This is likely to [partly?] explain the 40% jump in the last month. Quick Google Gemini response to 'what uk listed companies are exploring for tungsten or have found a tungsten deposit or a deposit with economically significant tungsten as part of a polymetalic discovery':
Based on the search results, here are the UK-listed companies that are exploring for tungsten or have a significant tungsten deposit:
Tungsten West PLC (LSE: TUN): This is the most prominent company in this category. Tungsten West owns and operates the Hemerdon mine in Devon, England. The Hemerdon mine is a world-class deposit, known to be the fourth-largest tungsten-tin deposit in the world. The company is actively focused on restarting production at the site.
Cornish Metals Inc. (AIM: CUSN): While primarily focused on its South Crofty tin mine in Cornwall, Cornish Metals also holds other mineral rights in the region with potential for discovery of various metals, including tungsten, copper, lithium, zinc, and silver.
Thor Energy PLC (AIM: THR): Thor Energy has a diversified portfolio of strategic metals projects across Australia and the USA. The company's portfolio includes the Molyhil Tungsten Project, which is located in Australia.
Cornwall Resources Limited: This company is exploring for a polymetallic discovery at the Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project near Callington, Cornwall. Drilling has been underway to assess the potential of this high-grade resource. While a privately held company, it is actively involved in tungsten exploration in the UK.
