~~Form~~Asia ~~51-102F3~~Pacific Resources Announcement

1(Toronto, January 11th, 2005) Asia Pacific Resources Ltd. ~~Name~~ ~~and~~announces ~~address~~that ofit has renewed its agreement with Pacific Alliance Group (PAG), specialist advisors retained by the Company on a success fee basis to assist the Company to secure an Udon South Mining Lease. PAG assisted the Company to secure its rights over Udon North under the Concession Agreement.

~~Asia~~The ~~Pacific~~new ~~Resources~~agreement ~~Ltd~~includes a series of milestone events leading up to the public consultation process, after which the Minister of Primary Industry and Mines is expected to make a decision on the Company’s Udon South Mining Lease Application. (“ The agreement calls for Asia Pacific” orto make a progress payment upon successful completion of the ~~“Company”)~~milestone events, with the balance of the success fee payable on upon receipt of a commercially acceptable Mining Lease.

~~Suite~~In ~~405~~discussions with government officials it is clear that senior staff, ~~555~~from ~~Sixth~~all ~~Street~~departments, are rightly focusing all their efforts on providing support to the families of victims of the Tsunami disaster and to rebuilding the lives and businesses of those most in need. There is, therefore, an understandable slowdown in the work required to progress the Mining License Application for Udon South.

~~New~~John ~~Westminster~~Bovard, ~~British~~CEO ~~Columbia V3L~~of ~~5H1~~Asia Pacific Resources said “I am relieved that our staff and their families are safe. Although the Udon Thani site is hundreds of miles from the disaster region the Company is aware of families from the mine site area that have lost family members and our thoughts go out to them and to all the victims of this great tragedy. The Company is working with local authorities and private enterprise groups such as the Federation of Thai Industries in Udon Thani and the Chamber of Commerce to identify needs, support local fund raising activities and facilitate the distribution of aid. The Company would seek to match funds raised for local use up to Baht 500,000.”

~~PHONE:~~Asia ~~(604)~~Pacific ~~516-0566~~Resources also confirmed that it continues in discussions with third parties regarding offtake agreements as well as possible equity investments in the Company. No agreements have been reached, and there can be no assurance that these discussions will lead to any agreements or investments.

4. Summary of Material Change(s)

Asia Pacific Resources Ltd. has reached a favourable resolution of tenure over the Udon North Project by applying for a mining lease over the majority of the land originally held under Special Prospecting Licenses. This mining lease application has been duly registered by the Government of Thailand and the Government has advised the Company that it now has first priority over these areas for potash mining. The Government has further advised that the Company’s actions have been in compliance with the terms of its Concession Agreement with the Government.

5. Full Description of Material Change

The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Asia Pacific Potash Corporation (“APPC”), has reached a favorable resolution of tenure over the Udon North project. APPC has applied for a mining lease over the majority of the land originally held under Special Prospecting Licenses (“SPLs”) containing all of the areas where previous exploration by drilling and seismic work have identified potash resources. This mining lease application has been duly registered by the Government of Thailand and the Government has advised APPC that it now has first priority over these areas for potash mining. The Government has further advised that APPC’s actions have been in compliance with the terms of its Concession Agreement with the Government.

APPC will continue to conduct technical work over the area of Udon North in support of its application for the mining lease.

APPC held SPLs for two potash deposits in Thailand called Udon North and Udon South. The Concession Agreement dated June 4, 1993 provided that the SPLs would have expired on June 4, 2003 unless applications for a Mining License had been submitted by that date. On November 5, 2003 APPC filed applications to renew expiring SPLs for Udon North granted under the Concession Agreement pursuant to the new Minerals Act B.E.2510, which applications cover the same ground as the potash deposits known as the Udon North deposit. On December 23, 2003 the Company announced that APPC received a letter from the Department of Primary Industry and Mines in Thailand (“DPIM”) questioning APPC’s right to extend

- 2 -

or renew its SPLs over the Udon North area under the Concession Agreement. On November 3, 2004 as described above APPC and its advisers resolved this matter with the relevant government authorities

Specialist advisors retained by the Company on a success fee basis assisted the Company to secure its rights over Udon North under the Concession Agreement. These advisors have been issued 2,408,163 common shares and 2,408,163 common share purchase warrants each entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for $0.17 until May 2, 2005 in full settlement of their fee for the services related to the resolution of the Udon North matter.

These advisors continue to assist the Company with APPC’s Udon South Mining Lease application.

Development of the Udon South project remains the Company’s first priority. Exploration, engineering and environmental activities for the Udon South Project have all been completed and the project is ready for financing and construction.

APPC filed a mining lease application for Udon South in May, 2003 and the Government commenced processing of this application upon their completion of the revised mining regulations early in 2004. The processing of this application has been proceeding more slowly than the Company originally anticipated. It is the first application for a mining lease for an underground mine in Thailand and the first application under the newly revised mining law. As such, the Government has approached this first time review, and processing, of a mining lease application, at a measured pace.
