📸 Step back in time with 'South Crofty 1997'

We're delighted to share details of a unique photography exhibition by renowned photographer George Wright, featuring photographs taken underground at South Crofty during a pivotal moment in the mine's history.

In 1997, George Wright and writer James Crowden visited South Crofty at a time of great uncertainty for the mine and its workforce. The powerful images captured during that one-day visit documented life half a mile underground just months before the mine's closure in 1998. While some of the photographs were published in 'The Wheal of Hope', this is the first time the collection has ever been exhibited.

📍 TONER Gallery, Penzance
🗓 Exhibition runs 6-28 November 2026
🎤 Opening night and artist talk: Friday 6 November, 5-8pm

If you're interested in Cornwall's industrial heritage, photography, or South Crofty itself, this exhibition is well worth a visit.

We're pleased to share that Cornish Metals has retained an overall A rating from Digbee ESG in its second annual independent sustainability assessment.

As South Crofty moves from planning towards construction, maintaining this rating reflects continued progress across governance, environmental performance and community impact, including:

✅ Strengthened ESG governance and oversight

✅ 96% renewable energy consumption in 2025

✅ 84% of employees recruited from Cornwall

✅ £24.4 million spent with suppliers, including 212 Cornish businesses

✅ The underground mine design removing the need for a permanent surface tailings facility

Importantly, the assessment also highlights areas where further work is needed, including independent assurance of sustainability data, the maturity of risk management systems and evidence of how controls perform in practice. These insights form an important part of our ongoing sustainability journey.

Responsible development remains central to our strategy as we work to establish South Crofty as a secure domestic source of tin for the UK and wider Western supply chain.

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our fundraising, securing total gross proceeds of £135 million.

This includes the conditional subscription of shares by National Wealth Fund for £41.7 million, Vision Blue Resources for £39.3 million, Glencore for £11.2 million, Leonidsport for £13.4 million, and the majority of directors and other investors in the company for £3.0 million. A conditional placing raised £20.4 million, and a conditional retail offer raised £6.0 million.

The fundraising completes the full project financing package for the South Crofty tin project and enables the company to proceed with Final Investment Decision, following shareholder approval at a General Meeting. South Crofty remains on track for first production in 2028.

This marks a significant step in the redevelopment of one of the UK's most historic tin mines and the return of mining to Cornwall. The project is expected to support skilled employment, investment in local businesses and supply chains, and wider economic growth across the region during both construction and operations. Tin is designated as a critical mineral in the UK, and is essential for modern technology including electronics and energy transition technologies.

Today, we honour the memory of our colleague, Bryn Edmunds.

Bryn joined South Crofty as a Fabricator in 2023 and immediately got stuck in helping wherever he could as part of the close-knit team preparing the mine for dewatering. He could be found anywhere from the muckiest hole in the ground to the top of the headframe, and was never afraid of getting stuck in and getting the job done, no matter the conditions.

As shaft refurbishment work progressed, Bryn was always keen to be involved, helping remove old steelwork, coming up with ideas, and fabricating solutions to overcome the challenges his colleagues faced underground every day.

Bryn was a great example of spirit and tenacity. Before joining South Crofty, he had already fought and overcome cancer. When he was diagnosed again in 2024, he faced the challenge with the typical determination, bullishness and positive attitude that defined him.

A hardworking, lovely all-round gentleman, Bryn earned the respect and friendship of everyone who had the privilege of working alongside him. He will be sorely missed by all at South Crofty.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and loved ones.
