South Crofty: is a historical underground tin mine located in Cornwall, United Kingdom and benefits from existing mine infrastructure including multiple shafts that can be used for future operations; is the highest grade known tin Mineral Resource not in production with significant near-mine and regional Mineral Resource potential; is permitted to commence underground mining (valid to 2071), construct a new processing facility and for all necessary site infrastructure; is expected to produce approximately 4,700 tonnes of tin-in-concentrate annually in the first five years of full production at lowest-quartile all-in sustaining costs over an initial 14-year mine life; will be a low environmental impact underground mine with zero surface tailings; would be potentially the first primary producer of tin in Europe or North America. Tin is a Critical Mineral as defined by the UK, American, and Canadian governments as it is used in almost all electronic devices and electrical infrastructure. Approximately two-thirds of the tin mined today comes from China, Myanmar and Indonesia; benefits from strong local community, regional and national government support with a growing team of skilled people, local to Cornwall, and could generate over 300 direct jobs; is an opportunity for a secure domestic supply of tin in the UK supporting a low carbon economy.
