Breaking Ground at Hemerdon

Tungsten West plc (LON: TUN), the mining Company focussed on recommencing
production at the Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine ("Hemerdon" or the "Project")
in Devon, England, is pleased to announce the Company broke ground at Hemerdon
for the installation of the X-Ray Transmission ("XRT") Ore Sorters on 17 March
2022. This event marks another major step in the Company's upgrade and
refurbishment plans for the Projects processing plant.

 

As announced earlier this month, the Company took receipt of important
long-lead equipment items, including the seven XRT Ore Sorters, which will
make up part of the upgraded equipment the Company plans to install into the
front end of the processing plant. The XRT ore sorter will substantially
improve and streamline operations once production restarts, minimising plant
downtime, increasing recovery as well as a host of ESG benefits.

 

Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce the appointment of James
McFarlane as Managing Director of Tungsten West. James previously held the
position of Technical & Operations Director of the Company and has
unrivalled knowledge of Hemerdon coupled with his global technical mining
experience and a strong background in UK Mining Operations. James has
previously held senior roles in active mining operations in England, Wales,
Scotland, Ireland, and Australia.

 

 

Max Denning, Tungsten West CEO, comments:

 

"We are extremely excited to have broken ground at Hemerdon this week, marking
an important milestone in the Projects restart. Ensuring the UK and the
western hemisphere have got access to two key critical minerals has never been
more profound. We are also delighted to announce James as our new Managing
Director; his extensive experience will prove invaluable in the Company's
development as we move closer to first production at Hemerdon."
