BHP had previously said it expected to make a decision by mid year on whether to proceed with the project in Canada’s Saskatchewan province, which is estimated to cost up to US$5.7 billion in its first phase.
“We are considering two options in terms of the port. One is a commercial option at the port of Vancouver, one is a greenfield option,” Ragnar Udd, President of BHP’s Minerals America said on Thursday.
“We would like to have those locked in before we take them to the board,” he said.
“We continue to expect that this (decision) will occur in the next, coming few months.”
Development of the project is expected to take five years and have a capacity to produce around 4.4 million tpy of potash with an estimated mine life of 100 years. It will have capacity for an additional 12 million t in stages thereafter.
