Positioned for growth
Jansen’s large resource endowment provides the opportunity to develop it in stages, with the potential for Jansen to produce 16 to 17 million tonnes of potash a year.
Addressing global demand
We estimate the demand for potash could substantially increase over the coming decades to meet the world population's needs in a land-scarce, nutrient-depleted world.
Opportunity to expand
We have proudly had a presence in Saskatchewan for over a decade and hold potash exploration permits across the province covering approximately 9,400km2.
