CaCeRMDIs Presentation on CaCeRMDI s Presentation on Two Saskatchewan s Raw Two Saskatchewan s Raw Materials Materials- -Potash and Uranium Potash and Uranium Presented by: Leo Ekhaguere President, CaCeRMDI
Table of Content 1. Definition of Raw Materials 2. Types of Raw Materials 3. Mineral-Based Raw Materials 4. Facts about Potash and Uranium in Saskatchewan 5. Agricultural-Based Raw Materials 6.. Fossil Fuels
What are What are Raw Raw Materials? Materials?
Raw materials coined from Raw and Materials Raw- Unprocessed (In its natural state or form) Materials- Resource or Substance Cotton, Minerals Ores, latex, Wood, Crude Useful Substance Processing CACERMDI S DEFINITION: A Raw material is any unprocessednatural resource orsubstancemodified to produce another resource or substance.
Mineral-Based Raw Materials Types of Raw Materials Agro-allied or Agricultural Raw- Materials Fossil Fuels
Mineral Mineral- -Based Raw Based Raw Materials Materials Naturally Occurring Homogenous Definite Chemical Composition Formed Inorganically
Facts about Potash and Uranium in Saskatchewan Facts about Potash and Uranium in Saskatchewan Saskatchewan has two of the most desirable minerals in the world- Potash and Uranium The Worlds Largest high grade Uranium deposits are located in Northern Saskatchewan- McArthur River Uranium Mine
Saskatchewan is the worlds leading supplier of Uranium. 90% is exported; 10% used in fueling nuclear reactors in Canada. Saskatchewan s Uranium is responsible for powering approximately 1 in 20 homes in the US. There is also significant unrealized potential for volcanogenic and sediment-hosted base metal deposits in supracrustal rocks of Precambrian Shield of northern Saskatchewan
Distribution of Uranium exports worldwide in 2022 70% 59.10% 60% 50% 40% Share of Exports(%) 29.50% 30% 20% 10% 7.90% 2.40% 0.70% 0.40% 0.04% 0.02% 0.01% 0% Source: Satistica.com
There are areas with high gold potential that remains under- explored. Other mineral based resources produced in Saskatchewan are Salt and Kaolin, Sodium and Potassium Sulphates, and potentials of Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Cobalt, Rare earth and Platinum group elements. Saskatchewan has the largest potash industry in the world, accounting for about one-third of global annual production.
Agricultural Agricultural Raw Raw- -Materials Materials Crops grown Animals reared For provision of food, wool and other products
Saskatchewan is the worlds largest exporter of lentils, peas, durum wheat, mustard seed, canola, flaxseed and oats. Saskatchewan is the second largest cattle- producing province in Canada
Fossil Fossil Fuels Fuels Raw materials from: Decomposing plants Decomposing plants Decomposing Animals Decomposing Animals E.g. Coal, Crude Oil, E.g. Coal, Crude Oil, Natural gas Natural gas
Saskatchewan is the second-largest oil producer in Canada and the sixth- largest onshore producer in Canada and the United States. Saskatchewan is the third largest Natural gas producer in Canada
Saskatchewan has an estimated oil reserve of almost 1.2 billion barrels. Saskatchewan s expertise in clean coal technologies is an example of how the province is committed to greening up its conventional energy resources..
From the bottom of the mine to the top of the silo, nutrien is continuously committed to feeding the future safely and with integrity each day, leading the agriculture industry in innovation and bold new thinking because the future needs food
Conclusion Conclusion CaCeRMDI is committed to educating the general public on raw materials. We are focused on Potash and Uranium for this conference edition, but we have only Potash to display which was given to us at no cost by Nutrien- The largest producer of Potash and third producer of Nitrogen. We exhibit the samples for Educational purposes, Investment Purpose, and Posterity Purpose
