MagMinerals has exclusive rights to one of the largest carnallite deposits in the world, in the Republic of Congo, with potash production expected to commence in Q1 2011. “TriNorth is currently evaluating several early stage investments in the fertilizer space,” said Ravi Sood, president of Lawrence Asset Management Inc., the manager of TriNorth. “We expect the fundamentals for fertilizers and potash in particular to remain compelling for some time.
