Manitoba potash push seeks long term investors for mine
Mines Minister Jerry Storie said seven groups have expressed interest in purchasing Manitoba potash and the province aims to secure committed long term investors to develop a Russell Binscarth mine. He suggested the province may hold 10 to 20 percent equity while Canamax Resources remains a small partner. The Kilborn Lua study estimates 165 million tonnes of high quality potash could yield about two million tonnes annually for 25 years with production costs around 26.26 dollars per tonne. The study, distributed to potential consortium partners, notes looming tighter global fertilizer supplies in the early 1990s and an early to mid 1960s production timeline.
