250 Jobs may be created with thanks to the Western United Mines (WUM) as they increase their activity across their sites in Cornwall. The mining company have recently been exploratory drilling at the South Crofty mine near Cambourne for the past 18 months and is set to begin activities across additional sites in the area.
The mine which is Europe's last Tin mine, closed in 1998 but was shortly bought by WUM in 2001 with the firm saying they will spend £50M on restarting the mine.This said, another £3.5M is being spent in the next seven months on continuing the mine development.
Rising Tin prices has given the mine, which first opened in the late 16th Century, another 80 years of life.
