In our race against climate change, the world desperately needs more tin, indispensable in electric vehicles, electronics, and sustainable energy sources
But the UK is 100% dependent on tin imports, (75% from Asia), often with worker exploitation and high carbon emissions
Cornish Tin's ultimate goal is to develop a clean supply of tin from the UK, with research into initiatives to achieve a net-zero carbon operation
In its heyday, in the mid 19th century, The Great Wheal Vor was described as “the richest locality for tin that has ever been discovered”. The mines closed 150 years ago following a mineral rights dispute, not through lack of tin
