The Assay TV catches up with Sally Norcross-Web founder and CEO of Cornish Tin Limited, a company focused on its flagship Great Wheal Vor Project, a group of 26 former producing tin and copper mines in the Mining District of Breage, Cornwall, UK.
Sally tells us the company about the company’s ongoing drill programme at Great Wheal Vor, with a total of 2,810m of diamond drilling has been completed in Phase 2, with 1,506m of tin focused drillholes, and 1,304m allocated to the new lithium field intercepted in Phase 1 by Cornish Tin. A combined total of 9,290m has now been drilled by the company. Additionally, Cornish Tin’s Phase 1 discoveries included a new high-grade tin lode “Hichens Lode”, and multiple new tin lodes with grades of up to 6.28% Sn.
Sally also tells us that the only type of granite in Cornwall containing the high lithium enrichment necessary for viable hardrock lithium mining is G5 Granite, otherwise known as “Topaz Granite”. It is very rare (only about 1.4% of all Cornish granite outcrop). Of that 1.4%, the major part (about 54%) is the Tregonning Granite, which underlies much of Cornish Tin’s exploration area.
