| Deposit | THIS DEPOSIT IS ONE OF 14 ADDITIONAL SASKATCHEWAN, CANADA, POTASH DEPOSITS ADDED TO THE 1982 ECONOMIC EVALUATION, BECAUSE OF ADDITIONAL RESOURCES ESTIMATED BY MAFO PERSONNEL. THESE RESOURCES REPRESENT DEPOSITS THAT WERE OWNED BY MINING COMPANIES IN THE PAST, BUT BECAME UNECONOMICAL TO HOLD. THE LEASES WERE SUBSEQUINTLY DROPPED. IN ORDER FOR THIS DEPOSIT TO BE DEVELOPED A HIGHER PRICE FOR POTASH WOULD BE REQUIRED. |
