Saskatchewan Industry and Resources Minister Maynard Sonntag was on Capital Hill in Washington yesterday, promoting the province's energy opportunities.

     The event is part of a four-day mission to promote Saskatchewan's leadership in oil and gas, uranium, and energy research.

     The minister says there is a great deal of interest in the northern oilsands, carbon sequestration and the quantity of uranium we have available. 

     Sonntag will deliver a presentation to approximately 50 senior policy advisors and energy analysts at the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies.  And tomorrow, he will promote investment in Saskatchewan energy at a seminar attended by about 40 banking and investment firm executives.
