Ethiopian Potash Corp. Appoints New Directors

Ethiopian Potash Corp. (the "Company" or "EPC") (TSX VENTURE:FED)(TSX
VENTURE:FED.WT) is pleased to announce the appointments of Bruce Cumming and
Michael Galloro (the Company's Chief Financial Officer) as directors of the
Company, effective April 12, 2012.


The Company also announces the resignations of Paul DesLauriers, Robert Metcalfe
and Binh Vu from the board of directors (the "Board"), effective April 12, 2012.
The Company thanks Messrs. DesLauriers, Metcalfe and Vu for their service to
EPC.


Commenting on the Board changes, interim Chief Executive Officer and director of
the Company, George Roach notes: "These board changes are part of the process of
reorganisation required to facilitate the early exercise of EPC's option to
acquire G&B Central African Resources Ltd (the owner of the properties in the
Danakil). EPC anticipates a successful conclusion to the negotiation of such
early exercise (which is currently underway) in the near future. In addition,
these changes are an important requirement in the ongoing negotiations intended
to secure additional finance through a strategic investor.


"The appointment of Mr Bruce Cumming to the board should be seen as further
confirmation of the commitment of G&B to EPC and the exercise of the option
referred to above. In addition, Mr Cumming will be evaluating the exploration
undertaken to date and EPC anticipates the release of the results of this in
early May 2012. Simultaneously, EPC will develop an exploration program to be
implemented in the Central/eastern regions of the licences. This area has known
mineralisation at shallow depth, identified in recent and historic drilling.


"EPC anticipates the appointment of a new CEO and further restructuring of the
board as the negotiations referred to above progress."


Bruce Cumming is an exploration geologist with over 36 years work experience
throughout Africa. He graduated from the University of Cape Town with a B.Sc
(Hons) degree in 1975. He is a SACNASP & Engineering Institute of Zambia
registered geoscientist and also a member of the Geological Society of South
Africa. He worked for 26 years with the Falconbridge Limited group companies
through Southern and West Africa exploring for nickel, copper, gold, diamonds
