Woodsmith Mine
Woodsmith Mine is a deep potash and polyhalite mine located near to the hamlet of Sneatonthorpe, Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. The venture was started by York Potash Ltd, which became a subsidiary of Sirius Minerals plc whose primary focus is the development of the polyhalite project.

The project is expected to generate over £100 billion for the UK economy over a period of 50 years. Once it is functioning it will be the deepest min ...
