About Potash and the Jansen ProjectImagine 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,

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.

The project is expected to support approximately 5,500 jobs during construction and around 900 permanent roles once production begins.
