BHP approves plan to build Jansen Mine
A long-gestating potash project in Saskatchewan has been given the green light by one of the largest mining companies in the world, as the company also announced it is getting out of the oil and gas business. On Tuesday, BHP announced it had approved spending $7.5 billion to begin building the mine, which was originally announced in 2010. At the time, the mine project was touted as the largest potash mine in the world and located 140 kilometres east of Saskatoon.
