About Potash and the Jansen Project

Imagine being part of something truly world-class, something that´s shaping the future of sustainable agriculture and responsible resource development. That´s what the Jansen Potash Project offers. Located about 140 kilometers east of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Jansen is set to become one of the largest and most sustainable potash mines in the world. At approximately US$15.3 billion investment, it marks the biggest private investment in Saskatchewan’s history, and a bold step forward for BHP in Canada. Beyond its scale, Jansen will create lasting value for people and communities. The project is expected to support approximately 5,500 jobs during construction and around 900 permanent roles once production begins.
