Project Update - Fall 2021
CanPacific Potash Inc. (CanPacific Potash) is moving forward with the development of a test cavern in order to trial potash mining efficiencies for the proposed Project Albany.
The test facility will have a footprint of approximately 150 m x 150 m and include two production wells, a groundwater well, a deep disposal well, above ground pipelines, brine and water tanks, a salt bin, pumps, a transformer, and modular trailers. No brine or potash will be stored in ponds on the surface. No potash will be made as a saleable product. The pilot project will be decommissioned upon completion and the area rehabilitated to its original agricultural use.
CanPacific Potash is committed to upholding the highest environmental standards and building sustainable futures for the communities where we operate. We recognize that in progressing this project, we must listen to and respect the views of all stakeholders. The project has received the necessary permits required to construct and operate the test facility including the following approvals:
• Development Permit, water well SE 24-14-15 W2
• Water Rights License / Approval to Operate (water works)
• Development Permit, potash testing facility
• Heritage Clearance, SE 24-14-15 W2M
