THE PROJECT

Background:

​

The Hemerdon Tungsten-Tin Mine, formerly known as Drakelands Mine or the Hemerdon Ball or Hemerdon Bal Mine, has a history of mining activity. Operations date back to 1918, with production during both World Wars. Further exploration and feasibility work was carried out in the 1980s. The site was later developed into a modern operation and produced tungsten and tin between August 2015 and October 2018 under previous operators.

 

The mine is located 7 miles NE of Plymouth, near the village of Plympton, in Devon, England, and is one of the largest tungsten resources in the world. 

 

The mine site retains a partially developed open pit, a complete processing plant, an integrated mine waste facility, workshops, administration offices and all associated mine site infrastructure.
