Western Potash umbenannt
...“Saskatchewan rocks are very unique, so there’s a little bit of a risk trying this technology in a new environment and thats really what the pilot plan is about, discovering how this technology works in Saskatchewan,” Wood said.
Western Potash plans to collect data from the plant during the first year it is running and from there start planning to build a larger plant within the next decade.
The plan is to break ground on the pilot project, located about five miles south of Kronau, by the end of the year or start of next. Construction will take 12 to 18 months, with production expected to start in 2019...

Western Potash, a subsidiary of Western Resources (TSX:WRX), seems to be finally moving ahead with its long-delayed Milestone project property in Saskatchewan, Canada, even though prices for the fertilizer ingredient remain weak.
The company, which recently held one of many open houses in the community of Kronau, located about located 28 km (17.5 miles) southeast of Regina, said that instead of shelving plans due to gloomy market conditions, it has chosen a new approach to develop the mine, which makes it feasible.
First proposed in 2009, the Milestone project will produce 146,000 tonnes of potash annually over 12 years of planned operations, which are expected to kick off in 2019.
“The advantages (of the different approach) are it uses half the water and a lot less energy,” Matthew Wood, senior vice president of projects for Western Potash, told The Leader Post.
First proposed in 2009, the Milestone project is expected to produce 146,000 tonnes of potash annually over 12 years of planned operations.
The purpose of such pilot plant, the company says, is to test and optimize the horizontal solution mining method in Saskatchewan, as well as to investigate how the method can be applied to full-scale potash production.
Western Potash expects to finish the pilot project by the end of the year or start of 2018, with operations beginning in 2019...

The fact that on 13 July Uralkali settled its Chinese contracts with a higher price than last year bodes well for global price stability through the second half of 2017. However, with substantial additional capacity ramping up over the next 6-12 months, suppliers are well aware that 2017 is likely to be a year of respite, rather than the start of a substantial recovery.

Latin American production forecast with downside risk
We are confident in our assessment of capacity and production as a whole. However, one relatively major uncertainty is around the continuation of domestic KCl production in Brazil. Vale’s current mine is almost exhausted, and is expected to be completely mined out by mid-2018. Vale has a project to replace this capacity with a solution mine however, Mosaic is in the process of acquiring Vale’s fertilizer business and may decide to delay the commissioning of the new mine and simply service domestic demand through its Canadian capacity. This poses a significant downside risk to our Latin American production forecast.
