Alumina Boom in Saskatchewan | Calgary News

A massive alumina deposit near Tisdale, Saskatchewan could revolutionize North America’s aluminum supply—Canadian Energy Metals aims to build a demo plant by 2029, potentially controlling a third of the world’s known alumina. With over 169 drill sites explored and a pre-feasibility study expected in Q1 2027, the company’s eco-friendly extraction method—using recycled acids and no water—could slash environmental impact. Already producing high-purity alumina in pilot plants, they’re targeting full metal production next. Bonus: rare earths like lithium and vanadium lurk in the shale too. Local landowners see economic hope, while investors and communities await more details. Six First Nations are partnering on development, with hundreds of jobs on the horizon—even if it’s still a decade away.
