Company Statement:
Western Potash Corp. is a junior mining company engaged in the acquisition, evaluation and exploration of potash mineral properties in Western Canada. The Company's objectives are to define and develop a world-class potash deposit while providing its shareholders with a unique opportunity to participate in the blue-chip dominated potash mining industry.
The Company 's key properties consist of 3 potash exploration permits in Southwest Manitoba located along the Saskatchewan border. The property covers 1000 km² and adjoins two potash deposits that are estimated to host over 1 billion tonnes of potash. In addition, the company was also granted 50,000 hectares of Saskatchewan exploration permits and applied for an additional 150,000 hectares in Southern Manitoba. Recent 2D seismic data and drilling results have confirmed the continuation and presence of the salt beds that host potash mineralization throughout the Company’s property. Western Potash will continue to search for appropriate mineral properties to add to its potash portfolio.
Current Operations:
Russell Miniota
Western Potash Corp. was formed when the opportunity to acquire key prospective ground adjacent to known Potash deposits in the province of Manitoba, Canada, presented itself. In July 2007 a private consortium obtained the potash rights on 545 square kilometers, adjacent to BHP Billiton’s Lease and Agrium’s Exploration permits, within 13km of Saskatchewan Potash Corps’s Rocanville potash mine. The Russell-Miniota project lies in the Southwest corner of mining friendly Manitoba along the Saskatchewan border. The property is well-located 55 km from the US border with access to all necessary infrastructures. (The Trans-Canada Highway and railway lines intersect the property). (Read More)
