• 🌍 The United Kingdom's natural resources reserves have received a significant boost with the discovery of a valuable, unknown mineral called polyhalite.

• 💰 This mineral is predicted to add $130 billion to the country's economy over the next 50 years and has the potential to address the depleting natural resources and weakening exports.

• 🔍 The Woodsmith mine, where polyhalite is being extracted, is almost invisible and located 50 meters or more below ground, hidden behind large farming barns.

• 🌱 Polyhalite is a high-quality, organic fertilizer that contains potassium, sulfur, magnesium, calcium, and micronutrients, making it an ideal solution for crop nutrition problems.

• ⛏️ The construction of the Woodsmith mine involved impressive engineering marvels, including a service shaft, diaphragm walls, a winding tower, and a 37-kilometer-long transport tunnel.

• 🚆 The mineral is transported from the mine to the Materials Handling facility in Wilton via a tunnel 360 meters below ground, featuring the longest conveyor belt in the world.

• 🚢 The final product, called Poly4, is transported to the Teesport for storage and export, with a purpose-built port being constructed to meet the expected high demand.
