Sirius Minerals plc is a fertilizer development company based in the United Kingdom. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 250 Index.

History

Founded in 2003, the company initially focused on exploring the potential for potash mining in North Dakota.[3] However, after abandoning attempts at overseas exploration in February 2012[3] and following approval from the North York Moors National Park Authority in June 2015,[4] the then AIM-listed company stated that it would seek financing in order to begin construction at the Woodsmith Mine in North Yorkshire.[9] It was admitted to the main market in April 2017.[5]

Operations

The Company’s stated focus is the development of its North Yorkshire polyhalite project[11] which aims to exploit the world’s largest deposit of polyhalite, a type of potash.[6] The company plans to create a mine three miles south of Whitby[7] and an underground conveyor system to transport the mineral from the mine site to a materials handling facility at Teesside, {{convert|36|km|abbr=on}} away.[8] The area of interest is located on the Yorkshire coast, mostly within the North York Moors National Park. The mineral seam lies 1,500 metres below the surface,[9] covering an area of approximately 796 square kilometers (around 271 square kilometers onshore and 535 square kilometers offshore).[10]

The company announced the material findings of the project's definitive feasibility study on 17 March 2016. In summary it proposes a framework for production capacity of 20 million tonnes per annum ("Mtpa") with initial installed capacity of 10Mtpa. This will deliver a £2.3 billion annual contribution to the UK's GDP, £2.5 billion of annual exports which represents a 7% decrease in the UK's trade deficit and 2,500 direct and indirect production jobs as well as over 2,000 jobs during construction.[11]
