A New Dawn for South Crofty?

Western Morning News Article

'Cornish mining could be back in business within two years if ambitious plans to extract copper, zinc, silver and even gold at South Crofty attract sufficient international investment.'

This is fascinating - from my point of view having just visited the mine and having visited the underground workings I have to say that I'm not surprised of this recent news. In order for such a large scale observation and investigation programme to be instigated there had to be more than a half chance they would find something. There's clearly plenty of extractable material down there...whether you'll get the amount of workers required is a different matter. I have a feeling Cornwall will jump at it......
