BHP set to build Jansen potash mine

摘要

Mining giant BHP Billiton (BHP-N) is set to become a major global player in potash, after recently announcing it could bring its huge Jansen potash project into production by 2015. The 7,338-sq.-km Jansen project, 140 km east of Saskatoon, Sask., and adjacent to Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan's (pot-t, pot-n) Lani-gan potash mine, will be the first new potash mine in that province in almost 40 years.
