ASIA PACIFIC RESOURCES LTD ("APQ-T") - Private Placement Of $ 3,094,100

Asia Pacific Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce a private placement
financing consisting of 5,625,636 units at C$0.55 per unit, to raise a total of C$
3,094,100. Each unit will be comprised of one common share and one full
warrant. Each warrant will enable the holder to purchase one additional common
share from the company for C$1.00 until May 31, 2002. The Company has
received regulatory approvals and it expects to close the placement shortly.

The proceeds from the private placement will be used for general working capital
and for continuing certain development programs in Thailand.

Asia Pacific is developing the 2 million tonne per annum Somboon potash mine
near Udon Thani in northeast Thailand. When completed, this mine will be one of
the world`s largest potash mines. Potash resources identified to date total over
1.4 billion tonnes, in two high-grade deposits, known as the Udon deposit and the
Somboon deposit. The initial mine development will be at Somboon, with future
developments likely at the Udon deposit, which is roughly three times as large as
Somboon and of similar grade.

Asia Pacific Resources Ltd. Announces New Strategy


Story Filed: Tuesday, July 10, 2001 2:15 PM EST

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, JULY 10, 2001 (CCN Newswire via COMTEX) -- Asia Pacific
Resources Ltd. ("the Company") is pleased to announce its subsidiary, Asia Pacific Potash Corp.
("APPC"), last month acquired Special Atchayabats (exploration licenses) for the 192 sq. kms. covering
the Somboon and Udon potash resources. The Company also in June completed a $3 million private
placement of treasury shares. These funds will be used for on-going development programs in Thailand
and general working capital.

A new strategy has been developed having as its single objective the optimization of long-term
shareholder value. There are three main components of the revised strategy:

* Recognize that project optimization and preliminary design engineering, contract evaluation and
negotiation, corporate structuring and other work must be completed before construction can begin. The
remaining Development Program has an estimated cost of U.S.$ 19 million (including a U.S. $5 million
payment to the Government of Thailand upon receipt of the Mining Licenses). Although it is difficult to
forecast, a reasonable estimate to complete this work would be 12 to 18 months.

* Consider the total potash resource (Somboon and Udon) as one asset. This will allow us to focus on the
development of a single, unified and highly competitive Thai potash producer.

* Actively encourage the participation of partners with the interest and strength to finance, build and
operate the Somboon Project. Acknowledge that such companies may require management control and
be prepared to negotiate this in return for a stronger implementation plan with an enhanced probability of
optimum success.

The specific objectives for the remainder of the year are:

* To strengthen the Company by restructuring the existing convertible debentures and raising additional
funds for the Development Program.

* To complete the acquisition of the Mining Licenses.

* To secure arrangements with a partner to ensure the development of the Somboon Project on terms
which meet the expectations of our shareholders.

* To continue to strengthen the management team as necessary.

During the past year world potash production and international trade increased by 2% and 3%
respectively. Much of the growth occurred in the Asian markets of most interest to the Company. Annual
potash consumption in these markets is currently estimated by the International Fertilizer Association at
about 13.9 million tonnes and is forecast to increase to 16.1 million tonnes by 2005. Selling prices
remained relatively firm and are expected to increase modestly over the next few years. These projections
confirm our belief that there will be a ready market for Somboon products. There are no other competitive
green-field projects being developed in the region and we anticipate that the proposed Somboon Mine will
be a very cost competitive supplier to the Asian potash markets.
