Anglo American is a FTSE 100 global mining company currently developing the Woodsmith Project in North Yorkshire and Teesside to mine and export polyhalite – a game-changing low carbon natural mineral fertiliser.
This is a multi-billion-pound investment that will drive growth and exports, create high value jobs and make the UK a global leader in fertiliser production and sustainable agriculture.
Setting a new benchmark for sustainable mine design, Woodsmith benefits from a c.2billion tonne multi-decade resource of polyhalite.
Over 2,000 global trials and research projects have proven polyhalite’s efficacy and demonstrated its commercial applicability. These have shown that polyhalite increases crop yields by an average of 3-5% over standard practices and supports soil health.
Woodsmith will have an impact on a national scale, adding £1.5bn per year to UK GDP and turning the UK into the world's fifth largest fertiliser producing company.
The majority of polyhalite products will be exported, with distribution agreements already in place with major global agribusinesses for key markets including Europe, North and South America, China, India and South-East Asia.
Woodsmith will also serve the UK market, increasing food security and productivity in the food and farming sector and securing a supply of essential crop nutrients.
