Potash mining group Sirius Minerals has acquired a further 1,425 net mineral acres of lease areas next to existing properties in North Dakota via its Dakota Salts subsidiary.

The company now controls about 7,425 net mineral acres overlying the Williston Basin, with an overall land position of around 18,500 gross mineral acres in North Dakota.

Chairman Chris Catlow said, 'Sirius holds a substantial data bank on the geology of the Williston Basin and the potash/salt deposits within it. The information has been fully analysed by the company and its partners; this has allowed us to identify target locations.

'We are now acquiring land accordingly and will continue to work closely with the state and our partners in North Dakota to enable Sirius to expand its operational presence in the region, Dakota Salts having recently been granted the first potash specific drill permit in the state for 30 years.'

Im guess specultaion about this from the recent RNS.

"We are pleased with the strong progress being made in North Dakota both in terms of our continuing land acquisition programme and our initial drilling activity. Coring of the Prairie Evaporate Formation at our first location is on schedule and expected to be completed within 18 days. The core samples will then be sent off for extensive laboratory tests."

Potash mining group Sirius Minerals plc posted a pre-tax loss of £1.0m for the six months to September, up from £0.66m, on the back of an increase in administrative expenses.

During the period, the balance sheet was strengthened with an equity injection of £3m. Cash at September 30 stood at £3.1m.

The company changed its name from Sirius Exploration to reflect a change in strategy.

Chairman Chris Catlow said that progress made by the company coincided with a time when the broader markets 'have begun to better understand the long-term global potash demand/supply issues and the opportunities this creates for Sirius to become a major potash powerhouse within that environment'.

Drilling began on November 9. The company had no revenue in the period.
