Boyd prepares to travel to Asia

Jan 13, 2011 | 12:20 PM

Minister Bill Boyd is off to a warmer climate, China and Japan, on what is being called a mineral and energy investment mission.

He will be working alongside companies like Canpotex and Cameco who are all seeking investment for their various projects.

Last time he was in Asia a second meeting on Saskatchewan's land sale for oil and natural gas drilling rights had to be hastily organized because of the high demand and interest.

It is hoped the group will raise two hundred million dollars in investment for Saskatchewan mineral projects.
