Sprott Resource Corp. Announces Launch of One Earth Farms Corp.

TORONTO, March 4 - (TSX: SCP) - Sprott Resource Corp. ("SRC") announced today that it has launched One Earth Farms Corp. ("One Earth Farms"), a large scale, fully-integrated corporate farming entity, which intends to have operations on world class First Nations' farmland in the Prairie Provinces. SRC will invest $27.5 million in One Earth Farms to establish operations, fund working capital and support its initial growth.

"We believe that the opportunities associated with this new venture are unprecedented in the agricultural industry," said Kevin Bambrough, President and CEO of SRC. "We intend to build a long-term profitable agricultural business in partnership with the First Nations, which will improve the management and environmental sustainability of First Nations' farmland as well as benefit their peoples through increased revenue and job opportunities. We have assembled an exceptional team at One Earth Farms, which we believe provides the industry experience and operational skill necessary to build One Earth Farms."

About One Earth Farms

Management has designed a program to begin farming operations in a hub and spoke system designed to plant crops and ranch lands in annual increments, beginning with an initial minimum target of 50,000 acres in the first year of operations. One Earth Farms' professional management team, its strong capitalization and its access to large tracts of world class First Nations' farmland, positions One Earth Farms to become the largest, most efficient, operating farm in Canada.

Management believes that the timing for this venture is opportune. Global trends continue to impact food supplies, as arable land continues to decline, fresh water remains in short supply and various regions of the world are experiencing severe, recurring droughts. In addition, the global credit crisis has impacted the financing available to farmers and will negatively impact crop production in the short term. These factors, combined with a global population that continues to rise, are creating food security issues and in turn fueling substantial farming investment demand globally.

One Earth Farms intends to initiate job training programs for First Nations persons, which will help train the next generation of farmers, provide One Earth Farms with a pool of qualified employees for the future and further strengthen the relationship between One Earth Farms and the First Nations.

Appointment of Management of One Earth Farms

Larry Ruud will serve as President and CEO of One Earth Farms. Mr. Ruud brings over fifteen years experience as an active management consultant for farmers in areas such as commodity price management, capital investment decisions, process improvement, management and ownership transition and in developing farming agreements.

Mr. Ruud is a director of Viterra Inc., which is the largest grain company in Canada, and a member of its Audit Committee. Mr. Ruud holds a M.Sc. in Agriculture Economics from the University of Alberta.

"With large tracts of high quality land, Western Canada provides significant opportunity to develop a large, efficient and profitably managed corporate farm. We intend to build an industry leading business based on environmentally sustainable practices, respect for the First Nations peoples and a culture of excellence which extends across the One Earth Farms organization," said Mr. Ruud.

Blaine Favel, President and CEO of One Earth Resources Corp., has been appointed director of One Earth Farms and Chairman of One Earth Farms GP Corp., the manager of the limited partnership through which First Nations' land will be leased and farmed.
