Patience Lake is a lake in central Saskatchewan, Canada east of Saskatoon. The lake is located in the rural municipality of Blucher No. 343. The lake serves as a groundwater discharge region for higher elevations to the east and west.
At the south end of the lake, the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan operates a solution mine that produces 331,000 tonne of potash annually and have an approximately 50 ha region of the lake sectioned-off with an earth dyke that is used to store brine tailings and saturated KCl solution. [1] The potash mine was originally established as an underground mine, but due to flooding in 1988 it was converted to a solution mine.[2]
