The team behind plans to reopen a tin mine have said they are optimistic they will begin commercial extraction by mid-2028.
Engineers have pumped water out of the flooded South Crofty mine, in Pool, Cornwall, and have accessed areas 1,148ft (350m) below ground. Despite being full of water since the mine closed in March 1998, managers at Cornish Metals said the tunnels were “intact” and in good condition.
