Cornish Metals (AIM:TIN) has opened a new workshop and stores facility to provide permanent maintenance, engineering and storage services for the South Crofty tin project in the UK, supporting the project through development and into production. The building stands on the site of the former Bartles Foundry within South Crofty's surface footprint, is covered with solar panels and will use geothermal energy recovered from mine water pumped from South Crofty, providing a lower-carbon energy source. The project was part-funded by a grant of up to 4.2 million GBP (about 7.98 million USD) from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, managed by Cornwall Council; total project cost was approximately 6.8 million GBP (about 12.92 million USD). CEO Don Turvey said installation of the service winder and completion of the production winder building mark a visible shift from preparation to construction at the New Cook's Kitchen (NCK) shaft, with underground dewatering passing 400m below surface and progressing steadily. A two-hole, 2,330m surface drilling programme at Roskear has been completed; both holes intersected the known Roskear lodes at or close to predicted positions, confirming tin mineralisation continues west beyond the current resource and supporting potential resource growth. High-grade tungsten was also discovered, but tin remains the company's focus. South Crofty is a historical underground tin mine considered among the highest-grade tin resources globally, with potential to become a new low-cost global producer. Tin mining in Cornwall's Central Mining District dates back to 2,300 BC, with large-scale production from the mid-1600s until South Crofty, the last active mine, closed in 1998.

Young Poong Corporation reveló el 2 de octubre que un tribunal de primera instancia había anulado la orden de suspensión de 10 días para la fundición de Seokpo, que actualmente opera con normalidad. Las ventas atribuibles a la operación afectada totalizaron aproximadamente 1,01 billones de wones en 2024, lo que representa el 36,22 % de los ingresos consolidados. El historial oficial de Young Poong muestra que la fundición completó una planta de indio en abril de 2012. SMM considera que el fallo reduce el riesgo de interrupción a corto plazo para la fundición de zinc y la extracción de indio como subproducto, aunque cualquier apelación y la tasa de operación real y la producción de la planta de indio requieren un seguimiento adicional.
