A SASKATCHEWAN POTASH REVIEW

摘要

This paper will provide an update of the Saskatchewan Potash experience with some background on the last forty years of operational development, current technology and expansion interest in this area of Canada's potash reserves.Discussion will focus on current operations, a current technology review and relate new technology options that have been tested but which are not yet generally exploited in the potash industry.Some topics of discussion include dry processing, wet milling, underground mining machine and back-up equipment development, mill water handling reduction, brine injection and solution mining vs. traditional mining systems for Potash. Saskatchewan has a unique place in the current world supply of potash and operations in Saskatchewan have demonstrated a long and stable history.These features can provide an interesting case study for other high volume miners and producers.
