RE:RE:RE:Maybe Sask Selective Dissolution Not So Tricky After AllLol Black, you are hilarious.
Look at the terms of the loan. Western Resources certainly didnt hold the hammer to negotiate those terms.
Western successfully drilled 3 selective horizontal caverns and hot leached them for more than a year, upon which they planned to harvest their KCl in their ponds. They even bought a custom dredge out of the Netherlands to achieve that task.
Instead of harvesting all that potash just sitting there waiting for them to cash in on the high potash prices, they have gone back to the drawing board to try to improve the downhole dissolution science as it is rumoured there was no where near what they thought making it to the surface.
There is a reason this novel technique has not been accomplished yet in Saskatchewan, even though they have been trying since the 60's.
Will Gensource be the first? Could very well be, but you gotta drill holes to find out!
