Tungsten West Accelerates Hemerdon Mine Restart Amid Rising Prices
Tungsten West is expediting the restart of its Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine in the UK, driven by soaring prices for these metals. The company is on track to begin Phase 1 of fines gravity processing in the third quarter, with full plant commissioning expected by early 2027. Recent developments include appointing major subcontractors, starting preparatory earthworks, and securing significant funding packages. The company aims to address the growing supply gap for tungsten concentrate.
