announce that it has engaged SNC-Lavalin Inc. to provide pre-feasibility study
services on the Burr Project adjacent to the PCS Lanigan Mine located 107

resource assessment, shaft, tailings management facilities and transportation.
Based on this work SNC-Lavalin will develop capital and operating cost estimates
with an intended accuracy of �25% and a preliminary project execution schedule.
Athabasca also intends to file a new National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant technical report in
connection with the Study. The Study is scheduled for completion in the third
quarter of 2009.


"We are delighted that SNC-Lavalin is working with Athabasca on this important
milestone. SNC-Lavalin has been involved in the potash industry for a very long
time and has previously provided services to many potash mines in Saskatchewan"
