About Cornish Metals Inc.
Cornish Metals (formerly Strongbow Exploration Inc.) completed the acquisition of the South Crofty tin project plus additional mineral rights located in Cornwall, United Kingdom, in July, 2016 (see the company's news release dated July 12, 2016). The additional mineral rights cover an area of approximately 15,000 hectares and are distributed throughout Cornwall. Some of these mineral rights cover old mines that were historically worked for copper, tin, zinc and tungsten.
The South Crofty project covers the former producing South Crofty tin mine located in Pool, Cornwall. The South Crofty mine closed in 1998 following over 400 years of continuous production. Since acquiring the project in 2016, Cornish Metals has completed and published maiden National Instrument 43-101 mineral resources for South Crofty, using the vast archive of historical production data and more recent drilling completed between 2007 and 2013. In 2017, Cornish Metals completed a preliminary economic assessment that demonstrated the economic viability of reopening the mine. Additionally, Cornish Metals has undertaken extensive pilot-scale water treatment trials, and applied for and received the necessary environmental permits to abstract, treat and discharge mine water to dewater the mine. Planning permissions for the operation of the mine and redevelopment of the surface facilities have been secured, and construction of the water treatment plant foundations commenced. The dewatering pumps, variable speed drives and new high-voltage power supply have been delivered to site.
