The Southeast Integrated Care Centre – Moosomin, which is receiving $530,000 in donations from PotashCorp’s Rocanville operation, marked its grand opening on October 7 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local and provincial dignitaries. “PotashCorp’s involvement in this project gave us the boost we needed to meet our fundraising objectives and complete this project,” Moosomin Mayor Larry Miskiman said prior to the ceremonies. Miskiman, who served as the project’s finance and fundraising chairperson, added: “We’re thankful for PotashCorp’s substantial contribution to the project.”When the PotashCorp Community Campaign for the health care facility was announced early this year, PotashCorp said its goal was to partner with the community to raise $500,000 for the new complex. In six months, through a variety of fundraising efforts ranging from individual and business donations to kids’ bottle drives, Moosomin and area raised $250,000, and PotashCorp committed to match it.With PotashCorp’s initial donation of $250,000 and the completion of the $500,000 Community Campaign, plus an additional $30,000 donated by the company for furnishings, PotashCorp and the community together will have raised $780,000 for the new facility once all funding is in place.“PotashCorp believes in improving the quality of life in communities where we do business,” said PotashCorp Rocanville General Manager Steve Fortney. Fortney, whose facility is located about 20 km north of Moosomin and draws employees from throughout the area, added: “Contributing funding to this wonderful new facility is a very satisfying way for us to help support the communities of southeast Saskatchewan.”The Southeast Integrated Care Centre – Moosomin is an 85-bed centre providing acute and long-term care. It also provides treatment space and offices for home care, mental health, community therapy, addictions counselling, and child and youth services. The integrated health care centre replaces Moosomin Union Hospital, Moosomin Nursing Home, and Eastern Saskatchewan Pioneer Lodge.

Additional Mine and Mill Expansions AnnouncedWith very strong demand for fertilizer continuing around the world, PotashCorp renewed its commitment to provide even more potash supply through development of an additional 2.7 million tonnes of capacity at three of its Saskatchewan facilities. The new projects will raise the company's operational capacity to 18 million tonnes by the end of 2012.At a combined cost of $1.6 billion, this capacity increase, announced in July, will be achieved through a new debottlenecking project at Allan and increases in the scope of projects announced in 2007 for Cory and Rocanville.The Allan debottlenecking will add 1 million tonnes of annual production capability and raise its annual capacity to 3 million tonnes per year. This estimated $350 million project follows a 400,000-tonne expansion completed in 2007.At Cory, the new project will add 1 million tonnes to a 1.2-million-tonne-per-year debottlenecking and expansion project initiated in 2007. The initial project is scheduled for completion in 2010, with construction and ramp-up of the new project completed by the end of 2012. The additional work has an estimated cost of $220 million and will raise the facility's annual capacity to 3 million tonnes.At Rocanville, an additional 700,000 tonnes of capacity will be incorporated into the 2-million-tonne mine and mill project announced in 2007. With an additional investment of $1 billion, the project is expected to add a total of 2.7 million tonnes at a cost of $2.8 billion, raising the facility's annual capacity to 5.7 million tonnes. Construction is scheduled for completion at the end of 2012 with ramp-up over the following two years."At PotashCorp, we have a unique capability to respond to demand because we have more mines than anyone else, giving us more opportunities to bring on idle capacity or brownfield expansions," said PotashCorp President and CEO Bill Doyle."Essentially, we are going from just over 10 million tonnes of production capacity this year to 18 million tonnes over the next six years, which is far quicker than anyone else in the world can respond."With demand for potash driven by GDP growth and rising population, it's expected that demand will accelerate. "World growth is not going away, so we believe potash demand should be strong for the foreseeable future," Doyle said.Lanigan Celebrates Grand OpeningOf the company's previously announced expansion projects, its Cdn $420 million debottlenecking and compaction expansion at Lanigan was celebrated with a grand opening in July. Company officials noted the project was completed on schedule, on budget and with the ability to meet its production obligations for the year."The mill is finished and the mine is ready to feed the plant," said Clark Bailey, Vice President, Manufacturing and Technical. "We will be able to make leaps forward as each of the two new mining machines are delivered and assembled."Parts for the first of two new mining machines are already being delivered to the plant. These parts will be moved underground where the first machine will begin being assembled immediately. The second of the two new mining machines is scheduled to begin assembly in the first quarter of 2009 after receipt of its components.While it will take several more months for Lanigan to ramp-up to final, total added capacity of 1.5 million tonnes, the project has moved along well, considering this portion of the mill sat idle since the mid-1980s.The work completed at Lanigan includes new mill structures and equipment, along with upgraded mine hoists and other underground equipment to help support the higher annual production.Lanigan is just one of several projects underway at PotashCorp sites to keep up with the world's demand for this critical crop nutrient. The company is making large capital investments to return long-idled capacity to production and to expand operations.Patience Lake Moves AheadIn 2007, the company also announced that its Patience Lake project, which is expected to bring back 360,000 tonnes of previously idled potash capacity, was on budget and ahead of schedule. The estimated cost of the project is Cdn $106 million and is expected to be completed late 2008/early 2009. Nine new injection wells will come into production in fall of 2008, ahead of schedule, while another eight wells are scheduled to come on stream in 2009. In total PotashCorp increased the number of new injection wells to 22, greatly expanding the solution-mining base.Patience Lake was a conventional potash mine before flooding made it unworkable. It was converted to a solution mine in 1988. Today, potash in Patience Lake is mined by injecting heated brine into the underground mine workings. The heated brine dissolves potash from the walls and pillars of the mine, and the resulting brine, now rich with potash, is pumped back up to surface and piped to a cooling pond. As the brine cools, potash crystallizes, separating from the sodium chloride salt and settles to the bottom of the pond, where it is removed with floating dredges and pumped to the mill.Cory Fast-Tracking and Meeting ObjectivesThe Cory expansion, initiated in 2007, is also moving along well. For a project of its size and complexity, it is a relatively "fast-track" project that involves building a complete new wet mill and compaction circuit for a new red potash product. Cory currently makes all white potash products.The plant's current production capacity is 800,000 tonnes per year. The initial 2007 project would increase the production total at Cory to 2 million tonnes per year. The 2007-initiated Cory project is scheduled to be ready to begin commissioning by the end of the second quarter of 2010. The final capacity of 3 million tonnes per year (an additional 1 million tonnes increase announced in July 2008) will be realized over the next two years in steps. The project is currently on budget and on schedule to obtain these goals.There is no difference in the agronomic value of red and white granular Muriate of Potash (MOP), according to the International Plant Nutrition Institute. The difference in color between the two is due to minor amounts of iron in the red material. Whether red or white, MOP is an excellent source of, not just one, but two nutrients essential for crop growth and health – potassium and chloride."The worldwide need for potash shows no sign of abating any time soon, and projected annual growth of 3 percent to 4 percent is predicted for the rest of this decade," said Stephen Dowdle, Senior Vice President, Fertilizer Sales."Projected growth of 4 percent translates to about 2.2 million tonnes of additional production needed every year. With almost a quarter of the world's potash capacity and plans for growth, PotashCorp is called upon to meet that demand."All of these expansion projects, combined, will raise PotashCorp's operating capacity to 18 million tonnes by the end of 2012, allowing the company to meet demand for fertilizer from the United States and the rapidly growing economies in Asia and Brazil.

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) today announced plans to add 2.7 million tonnes of potash capacity at three of its Saskatchewan facilities. This capacity will be achieved through a new debottlenecking project at Allan and increases in the scope of projects announced in 2007 for Cory and Rocanville. Work on all three projects will be initiated immediately. These projects carry a combined cost of US $1.6 billion and will raise PotashCorp's operational capacity to 18 million tonnes by the end of 2012. The cost is approximately 60 percent less than that estimated for comparable greenfield capacity, and the projects will make the additional production available much more quickly than a new mine could be developed.

PotashCorp Rocanville has announced a $500,000 commitment to support the Moosomin and District Integrated Health Care Facility project.In a presentation made at a Moosomin Community Hall luncheon on February 11, 2008, PotashCorp Rocanville General Manager Steve Fortney presented a $250,000 check, and announced the new PotashCorp Community Campaign, a matching gift campaign to further support the project. Through this matching gift campaign, PotashCorp will match donations from the community, up to $250,000. This means the Moosomin and District Integrated Health Care Facility may receive up to $750,000 by the end of this year."The matching gift campaign is a powerful way to partner with our community," said Steve Fortney. "We hope everyone will join us to help raise money for the Moosomin and District Integrated Health Care Facility."To find out more, listen to the media conference.

Events surrounding an August house fire in Lanigan underscore the fact that the annual PotashCorp Fire Fighters' Rodeo is more than just fun and friendly competition.The 2007 rodeo, held Sept. 15 in Lanigan and won by PotashCorp's Allan Division, occurred less than a month after volunteer firefighters from PCS Lanigan assisted their counterparts from the Town of Lanigan in extinguishing a house fire in town.Barry Hooper, chief of the town's volunteer fire department, says a shortage of personnel to fight the mid-afternoon fire resulted in a group of mine fire fighters coming out to help – the town and mine units share some members. Hooper said events like the rodeo help ensure smooth and effective co-operation at real fires."The rodeo is a competition," the chief said before the annual event. "But it's a lot of good training together, too. And it's been going on for years."The fire was extinguished without further incident.This year, the team from Allan placed first in the Search & Rescue event, second in the Fire Extinguishment and Challenge Relay events, and third in the Burst Hose and Water Soccer events. That was enough to claim the title of overall winner of the 2007 PotashCorp Fire Fighters' Rodeo.Cory Division's team won the overall runner-up position at the annual competition, which included teams from various PotashCorp mines as well as from volunteer fire departments in communities surrounding them.The individual events and the first-, second- and third-place winners are as follows:FIRST AID:     Lanigan Division, Lanigan Town, Cory DivisionSEARCH & RESCUE:     Allan Division, Lanigan Division, City of HumboldtBURST HOSE:     Cory Division, Lanigan Town, Allan DivisionFIRE EXTINGUISHMENT:     Rocanville Town, Allan Division, Cory DivisionCHALLENGE RELAY:     Cory Division, Allan Division, Lanigan TownWATER SOCCER:     Rocanville Town, City of Humboldt, Allan Division
