Progressive Planet’s Red Lake Diatomaceous Earth Mine is located approximately 60 kilometers from Kamloops, BC. The Red Lake Mine is an operating mine which contains a unique deposit of diatomaceous earth commingled with calcium bentonite. To Progressive Planet’s knowledge, there are only two mines in the world with this type of red tinged diatomaceous earth (diatomite) with calcium bentonite; the other mine is located in Scandinavia.
The versatility of diatomaceous earth opens the door to numerous benefits. Diatomaceous earth from the Red Lake Mine is currently registered for various purposes in both Canada and the United States, including registrations as a feed additive for agricultural use in the United States under the brand Red Lake Earth™; Last Crawl™ Insecticide Powder registered as a natural insecticide for domestic applications in both Canada and the United States; and DE-cide™ diatomaceous earth product is registered as an insecticide for commercial applications in Canada.
While these registrations encompass specific end-use goals, there are a multitude of possible applications for diatomaceous earth. Beyond our current registered products, Progressive Planet continues to develop other innovative uses for the untapped advantages that diatomaceous earth has to offer.
