It is present in southern Saskatchewan and the Cypress Hills of southeastern Alberta. The formation was defined by G.M. Furnival in 1942 [2] from observations of outcrops along the Frenchman River, between Ravenscrag and Highway 37. It contains the youngest of dinosaur genera, much like the Hell Creek Formation in the United States.

Reserves suitable for underground and solution mining have been estimated at 14 billion tonnes (15 billion short tons) and more than 42 billion tonnes (46 billion short tons), respectively. As of 2003, there were 2 solution mines and 8 conventional mines operating in Saskatchewan. [7] Salt is produced primarily as a byproduct of potash mining ...
