It will get into product given that the powers that be want to stop any import of fertilizer from Russia.

Key updates (2026)

1. Mitsubishi has invested in the project
In February 2026, Mitsubishi Corporation entered an investment agreement with Anglo American to support Woodsmith's continued development. The partnership includes funding for feasibility work and efforts to build demand for the mine's POLY4 fertilizer product.

2. A major feasibility study is underway
In May 2026, Fluor Corporation was awarded a contract to carry out feasibility study services for the project. This study is expected to be a critical step toward a future final investment decision (FID).

3. Planning changes are receiving local support
Local councillors have backed Anglo American's proposals to remove annual production limits and redesign parts of the mine's ventilation infrastructure. The proposals still require regulatory approval, but the local response has been supportive.

4. Employment levels have largely been maintained
Despite the project's slowdown announced in 2024, Anglo American says the workforce of around 1,000 people will be maintained over the next few years. The company has indicated that construction activity could ramp up again from around 2027–2028 if development milestones are met.

What happens next?

The current roadmap appears to be:

Stage Expected timing
Feasibility study 2026–2027/28
Final investment decision Around 2028
First production Early 2030s (often cited around 2032)
Full-scale output After initial production ramp-up

These dates remain subject to financing, market demand for polyhalite fertilizer, and Anglo American's broader capital allocation decisions.

Bottom line

The project is no longer simply being kept on "care and maintenance." New funding from Mitsubishi, a fresh feasibility study, and planning changes indicate that Anglo American is actively trying to advance Woodsmith toward a full investment decision. However, it remains a long-term project rather than one close to production, with the most important milestone now being the completion of the feasibility study and a likely investment decision around 2028.

I think that it was mothballed back in 2024:

Any update here on the polynonsense? Are we winning?

The money was made by shorting it at the end, or near end.

[skinny] 26/9/2025 09:39:52

Not my best, ahem, investment - although they were fleetingly my largest holding 🙄

[11_percent] 26/9/2025 09:38:05

Building this in a National Park was always a bad idea.

[kreature] 26/9/2025 09:29:49

Truth is that it is a train line paid for my mugs under the guise of it being a mine. It connects the new South Tees Dev Project to Whitby and a campsite and a fishing lake. Also helps connect an otherwise isolated community

That is my opinion as always

[kreature] 26/9/2025 08:25:24

Nails it 49 minutes in

[kreature] 09/8/2025 08:49:34

Strange, I seem have misplaced my holding. Only another 7km or 20% of tunnel to go to complete the underground joyride to Teeside ? One station looks near complete at the campsite ? The other station at the fishing lake also probably nearly complete ?

And the final station at Teeside seen here


The transport tunnel for salty rocks exiting here next to Tesco. Well I believe them, hence my massive investment in SXX.

Then i would go check your portfolio......SXX shares not doing too well.

[kreature] 07/8/2025 23:35:43

How’s it looking here ? Are we winning? Not had a minute to check my portfolio

Guys....you farting against thunder.

It has not been a happy tale but there may still be hope...

Any followers of Sirius will be interested in a talk at the Mello Investor event in Derby where Gavin Palmer will be presenting a session on Tuesday called 'Lets get Sirius' and his crusade to get justice in the courts and change legislation.

It is short notice but if anyone would like a free ticket for the event just use the code 1920M10

This where we are now.

Half wondering if it will end up as a storage dump for the energy industry? Why go to so much trouble for a fertiliser that doesn’t contain all of the NPK of fertliser?

[kreature] 30/12/2023 03:24:09

Latest presentation shows the a tunnel passing directly underneath the old RAF base at Danby. Why wouldn’t you have an intermediary access/ventilation shaft at that tourist spot? Oddness. Great that there is access from the LadyCross campsite, and at the Lockwood Beck lake tho

[kreature] 27/12/2023 07:59:47

Around 10km left to complete the Northern line ? Have platforms been installed ? Wonder if Elon or Virgin would buy it ?

[npk2] 24/11/2023 19:47:29

I expected no other outcome.

[original fastjet] 23/11/2023 20:53:18

Sharesoc halt any further investigation into Sxx sale to AA.
That's the end of that then.
Big boys walk away scott free.
Whatever happened to cf??
Prob sitting in the Caribbean by his private pool 🤔🤔

The British Government refused to guarantee on loans to complete this project consequently the project was sold off to foreigners..
