Vice President - Projects PotashBhp Jan 2021 - Oct 2021Saskatchewan, Canada- Leading the Jansen Potash project organisation through construction and commissioning, and continuing the investment feasibility study for the processing, logistics and outflow network of the Jansen shaft project.Jansen Potash Project:BHP holds exploration permits and mining leases covering approximately 9,600 square kilometres in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. BHP currently owns 100 per cent of this Project. Jansen’s large resource endowment provides the opportunity to develop it in stages, with anticipated initial capacity of 4 Mtpa.Potash is a potassium-rich salt mainly used in fertiliser to improve the quality and yield of agricultural production. As an essential nutrient for plant growth, potash is a vital link in the global food supply chain. The demands on that supply chain are intensifying; there will be more people to feed in future, as well as rising calorific intake comprising more varied diets. The strains this will place on finite land supply mean sustainable increases in crop yields will be crucial and potash fertilisers will be critical in replenishing our soils. -
