The JV has planned an extensive exploration programme, which will cover nine permitted areas that extend south-east from the eastern shore of Last Mountain Lake to Broadview.
North Atlantic Potash CEO David Waugh said the JV will expand the firm’s resource base knowledge in additional permitted areas, leveraging the land and holdings, while advancing the potash development strategy.
