Just came across this interesting news clip from the BBC news site.
www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-41325581/what-s-it-like-to-go-down-a-disused-400-year-old-tin-mine
Apparently there are proposals to open up South Crofty though I'm not sure if it's for tin. There are proposals to prospect for lithium which is used in the manufacture of components like batteries we need for our modern technology -see www.cornishlithium.com.
It would be good if Cornwall had an industrial future rather than a destiny solely as a retirement and holiday park.
