Woodsmith Mine is a deep planned potash and polyhalite mine located near the hamlet of Sneatonthorpe, Whitby in North Yorkshire, England. The venture was started by York Potash Ltd, which became a subsidiary of Sirius Minerals plc whose primary focus was the development of the polyhalite project. The project will mine the world's largest known deposit of polyhalite – a naturally occurring mineral. Because the project would require mining to be undertaken in the North York Moors National Park, many objections were raised to the mine and the proposed underground conveyor that would be installed to transport the raw material offsite to a plant on Teesside 37 km (23 mi) away.
