Saskatchewan Potash Experts

Buffalo Potash Corp. is made up of local Saskatchewan residents that have been serving the potash industry for over 75 years combined. Our local team has invented an innovative way of solution mining potash with our industry knowledge and business expertise. Adapted from ‘tight oil’ horizontal drilling used in the Saskatchewan oil patch, our technology, Horizontal Line Drive (HLD) Selective Solution Mining, is a capital-friendly and environment-friendly way of mining potash.

Our adaptation of solution mining eliminates the need for fresh water usage, which is a significant drawback of other solution mining practices. 75% of Saskatchewan’s potash resources (125 billion tonnes) can be economically mined in an eco-friendly way using our HLD Selective Solution Mining technology. We have currently partnered with two local communities, the City of Estevan and the Ocean Man First Nation, to construct two HLD mines to feed a centralized crop nutrient facility based in Estevan. At Buffalo Potash Corp, we wish to engage our local communities and Indigenous First Nations in creating sustainable economic opportunities for our potash. We want to give back to our communities by using local supplies, services, and labour.
