Sirius Minerals Plc has received government approval for the harbour facilities element of its US$2.3 billion, North Yorkshire, polyhalite project and has now been granted all major approvals for the project.
The harbour facilities include the new berth, ship loading facilities and the conveyor linkage to the materials handling facility at the Wilton International site, Teeside.
From the underground mine in the North York Moors National Park, mined ore will conveyed underground for a distance of 37 km to the materials handing plant alongside the Teeside harbour, where it will be crushed, milled, pelleted and dried before being transported along covered, elevated conveyor bridges to the new harbour facilities ready for export.
The company is continuing with its plans to secure finance for the project.
