The critically important downhole ambient temperature averaged 63oC which ranks this deposit one of the highest in Saskatchewan.

Western Potash Milestone, pagpe 14f/148:
Temperature measurements from the drilling confirm the presence of the relatively high formation temperature. Temperature measurements from all the wells show bottom-hole temperatures during well logging ranging from 58 degrees Celsius (°C) to 65.5°C. The in-situ temperature exceeds the logged bottom-hole temperature because the bottom-hole temperature is the temperature of the drilling mud, which is not in equilibrium with the formation. Temperature is an important component of the economics of future solution mining on the property, offering advantages in solution mass-balance and savings in capital, energy, and processing costs. The solubility of potash increases with temperature such that the higher the formation temperature, the higher the yield of potassium chloride in the brine solution to be processed for potash recovery. The formation temperature is estimated to be 65°C.
