Overland Park, Kan. — Sifto Canada Corp., a subsidiary of Compass Minerals, has acquired the rights to additional property in Goderich, Ont., adjacent to the company’s Canadian salt mine, for C$2.8 million. The company says the additional land and ship berth give the company the opportunity to increase ship-loading capabilities in the future. Other initiatives at the site include an agreement with the town of Goderich and the Goderich Port Management Corp. to expand and enhance the Port of Goderich, which will provide additional rock salt storage and expanded shipping capabilities; introduction of continuous mining equipment and processes that improve productivity; and recently completed multi-phased mine expansion, which expanded annual capability from about 6.5 million mt to about 9 million mt. Compass says the company has overcome the tornado damage from last year and is coming back stronger than ever.
