Work on Sirius Minerals’ PLC’s (LON:SXX) polyhalite fertiliser project in North Yorkshire continues apace.
Site investigation and geotechnical studies have been underway since the end of last year, while an additional drilling rig, similar to that used during the company's exploration campaign, is expected on site at the end of February. This will gather more detailed information for the upcoming shaft sinking.
The full site preparation phase is expected to start in the second quarter, while highway work will get underway on January 30 (ending April 7).
At the same time, detailed engineering, design and commercial work has begun.
Investors will be provided with quarterly updates starting the weeks commencing March 27, June 26, September 25 and January 8, 2018.
