A Saskatchewan First Nation has accused U.S. miner Mosaic Co. of extracting \u0027billions of dollars\u0027 worth of potash from its land. Read more.
A Mosaic spokesperson denied the allegations and said the company had included 109 bids from the Kahkewistahaw’s steel fabrication facility. “They responded to three and after working closely with them, we did award them work in 2022 in the hopes that this would lead to a … long-lasting relationship,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, Mosaic’s vice president of public affairs.Article content
But Taypotat said that the miner had been extracting billions of dollars for decades “from our land without giving us nothing more than a few free football tickets and little miner donations to our recreation fund a few years back.” Florida-based Mosaic is one of the world’s leading producers of potash crop nutrients, primarily used in fertilizers to increase crop yield. The company’s North American potash operations in Saskatchewan and New Mexico are responsible for about 34 per cent of its annual production.Fedorchuk said that Mosaic will pay about $1.
“As far as our other Indigenous engagement efforts go, we have made significant progress on all of our key pillars,” the Mosaic vice president added. But Taypotat said the company has failed to live up to the “very basic” Indigenous rights engagement. He said that the First Nation was a co-owner of the resource by law and that Mosaic has a “moral and legal responsibility” to share the benefits.
