• Chiefs Want Share of Potash Revenues

Potash has made international headlines recently over BHP's attempt at a hostile take-over of PotashCorp. However, the Australian company's $40 million dollar bid was halted by Industry Minister Tony Clement, but BHP has 30-days to reconsider its offer, meaning the debate over one of the world's hottest commodities isn't over yet. We have, approximately, a 500 year supply of potash. We are home to half of the world's potash. It is in our territory so obviously we have to rethink how we want to shape the future of our province and First Nations people need to be involved," Chief [Guy Lonechild] said. Chief Lonechild added that First Nations people are the fastest growing community. "It's important for young people to say there are opportunities here at home in Saskatchewan. They don't h...

• Potash Our Next Hot Commodity?

We're very encouraged to see companies like Western Potash carrying out the potash drilling programs," John Fox, assistant deputy minister of Science, Technology, Energy and Mines, said. "Potash was originally discovered in Manitoba back in the 1950s, but more information still needs to be gathered in the exploratory phase to firm up what the potash resource looks like in Manitoba. [Patricio Varas] said a clear indication that new potash production may be in the offing is the fact that last month BHP Billiton made a $284 million offer to buy Anglo Potash, a Calgary exploration company with 1.5 million acres of exploration rights in Saskatchewan.

• The Potash Tug-of-War Hurts World

We're not there yet. Potash Corp., the world's largest potash producer and the second and third largest producer of nitrogen and phosphate, three key crop nutrients, presented poor quarterly results this week. For this industry, weak results in Q3 means 2009 is a write-off and most hope fertilizer buyers will come off the sidelines next year. who can entirely blame the farmers? The price of potash remained at very low levels for decades and farmers grew comfortable with affordable, predictable fertilizer prices. When global demand for nutrients skyrocketed last year, fertilizer producers took full advantage and the price climbed to $1,000 (US) per tonne. As a result, last year's predicament provided exceptional value to investors and shareholders, but little to farmers.
