Located in South Devon, UK, the Hemerdon Mine was operational between 2015 and 2018, at which point the project went into receivership.

 

The Project is one of the largest tungsten deposits globally. 

ESSENTIAL TUNGSTEN

Tungsten is a metal that every consumer uses directly or indirectly. 

It’s unique properties of being the hardest metal with the highest melting point mean it's
used in many different sectors such as automotive, technology, energy and manufacturing.

On the supply side, tungsten is one of three metals classified as a conflict mineral
as it is mined by forced labour in certain parts of the globe. 

There is a significant risk that the EU and the US will not have sufficient access to tungsten concentrates in the near future, which is why its classified as a critical mineral.
