- Universal Potash Corp. (UPCO) operates as a natural resource exploration and development company focused on potash and uranium properties in the United States and Canada. The company researches, negotiates and acquires highly prospective mineral properties, including potash lease applications and exploration permits; enters into joint venture agreements for development at minimal cash cost; and targets potash deposits in the Paradox Basin near Moab, Utah, covering approximately 29,000 acres with an exploration permit for 3,880 acres and leases for 25,120 acres in Known Potash Leasing Areas adjacent to Intrepid Potash's Cane Creek Mine operations. Its principal asset includes the Ernestina Potash project spanning 201,216 hectares in Alberta, Canada, alongside historical interests in standard and granular potash products for fertilizer, livestock feed supplements and industrial applications such as soaps and computer monitors. Founded in 2001 and formerly known as Utah Uranium Corp. until its name change on July 31, 2008, Universal Potash maintains headquarters at 2251 Wigwam Parkway, Henderson, Nevada, with prior references to Fox Island, Washington, and conducts operations primarily in the United States. No major recent partnerships, funding rounds, acquisitions or product launches have been reported in the last one to two years, reflecting its status as an exploration-stage entity with emphasis on property acquisition and joint venture strategies.
