BHP Group flagged on Friday a delay and a cost overrun of up to $1.7 billion at its key Jansen potash project in Canada, while the world's largest listed miner logged record copper and iron ore output in fiscal 2025.

The world’s biggest miner by market value flagged rising costs and delays at a giant potash project in Canada and said it may sell its Australian nickel operations.

BHP has worked for over a decade to enter the potash market, citing similarities in scale and costs to its iron ore business that has delivered the majority of its revenue for decades.
