Anglo American pledged a four-year £4m funding package to the Foundation when it acquired the Woodsmith Project in March 2020. In December 2023 Anglo American pledged a further £4m funding package.
Longer term, it will be funded by a percentage of mine revenue, which is expected to amount to several million pounds per year.
