West Ky | Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan is indefinitely suspending its Picadilly mine operation near Sussex, N.B.
The move is expected to result in the loss of 420 to 430 jobs.
Mark Fracchia, the president of PCS Potash and a former general manager for the New Brunswick mine, told a news conference that the decision to suspend operations at the mine was "extremely difficult."
"This is just a very sad day for all of us. Most of all to the people who have given us so many years of loyal service, for the community of Sussex, for the province generally and certainly for all of us at PotashCorp," Fracchia told reporters.
"We had high hopes for Picadilly and my heart goes out to all the people who have worked so very hard for so long in building and operating the mine."
The executive said the New Brunswick mine was the most expensive of its operations because of the geology in the province.
