Jansen potash project

Located in Saskatchewan, Canada, production at Jansen is expected to begin in mid-CY2027. Once fully ramped up, Jansen will become one of the world's largest potash mines, producing approximately 8.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa).

Potash is an essential resource

The Jansen mine will produce potash

As the world’s population rises, access to arable land decreases and diets improve, potash is expected to be in increasing demand for more sustainable farming. BHP is well positioned to become one of the leading potash producers in the world.

About Jansen

Our CAD$21.8bn (US$15.3bn) investment in the wholly-owned Jansen project will deliver a potash mine in Saskatchewan that is expected to be a world‑class asset with operating costs at the low end of the cost curve when fully ramped up. Jansen is located approximately 140 kilometers east of Saskatoon. Potash is a new commodity for BHP and Jansen is key to our long-term growth ambitions.
