'The UK is investing £2.5bn into Nuclear Fusion!'

'As demonstrated by the recent UKAEA visit to Redmoor, the supply chain of tungsten is tight and the future projected demand for tungsten into fusion is huge.
We look forward to potential engagement on ensuring domestic supply.'

'Our subsidiary @CornwallRes welcomed visitors from @UKAEAofficial this week.
With #tungsten critical to future fusion reactors, Redmoor – Europe’s highest-grade undeveloped tungsten project – could support future supply chains'

As a result of these posts I was reminded of the RNS from October 2023 regarding an MOU signed with Oxford Sigma. Given where we were at the time it passed me by but perhaps very relevant now. With the UKAEA visit & new investment is the destiny of Redmoors bounty pre-ordained & might they move to secure it ... interesting times .... 🙂
Highlights:
· MOU outlines how the two parties will collaborate to explore, develop, promote, and secure critical mineral supply pathways for tungsten to supply the fusion industry.
· As one of the only high-grade tungsten resources in the UK, Redmoor has the potential to be one of these supplies. In turn complementing the UK Government's Critical Minerals Strategy.
· Dennis Rowland, CRL's Project Manager, and Dr Thomas Davis of Oxford Sigma recently held discussions at CRL's Redmoor offices in Cornwall, where Dennis demonstrated the strengths of the Redmoor Project and the nature of its high-grade resource.
· CRL were encouraged by the projections of future tungsten requirements from the fusion industry, with each potential fusion reactor estimated to need between 100 - 5,000 tonnes of tungsten (design dependent), with a requirement to renew tungsten components on a regular timeline further strengthening potential demand.
· MOU signed for an initial 5-year period
