The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that the $18-billion Jansen potash mine marks the biggest investment in the history of Saskatchewan and in the history of BHP Group. The Globe's Kate Helmore writes that BHP is digging into the Prairie Evaporite Formation -- the remains of an ancient inland sea -- to extract the pink salt essential to global food production. Jansen potash will travel on 2,000 kilometres of rail to a port in British Columbia and then supply 10 per cent of the world's demand by 2031. BHP chief Mike Henry says: "Jansen is the best undeveloped, now being developed resource out there. And it's going to be positioned very well in the markets over the decades to come." A mining project of Jansen's magnitude is a rare case across the country, as Canada's reputation for cumbersome, costly regulatory approvals eclipses the nearly unparalleled natural resources hiding beneath her soil. Prime Minister Mark Carney is trying to change this reputation and lure global investment, promising Canada is worth the wager and betting our fat deposits of critical resources will not only enrich citizens and the companies who take the leap, but also diversify global supplies of critical minerals.
