Dakota Salts LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sirius Exploration Plc and is incorporated in Colorado, USA. Based in Denver, Dakota Salts holds mineral leases in excess of 5,000 acres in North Dakota, USA, allowing for the exploration and extraction of salt and potash and the creation of caverns for the storage of natural gas and other hydrocarbons or the storage of compressed air for electricity generation.

North Dakota is the base of one of the largest wind farm, electricity generation projects in North America with capital investment expected to exceed $4 billion. President Obama has stated his commitment not only to renewable energy but also to connecting these wind farms into the grid to supply Chicago with power. Wind power is one of the most environmentally friendly sources of power but does not provide a consistent output since power is only generated when wind is blowing. This can lead to complex power management issues. These can be potentially resolved by storing compressed air in underground storage caverns and then releasing it when required to power turbines to generate electricity when it is needed. Dakota Salts and the Sirius Exploration group of companies are committed to identifying innovative new ways to commercialize its properties concurrently or after the mining activity has been concluded that help reduce carbon emissions.


Based on the analysis of historic data, the Dakota Salts properties overlie:

Known Exploration Targets:

* Typically over 165 meters of salt thickness

* In excess of 10 meters of potash

* 2,450 meters to 2,750 meters deep for solution mining



And, based on calculations drawn from historic preliminary core tests, suggest initial volumetric calculations of:

* 6 to 10.7 meters thick of potash deposit

* 18 to 25 % grade sylvite

* 2.1 to 5.2 million metric tons per square kilometre

* 5.5 to 13.4 million metric tons per square mile
