50% by Sprott Resource
Corp.
