The Milestone project
The Milestone Potash Phase 1 project is transitioning from the construction phase to the commissioning phase, with the operations team having begun preparation for start-up and operations.
Western Potash owns the project, which is located near Regina in Saskatchewan.
Further, the company announced the appointment of Jamie Janotta as operations director. Janotta, who worked at Mosaic Potash’s Belle Plaine mine for 30 years, has been actively involved in consulting for many other potash projects in the areas of processing and commissioning.
“We are very fortunate to have Mr. Janotta join our team. The Milestone project will greatly benefit from Mr. Janotta’s extensive experience which he accumulated over decades of service in potash processing and commissioning,” said CEO and president Bill Xue.
He also encouraged people with a keen interest in innovation and potash solution mining to consider joining Western’s team to help advance the Milestone Phase 1 to next steps.
“I look forward to witnessing the project move foward into production.”
Milestone Phase 1 will produce 146 000 t/y over 12 years.
