RE: POTASH TRANSPORTATION COST
RE: POTASH TRANSPORTATION COSTNice numbers RY. Better add a few more 100's to their costs.
Miners must dig through a treacherous, watery band around mile down that flows like quicksand and can seep into mine shafts and flood the mine.Thepotash miners of the 1950s and '60s solved that problem by temporarilyfreezing the band, then lowering in hundreds of cast- iron rings toprotect the mine shaft. The operation is so expensive that no new mines have been started for about 40 years.
