TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Vancouver-based Western Potash Corp. said on Monday it had won permission to move its listing from the TSX-V to the main board the following day.

The company, developing the estimated C$2.5-billion Milestone Project in Saskatchewan, hopes to start production in 2015, producing around 2.5-million tons a year of the crop nutrient.

Western Potash aims to complete a feasibility study on Milestone, located near Regina, next year.

The mine will be a solution mine, as opposed to conventional underground potash operations in the province.

Shares in Western Potash dipped 2% by 12:51 on Monday in a depressed market to trade at C$1.47 each.
