Our Competitive Advantages
- These adjoining Manitoba deposits encompass a combined resource of nearly one billion tonnes of ore grading.21.0-25.4% potash (with an estimated in situ value of $40 billion).
- Historic drilling on Western Potash’s property reveals Potash potential.
- Western Potash has a rare, highly leveraged opportunity to develop a prospectively world-class potash discovery.
- Global production is dominated by a tiny handful of major mining powerhouses. As a junior potash exploration/development company, Western Potash has very few peers in North America.
- 85% of Canadian potash mines are operating at or near capacity. There have been no new potash mines on the prairies in almost 40 years.
- Global potash production is at full capacity and new production is needed as demand begins to outstrip supply.
- Western Potash has a strong, proven management team and a large cash position.
- The Company benefits from exceptional regional infrastructure that makes for especially robust project economics.
- The U.S. border is a mere 55 kms to the south of Western Potash, providing easy access to the world's largest potash market.
