Company planning new potash mine in Saskatchewan
There could soon be another new potash mine coming to Saskatchewan, but this one will be entirely different in its operation.
A typical mine extracts the ore and then separates the potash and salt, leaving the massive tailing piles as a byproduct.
The Gensource Potash Corporation mine will use a process called selective mining.
“It selectively dissolves only the potash, the KCL and it leaves the NACL, the salt, down below in the ore zone,” explained president and CEO Mike Ferguson.
