Potash production resumed this week at major North American fertilizer producer Mosaic's Colonsay processing facility in Saskatchewan, Canada, after the roof collapsed last month.
Output at the facility resumed on 1 December after being previously halted on 19 November when the roof of a structure that houses its potash manufacturing process collapsed. The incident appears to be isolated, as no injuries or safety incidents related to the event took place and Mosaic's potash reserves were unaffected.
Mosaic does not anticipate an impact to overall fourth quarter sales, it said.
The Colonsay mine site has a capacity of 1.5mn metric tonnes (t) of potash annually but produced only 600,00t in 2023. More recently production at Colonsay and the nearby Esterhazy mine was disrupted during the third quarter of this year because of electrical issues that have since been handled.
