The revenues actually come from taxes on exaction. Sorry about the confusion. The people I talked to still talk about Potash Corp as if it were still a crown.<BR/><BR/>I'm not an expert on mining, but as I understand it there are a number of potential deposits that are controlled by Sask Potash, both in Saskatchewan and, believe it or not, in New Brunswick. The exact price projection in the budget is $1079. You can find this in the budget "green sheet" at http://www.finance.gov.sk.ca/budget2009-10/Budget200910FinancialHighlightsGreenSheet.pdfeconomistatlargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16502077424040918432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248059609743937495.post-49107070636076286362009-03-21T14:29:00.000-04:002009-03-21T14:29:00.000-04:00Damn you Childs for making me wait for the next po...Damn you Childs for making me wait for the next post.Peter Loewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601327720649697797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2248059609743937495.post-41312354845363150652009-03-21T10:39:00.000-04:002009-03-21T10:39:00.000-04:00Are you saying they are projecting a cost of $1100...Are you saying they are projecting a cost of $1100 per tonne on potash in the next fiscal year?<BR/><BR/>I found a prospectus on solution mining and if this is any indication the government already has a projected potential yield of 110 billion short tonnes should mining go ahead in southern Saskatchewan. I would wonder what kind of investment the crown corporation holds in mining companies to put such a astronomical price on potash?<BR/><BR/>http://www.potash1.ca/i/pdf/2007-10-09_GeoSolPotashSask.pdf<BR/><BR/>Are you talking about PotashCorp as the crown corporation here? I'm not very familiar with mining in Saskatchewan and would be interested to hear more about it if you find any thing else on this subject considering Saskatchewan is the largest producer in the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
