	    VANCOUVER, Feb. 9 /CNW/ - Encanto Potash Corp. ("the Company") wishes to
announce that it has exercised its option to repurchase a 51% interest of the
Company's existing potash properties (the "Potash Properties") from Lion
Energy Corp. (formerly Raytec Metals Corp.) ("Lion") for 26,000,000 common
shares of the Company. Lion acquired its interest in the Potash Properties by
incurring $6,500,000 in expenditures on the Potash Properties prior to
December 31, 2009. Lion will then hold an aggregate 45,846,525 shares of the
Company equal to 27.6% of the Company's 166,252,936 issued shares.
	    Mr. James Walchuck, President of the Company states, "The great drill

exercise our option a very easy one. Along with our Spar Prospect we now have
a second high grade prospect with excellent resource potential."
