Mineral Tenure

In 2015, the value of Saskatchewan's mineral production was approximately $8.2 billion – the second highest in Canada. Exploration expenditures in 2015 were $211 million and are forecast to reach $224 million in 2016.

Saskatchewan has two of the world’s most desired minerals – potash and uranium. The province has the largest potash industry in the world, accounting for 45% of known global reserves. The world's richest uranium deposits, located in northern Saskatchewan, account for just over 22% of the world’s primary uranium production.

The Mineral Exploration Guidelines and Exploration Administration Map provide information to assist in planning, initiating and completing a mineral exploration program that minimizes environmental impacts and meets relevant legislative requirements.

Please follow the Seismic Exploration Program Guidelines when seismic lines extend over other mineral dispositions or surface leases.
