Increasing potash prices confirm that global potash demand is outstripping supply. Potash North's experienced technical and financial team is focused on expediting the exploration, evaluation and potential development of the permit areas.
Potash North is an emerging potash explorer in the world's most prolific potash basin, located amongst the largest potash producers in the world, as well as being in close proximity to existing infrastructure.
The price of potash continues to rise. FOB Saskatchewan mine prices have increased 400% in last three years.
