The Muskowekan First Nation and Encanto Potash say they have hired a consulting, design and construction services company to prepare two environmental studies as part of a new potash mine in the province.

Golder Associates will conduct a water study to determine the most appropriate and viable water supply. “Golder has completed numerous environmental studies and work in Saskatchewan and around the world and is very respected in their field by both their peer group and government agencies,” said Chief Operating Officer Richard Lively.

The second study will define the Environmental Impacts. The studies are expected to be completed during the summer months.
