In this interview, we sit down with Pat Varas, CEO of Sage Potash Corp. (TSXV: SAGE), to discuss America’s need for domestic potash supply and whether Washington is doing enough to support new production.
Pat explains Sage’s Peterson 1 drill results, including a combined Cycle 18 interval of approximately 13.1 metres grading 36% KCl, with 3.3 metres grading 52.5% KCl. He also discusses the strong continuity between the Peterson 1 and Johnson 1 wells, drilled approximately one kilometre apart.
We discuss why potash deposits differ from gold, silver, and copper projects, why they require fewer drill holes, and why each deep oil-rig hole can cost more than $4 million. Pat also outlines Sage’s next steps, including a larger 43-101 resource estimate, financing, mining-method testing, and a pre-feasibility study targeted for the first half of 2027.
