Saskatchewan's potash traced to ancient ocean geology
Original: The Ocean Beneath: 400 Million Years of Geology Behind Saskatchewan’s Potash Story
Nutrien has published a look at the deep geological history behind Saskatchewan's potash, explaining how an ancient ocean that existed roughly 400 million years ago left behind the mineral deposits the province mines today. The piece connects that prehistoric seabed to the modern industry that makes the region one of the world's leading potash producers.
Why now: Interest in potash supply and food security keeps attention on the origins of Saskatchewan's deposits.
