BHP Billiton Ltd., the world’s biggest mining company, submitted an environmental impact statement on its planned Jansen potash project in Canada and estimated the mine may operate for about 70 years.
The project is being designed to produce 8 million metric tons of potash a year at full capacity, Melbourne-based BHP said today in an e-mailed statement. The study was delivered to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment and is expected to be released for public comment in the first half of 2011, it said.
