Potash mining to go ahead on Muskowekwan

Results from a new technical report for potash mining on the Muskowekwan First Nation home reserve and the MFN Treaty Land Entitlement lands are favourable. “We look forward to progressing this project into the first potash mine on First Nations’ land. Clearly this is another significant milestone achievement for Encanto,” said James Walchuck, president and CEO of Encanto in a news release. Annual potash solution production from the caverns on the Muskowekwan property has the potential for a 52-year mine life based on the measured and indicated resource and upgrading inferred resources has the potential to significantly extend the life of any potential mine.
