Western Potash Corp. (CVE:WPX) reports the purchase of a large parcel of surface lands for its Milestone potash solution mining project, Saskatchewan.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The Company has completed water, soil, vegetation, and wildlife baseline studies over the site as part of its Environmental Approval process. The Company has also completed airborne geophysical surveys, satellite imagery acquisition, and geotechnical drilling as part of this process. Data from these studies was used to complete a detailed constraints assessment as part of the land acquisition process.
Western Potash’s President and CEO, Patricio Varas says:
“Securing the Milestone plant site represents another key achievement in the ongoing development of this world class potash project. We now have ownership of enough surface lands to accommodate an efficient plant design, one capable of future expansion to higher production rates. This purchase brings Western Potash a significant step closer to making Milestone one of the largest, most accessible, greenfield, independently owned potash deposits, being developed in the world today.”
