Also, the Mosaic Company announced that it is planning to resume operations at the Colonsay mine in the first half of 2023 and overall increase its production levels by 1.5 million tonnes KCl. K+S Potash Canada plans to nearly double production at its Bethune mine by 2040 and has commenced hiring to carry out these operations. BHP is looking to accelerate its $12 billion Jansen project and is conducting studies for Stage 2 that would add an additional four-million tonnes KCl of capacity.

Saskatchewan’s world-leading resource companies play a crucial role in supporting food and energy security around the globe. It is both a tradition we are proud of and a future full of possibilities.
