The Woodsmith project is the development of a new mine to extract polyhalite; a low-carbon, multinutrient fertilizer product which is expected to support more effective, efficient and sustainable farming.
The project is likely to include two deep shafts and an underground mineral transport system, where a 37 km conveyor belt will transport ore for processing and export at a dedicated material handling and port facility. The operations will be integrated and automated from mine to port, to support safety, efficiency and flexibility.
Project services will be executed by Worley’s UK offices, with support from a number of Worley’s global Centres of Excellence (CoE).
“With the breadth and depth of our global mining experience, we’re well positioned to support the Woodsmith project, strengthening our partnership with Anglo American,” said Chris Ashton, Chief Executive Officer of Worley.
