Tuxford Project
Upcycle Minerals future SOP facility will be located on the Tuxford Potash permit (SMP 263). The permit consists of 10,565 acres of crown mineral rights and has a total area of 26,793 acres including freeheld mineral rights. The permit is located approximately 18 km north of Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and borders the village of Tuxford on the western edge and Buffalo Pound Lake on its north/east boundary. The permit also borders the K+S Bethune and Mosaic Belle Plaine solution mining properties.
Provincial Highway 2 and the CP Outlook rail line lie on the western permit edge and the permit is bisected by the Eyebrow Lake- Tuxford Natural Gas Pipeline. An ammonia producing plant is approximately 30 km south-east.
Upcycle intends to produce brine as feedstock for its process using traditional solution mining techniques employed at other Potash operations in Saskatchewan.
Alkali Lakes - Sodium Sulfate
Upcycle owns five mineral leases on two sodium sulfate deposits totalling 5567 acres. Both deposits are located approximately 25 km west of Biggar SK, and ~250 km from the Tuxford mineral permit.
The Whiteshore Lake Deposit has had historic production with the Palo Mine and a non NI 43-101 historical mineral resource estimate of 5-6 million tons of Sodium Sulfate.
Upcycle intends to use the solar-powered "Brining" extraction method previously employed at Alkali deposits in Saskatchewan, including Whiteshore Lake.
Whiteshore Lake is adjacent to Provincial Highway 14, CN Rail Watrous line, and near the CPKC Wilke Rail line.
The Lydden-Eins Lake deposit has been previously explored by Tombill Mines Ltd. in 1965 where the deposit was drilled and mapped.
Lydden Lake is bisected by Provincial Highway 51
