Earlier this month, Cornish announced it is accelerating work to reopen a past-producing tin mine at its South Crofty project in southwest England.
The Canadian explorer and developer said it will expedite plans to refurbish the New Cook’s Kitchen (NCK) shaft at South Crofty after an assessment revealed the deteriorating condition of its timbers, necessitating immediate action.
The Vancouver-based company expects the process of dewatering the mine to be completed by the third quarter of 2025.
South Crofty could produce up to 5,000 tonnes of tin annually, with initial production projected for 2026.
Shares of Cornish Metals rose 3.2% by 11:42 p.m. EDT. The miner has a market capitalization of C$85.6 million ($63.2 million).
