Construction and development activity at the Woodsmith polyhalite project, which Anglo American acquired earlier this month, is being paused, the diversified major announced on Friday.
This is in line with the British government’s measures to prevent the spread of Covid-19, which by Friday has caused the death of about 580 people in the UK and more than 24 000 globally.
Anglo American said that appropriate action was being taken to enable “safe and swift” resumption of work at the $4-billion polyhalite project.
