Absolutely spot on FTJNY. This country needs to swing in the way of workers but let’s see. I am 100% sure this will happen quickly as I’ve heard and read enough to understand the right people now need and want what we have. Three years ago I’m not so sure but I’m not worried in the slightest as they can’t have we we have without planning permission which to be fair the councillors are 100% behind us. Just these historian walter’s but like us very few will listen to like the Green Party.

Just read that report and I know it will all be overcome as Tungsten, Tin and copper are needed but just shows what length us British people go to to see what happened hundreds of years ago. I love history but we need to concentrate on today and tomorrow instead of looking back wards. I know it’s important for historians but if they was that interested in the area then why don’t they drill there own holes or do a dig instead of waiting at someone else’s expense. They wouldn’t get any opportunity if these holes weren’t being dug out.

Just patience KD24. It's coming but the moves will be staggered over the next 18 months. I would have thought the big initial one will be in the Autumn but Strategic keep coming up with nice surprises.

Three more back today from external Consultees and all straight forward to deal with- 2 of them attached but the police one goes on a bit so left that out.

WHS Planning Advice

Comment Date: Wed 27 May 2026

Thank you for consulting the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site Office. We have reviewed the submitted information. The proposed locations of the drill sites are noted and on the basis of their siting, scale and temporary nature we do not consider the proposed development will impact on the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage Site.

While no further comment is deemed necessary in this instance, it should be noted that World Heritage Sites are designated by the United Nations, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as places of significance to the whole of humanity. This puts the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site on a par with international treasures such as the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Great Wall of China. Harm to any attributes of Outstanding Universal Value (international significance) within the World Heritage Site risks the loss of this status for the entire designated property across Cornwall and west Devon.

Cornwall Geoconservation Group

Comment Date: Wed 27 May 2026

Thank you for inviting Cornwall Geoconservation Group to comment on the application for drilling within the Old Redmoor Mine County Geology Site.

The Group has no objection to the proposal. The information gathered from the drill cores will add to the geological knowledge of the area and we support the current initiatives towards the revival of mining in Cornwall. We do, however, make the following comments:

1. The applicant does not make any reference or acknowledgement to the proposal being within a County Geology Site. Hence, it does not address any issues that could affect the integrity of the geodiversity at the site. This includes any potential damage to any existing surface mineral spoils and accessible underground workings (if any), for which the site has been designated.

2. Should the works involve disturbance of any existing mineral spoils, we request that the spoils are not reinstated by landscaping that will result in a loss of their physical appearance as mineral spoils.

3. Should any mineral spoils be disturbed during the drilling campaign we request that we are given the opportunity to examine and describe the rocks and minerals present in the spoils.

The Cornwall Geoconservation Group is a committee of the Royal Geological Society of Cornwall. Its role is to raise awareness of the county's geodiversity (i.e. its rocks, minerals, fossils, soils and landforms) and to provide advice on their geoconservation. It has a responsibility for designating and maintaining County Geology Sites (CGS) and providing advice to Cornwall Council on planning issues that could have an impact on geodiversity. (See https://www.cornwallgeoconservationgroup.org/ and https://geologycornwall.com/ )

Very encouaging to see the funding page as the main picture from our Redmoor site. All boards very well for extra funding which isn't needed until we move to DFS later this year/early next year. Read below very carefully as it is plainly obvious everyone wants these projects fast tracking even more than we do.

Early engagement with the Council is being encouraged and it will work proactively with potential applicants to shape investment propositions and ensure alignment with programme priorities.

The fund will operate through two investment strands:

The Cornwall Catalyst Fund – supporting projects that drive growth and innovation within Cornwall’s distinctive sectors, including sector-enabling infrastructure and business-led investment.

The Cornwall Assets Growth Fund – bringing forward development opportunities to support sector growth linked to Cornwall Council-owned land and assets, including strategic employment land at Cornwall Airport Newquay and the Aerohub Enterprise Zone.

The Council says projects should demonstrate strong alignment with Cornwall’s economic priorities and wider UK Industrial Strategy objectives. It has produced a detailed commissioning document which sets out what it wants to fund. This includes:

Critical minerals and mineral processing

Renewable energy including geothermal and Floating Offshore Wind

Space and satellite technologies including cluster development

Drone and autonomy technologies

Marine engineering and innovation including port infrastructure and autonomy

Projects will need to be “shovel-ready”, with planning, permissions and delivery arrangements sufficiently advanced to enable rapid progress. All funds must be committed by the end of March 2028, and the programme will finish at the end of March 2031.

Councillor Tim Dwelly, Cornwall Council Portfolio Holder for Economic Regeneration and Investment, said: “Cornwall is increasingly recognised as one of the UK’s most important locations for future-facing industries. The opportunity now is to translate that potential into major investment, better jobs and long-term economic resilience.

“We are particularly keen to hear from businesses and partners with commercially credible projects that can unlock wider sector growth, strengthen supply chains and create lasting economic benefit for Cornwall.

“This is about building industrial capability in Cornwall that has regional, national and international significance.”

The Kernow Industrial Growth Fund forms part of Cornwall’s wider Good Growth Plan ambitions and supports the county’s role in delivering national priorities.

They are non stop drilling through the Pad they have planning permission for PFS but they are getting planning permission for extra pads to fast track the project which is going very well through Cornwall council already having 7 votes in favour to zero objections from local councilors which is generally where the sticking point is. I could see that next Friday is the last day on when it needs to be put on posters / news papers etc which have already been published so things moving very fast indeed.

Missed you Tungstenman. Nice to see you back after a few weeks missing in action.

Seems to be moving along very well indeed— Couple of snippets from various sectors plus the best bit no objections from the local council won 7-0. No objections

Environment Agency Position

We have no objections to the proposal at this stage. However, we do have the following informative and advice for the operator to ensure that the work does not result in any adverse environmental impacts.

Quite a lot of information come back over the last week from different parties but all look very straightforward and quite supportive

​What was discussed yesterday in the British Parliament regarding Tungsten?

​The Sub-Committee on Economic Security, Arms and Export Controls held its final evidence session on the UK's Critical Minerals Strategy. The key focus areas were:

​The "China Dilemma" in Defense: Committee chair Rt Hon Liam Byrne highlighted that tungsten is vital for military equipment (munitions, armor). With China dominating the market, the UK defense industry is highly vulnerable.

​The Processing Paradox: Experts warned that while the UK has vast tungsten reserves in the South West (like Hemerdon/Tungsten West), it lacks domestic refining capabilities. Shipping raw concentrate to China only to re-import it at high prices is a "net loss of mineral wealth" and a security risk.

​Government Funding & Transparency: Industry Minister Chris McDonald MP was pressed on how a £50 million critical minerals fund will be allocated to domestic projects in Devon and Cornwall. Parliament also discussed mandatory strategic stockpiling for defense contractors and fixing supply chain blindness.

​Conclusion: Parliament made it clear that reviving domestic tungsten production in the South West is no longer just a commercial venture, but a cornerstone of UK national security, demanding immediate government backing over mere paperwork.

I am personally gutted due to funds. I have invested that much here over the last twelve months i am now maxed out. Currently have £140K at 5p that seems crazy as i started at 3k thinking that was a massive risk as i had never been into stocks or shares. Don't think i will ever be as lucky as i have been but i read the story, did my research on all the previous findings and believed in the story/book.

I’ve been reading it for two hours and still only scratched the surface. It is a very in-depth report and has been in progress since the 23rd of April.

Proposed mineral exploration drilling programme and associated developments involving drilling at 5 sites

|

Old Redmoor Mine Area Redmoor Road Callington Cornwall

Quite a few won't know about Leigh Creek in Australia that SML will still own a % even after they receive what as been agreed in May 2026.

See below

As of late 2025/early 2026, the Leigh Creek Copper Mine (LCCM) in South Australia is transitioning to new ownership, with Cuprum Metals (South Pacific Mineral Investments Pty Ltd) exercising an option to acquire it from Strategic Minerals plc, targeting a restart of operations in 2026. The project includes permitted sites such as Paltridge North and Mountain of Light, focusing on heap leach copper production.

Share Talk

+3

Acquisition Status: In December 2025, Cuprum Metals exercised its option to acquire 100% of the Leigh Creek Copper Mine, with a final payment scheduled for May 2026.

Restart Target: Both parties are planning for a restart of mining operations in 2026, driven by strong copper market conditions.

Bellini, quite a few people here holding a lot of shares. I am relatively short term and hold 2.4 million but quite a few have quoted a lot more than that. Not many people are selling as this is an incredible opportunity for us. It will be once all the news keeps flowing and we are getting close to PFS and the inevitable upscale of already a sizeable project. Good luck

Absolutely Bellini, No ramping or nonsense required here. SML are always way in front of us and just keep delivering.

I am sure 95% of us who hold a lot of shares are happy as Larry. This is turning into a monster.

One thing i am surprised at is the lifespan at Tungsten West. I have seen it has a 10 year life span. I am pretty sure our's will be way beyond what was quoted at the last MRE. This will keep growing as we expand with the new drill holes which are coming which are unrelated to what as already been factored in.

Zeus View: Redmoor is critical tungsten project in our view. High-grade and scalable and capable of generating superior returns at our long-term tungsten APT price of $850/mtu. Tungsten is a critical metal and is not substitutable due to its hardness and high melting point in cutting tools and in defence applications. China is the primary producer and has instituted export controls and indeed now imports material. The current tungsten price is exceptional with Fastmarket prices over $3,000/mtu as non-Chinese producers scramble for tungsten production. A requirement for security of supply is driving the price and interest in tungsten projects outside of China; the highgrade Redmoor project is one of the benefits of this interest in our view and we see fair value at 14.9p per share.

Before anyone else points out the funding is already in place this year for the PFS Steven though that is very expensive that stage is already nailed on awaiting the report and information release which will no doubt be very positive.

I’m am pretty new here so thought this information might help a few as I had no idea at all a few months ago about junior mining.

Although this information is in normal conditions but SML aren’t messing about they are very proactive so the orphan period might be over very quickly -

Context on the Lassonde Curve:The Trough ("Orphan Period"): The value of the company often drops during these studies because they are expensive and time-consuming, leading to a period of lower shareholder interest (the trough).Value Realization: A positive PFS or DFS acts as a re-rating catalyst, bringing the stock price up from the bottom of the curve toward production

I had to generate 10k today to pay for Solar and an EV 🔌 Charger. Sold 200 thousand shares not happy at all it feels like I’ve lost an arm. Still sat with 2.5 million but I’ve been holding of hoping they would fly upto 10p before i let any go.

Can’t grumble as SML directors have paid for solar etc so thank you.

The best thing about that report is it has a very big glue as to what is the prime investment will be. I will leave it up to yourselves to see the obvious.

The figures don’t lie. Be patient buy as many as you can afford if you believe. Sell if you don’t and make someone else rich.

Makes no odds to me as I believe and am stopping.
