NYSE-listed Fluor Corporation has been selected to perform feasibility study services for Anglo American’s Woodsmith mining project in North Yorkshire, England. Fluor will recognize the undisclosed contract value in the second quarter of 2026.
Woodsmith is a large-scale underground mine that has access to the largest known polyhalite fertilizer deposit in the world. The mine will extract the low‑carbon fertilizer via deep shafts and a 37 kilometer (23 mile) underground conveyor tunnel to Anglo American’s materials handling facility in Teesside for processing.
“The Woodsmith project has the potential to create a long‑term, stable and sustainable naturally occurring source of critical fertilizers for global markets,” said Harish Jammula, President of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business. “This award reflects our team’s deep technical expertise and our commitment to executing complex projects safely, responsibly and with excellence. We look forward to partnering closely with Anglo American as it advances towards completion of the Woodsmith Project.”
Construction for tunnelling and shaft sinking is currently underway. When fully operational, the mine is expected to produce 13 million tonnes per year of polyhalite fertilizer.
