Cloudbreak eyes potash on Alberta/Sask border

Vancouver-Cloudbreak Resources Ltd. said June 23 that it has applied for a number of metallic mineral permits from the Department of Alberta Energy, Mineral Development Division, in the Vermillion area on the Alberta-Saskatchewan border, which will include the rights to subsurface potash totaling 774,282 acres. Cloudbreak cites a 1966 mineral assessment that says the area has geological and basinal effects closely related to the potash-rich areas of Esterhazy, Saskatoon, and Unity.
