March 2, 2010 - TORONTO - The National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation (NAAF) is excited to announce that the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, the world's largest fertilizer enterprise by capacity, has become a contributing partner to the 2010 National Aboriginal Achievement Awards, Canada's premier celebration of Aboriginal achievement which the Foundation will host in Regina March 26, 2010.

"I am delighted to welcome PotashCorp as a major partner," said National Aboriginal Achievement Foundation President and CEO Roberta Jamieson. "Potash Corporation understands the tremendous role our Gala plays in inspiring Aboriginal youth across this country to know they too can realize their dreams - dreams that will 'enrich Canada."

The National Aboriginal Achievement Awards (NAAA) were established to encourage and celebrate excellence in the Aboriginal community. NAAF created the awards in 1993, in conjunction with the United Nation's International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples. The Awards recognize the outstanding career achievements of First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in diverse occupations. Now entering its 17th year, these Awards have become a Canadian institution.

"We are very pleased to be part of the 2010 National Aboriginal Achievement Awards," said Garth Moore, President, PCS Potash. "We fully support the NAAF's goal of advancing Canada by supporting aboriginal achievement."

Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. is the world's largest fertilizer enterprise producing the three primary plant nutrients and a leading supplier to three distinct market categories: agriculture, with the largest capacity in the world in potash, third largest in each of nitrogen and phosphate; animal nutrition, with the world's largest capacity in phosphate feed ingredients; and industrial chemicals, as the largest global producer of industrial nitrogen products and the world's largest capacity for production of purified industrial phosphoric acid.

The 17th Annual National Aboriginal Achievement Awards will take place in Regina, Saskatchewan on March 26, 2010 and will be nationally broadcast on Global and APTN.
