May 31, 2015
Construction could begin next year, operational by 2020
Saskatchewan is already well known for its potash mining and now another massive, multi-billion dollar project could soon be developed north of Regina.
Chinese-based Yancoal has been exploring and studying a potential site about halfway between Southey and Strasbourg. The company recently carried on to the feasibility stage.
“It looks pretty promising,” said Strasbourg Mayor Ken Swanston.
