Caspin amplia recurso de estanho de Kelpie em 45% visando projeto independente de mina a céu aberto

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.

A Young Poong Corporation divulgou, em 2 de outubro, que um tribunal de primeira instância cancelou a ordem de suspensão de 10 dias da Fundição Seokpo, que atualmente opera normalmente. As vendas atribuíveis à operação afetada totalizaram aproximadamente KRW 1,0096 trilhão em 2024, representando 36,22% da receita consolidada. O histórico oficial da Young Poong mostra que a fundição concluiu uma planta de índio em abril de 2012. A SMM considera que a decisão reduz o risco de interrupção de curto prazo para a fundição de zinco e a extração de índio como subproduto, embora qualquer recurso e a taxa real de operação e produção da planta de índio exijam monitoramento adicional.
