Boulby Mine is a 200-hectare (490-acre) site located just south-east of the village of Boulby, on the north-east coast of the North York Moors in Redcar and Cleveland, England. It is run by Cleveland Potash Limited, which is now a subsidiary of Israel Chemicals Ltd. In early 2016, polyhalite mining commenced. Polyhalite, marketed as Polysulphate by ICL, is a natural multi-nutrient fertiliser containing potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. It is not a mixture of sulfates. Polysulphate is sold in 3 grades: granular, mini-granular and standard. As well as producing Polysulphate, a granulated blend of potash and Polysulphate is sold as PotashPluS - part of ICL's wider FertiliserPluS product spectrum- Credit Wikipedia
