Featured News: Black Earth Continues Growth with Sheerness Humalite
Oct 2026
We are proud to share a recent media spotlight from Drumheller Online highlighting Black Earth’s operations and land reclamation efforts south of Hanna at the Sheerness site.
In the feature and radio interview, Black Earth engineer Clay Williams details how our high-purity Humalite reserve is being developed to build long-term soil organic matter, improve moisture retention, and lock in nutrients for challenging agricultural soils across North America.
Key Discussion Highlights:
Distinct Mineral Identity: Unlike coal, Humalite is rich in active humic substances designed specifically for soil building and reclamation.
Salinity & Compaction Relief: Humalite binds sodium in heavy clay and solonetzic soils, freeing up moisture and essential nutrients for crops.
Local Economic Impact: Reclaiming former coal lands while maintaining active production supports continuous local employment in the region.
