Energy and Mines 10, 20, 30

(a)	Research how potash was historically created.
(b)	Describe how potash deposits were discovered in Saskatchewan.
(c)	Explain how the geology of the potash layers determines the type of mining used.
(d)	Outline major events in the history of potash exploration in Saskatchewan.
(e)	Explain the relationship between the large-scale geology of an area and the process of locating potash.
(f)	Explore the theory and process of exploration techniques useful in locating potential potash-bearing sub-surface formations, including gravity field measurement; magnetic field measurement; aerial surveys; and, satellite imagery.
(g)	Investigate how exploration technology and processes collect data about potash deposits.
(h)	Explain how data is used to map the specific location of a potash bed.
(i)	Describe the geological (e.g., glaciation and evaporation) and geophysical (e.g., seismology, subsurface imaging and core sampling) principles underlying the process of potash exploration.
(j)	Investigate the permits (e.g., environmental, exploration and seismic), land permissions, First Nations and Métis consultation and accommodations and duty to not disturb historic land (e.g., former settlements) that are required to explore for potash.
