A new multi-million dollar mine south of Moose Jaw should be up and running by this time next year.

 

Job creation and economic spin-off.

Whitemud Resources is a mining and processing company out of Calgary and they are about to begin construction on a multi-million dollar Metakaolin producing plant in Wood Mountain.

Chief Financial Chair Ron Love tells us the plat will have a huge impact on southern Saskatchewan. "We're going to create 25-26 direct jobs in our plant plus direct employee through a contract in our quarry and mine facility, all of the spin off employment for trucking and for other business around the local area, not to mention the benefit for the province of Saskatchewan in terms of tax revenues, payroll taxes so its a hugs benefit for the province of Saskatchewan."

The hope is to have the plant up and running at this time next year.
