Also known as muriate of potash, KCl, and MOP.
chemXplore tracks 3 projects producing potassium chloride, of which 2 are active.
Of the active ones, 1 new construction and 1 expansion.
Two-year field construction for the compaction building and associated power distribution to support a ramp-up to about 4 Mtpa by around 2040; includes structural, mechanical, electrical and control works.
Multi-decade plan to reach 4.0 Mtpa with new mining, processing, compaction, rail and utilities; environmental studies and Indigenous/community engagement ongoing; compaction construction advancing.
Craig makes safety his first priority after two recent site fatalities, flags FY2026 results (US$33bn EBITDA; US$13bn profit), confirms Jansen first production mid next year and 3–4% CAGR to 2035.
Two fatalities at operations; copper output fell amid planned grade declines, maintenance and weather; Jansen Stage 1 is 87% complete and on track for mid‑2027 start; copper prices ~50% higher YoY.
Recognition for safety performance on a cogeneration build whose scope included construction, commissioning and startup; units will supply steam and power for future production.
BYPHAR offers three-tier raw materials (Explore/Enhance/Excel) with GMP/regulatory-ready documentation; co-branded suppliers and global supply, supporting development to commercial manufacturing.
Preferred partners appointed for Compaction expansion and Cooling Pond Pumphouse to support Bethune capacity growth toward 4 Mt/y.
Bethune mine hit shipment and production records, signed a 30‑year Indigenous‑owned solar PPA, and plans CAD 2.5–3B Ramp‑Up to 2040 to boost output while reducing resource intensity.
Utility will purchase up to 62 MW from a near-mine CHP expansion, supplying baseload power from late 2026 through 2034; CHP adds three gas turbines and HRSGs.
Elkem halts production at Rana and Salten due to market challenges, high inventory, and power costs, potentially leading to temporary layoffs.
