SOPerior Fertilizer Corp., Toronto, formerly Potash Ridge Corp. (GM Aug. 10, p. 30), on Oct. 16 said CEO Andrew Squires and Executive Director Bruce Duncan were appointed to the board of directors of the Canada India Economic Council (CIEC).
The mission of the CIEC is to be the premier umbrella agency to promote and support the development of economic opportunities both in Canada and India in order to strengthen bi-lateral trade relations and economic partnerships between the countries. The CIEC will be working closely with the governments of India and Canada, businesses, and investors from both countries to promote trade, public policy, business relations, investment opportunities, and commerce.
Squires noted that India has the second largest sulfate of potash (SOP) applicable crop area in the world, and membership on the board will enhance SOPerior’s ability to directly engage in discussions with India’s agricultural policy and business leaders.
SOPerior owns two SOP projects: the Blawn Mountain project in Utah, which plans to produce SOP by processing an alunite material; and the Valleyfield project in Quebec, which plans to produce SOP through the Mannheim Process.
