Overview of Tungsten West

Tungsten West is the 100 per cent owner and operator of the formerly producing Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine, located near Plymouth in southern Devon, England. The Hemerdon mine is currently the world's third largest tungsten resource, with a JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate of approximately 325Mt at 0.12 per cent. WO₃. The Company acquired the mine out of a receivership process in 2019 after its most recent operators, Wolf Minerals ("Wolf"), stopped production in 2018. While it was operator, Wolf invested over £170 million into the development of the site, including significant infrastructure and processing facilities.

The Company is focussed on updating the existing infrastructure and, in the near-term, restarting the Hemerdon mine at a low cost. Following the restart, Hemerdon is expected to produce significant volumes of tungsten and tin, both of which are strategically important materials, particularly in the development of new technology.
