Tungsten West granted key permits for Hemerdon

Tungsten West plc has received two of four permits required to allow the restart of the tin-tungsten Hemerdon mine project in Devon.

PERMITS

The Environment Agency granted the mining waste facility permit and the open pit water abstraction licence.

The company said it expected to receive in early 2023 two further abstraction permits.

A renewed mineral processing facility permit, taking into account the revised processing plan in the new feasibility study, is progressing through the approval process.
