Palo is a hamlet in Rosemound Rural Municipality No.378, Saskatchewan, Canada. Palo used to have a Grand Trunk Pacific Railway station, and is near Canadian National Railway's Wainwright Subdivision.[5] Palo is still home to the Palo mine facility.
The Palo Mine is owned by Nanostructured Minerals and supplies sodium sulphate with a purity of 98 to 99%. Nanostructured Minerals is 51% owned by Logician Minerals of Hong Kong while ZEOX of Canada owns 49% and operates the facility.[6] The Whitehorse Lake bed is the mineral source.
In October 2008, Otish signed an agreement with Nanostructured Minerals to acquire potash mineral rights in the Palo area.[7]
