Hemerdon Mine Advances Restart with Processing Facility Trial
Tungsten West has successfully produced its initial trial concentrate at the Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine in Devon, United Kingdom, marking a significant step in the mine’s restart program. The current processing trials are designed to test and optimize the mineral processing facility, providing technical data essential for scaling up to full production.
The program aims to de-risk operational processes and demonstrate compliance with environmental and operational standards. This development supports Tungsten West’s strategy to re-establish Hemerdon as a key source of tungsten and tin, both of which are in increasing demand due to their use in advanced industrial applications.
- Hemerdon is regarded as one of the world’s largest tungsten resources
- Processing trials are being conducted under oversight to ensure regulatory compliance, including environmental standards
- Tungsten West, owner and operator, seeks to restart production to address rising demand for strategic metals
