The South Crofty tin mining project is set to benefit from a major injection of funding, with £4.19m awarded through the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Good Growth Programme, which is the programme’s largest single private sector investment to date.
Delivered by Cornwall Council, the funding comes from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and is part of a £6.8m project on the site at Pool by owner Cornish Metals. This will see the construction of new workshops, stores, and offices on the Bartles Foundry site at South Crofty which received conditional planning approval in January.
The infrastructure is critical to supporting the underground development phase of South Crofty, helping to bring the historic tin mine back into production and generating skilled jobs in the local area.
