I don’t think the market’s currently appreciating how important the UK government support is for Redmoor.
SML secured £764k from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, matched by the company for a fully funded £1.53m drill programme. Plus, Redmoor fits perfectly with the UK’s Critical Minerals Strategy — tin and tungsten are officially strategic metals.
This isn’t just a nice-to-have grant. It means dilution risk is reduced, adds serious credibility, and signals strong government support that could help with planning, permitting, and future offtake.
On top of that, they have a 3-year exclusivity deal with the Duchy of Cornwall. Cornwall’s mining-friendly, politically stable, and that access combined with government backing puts Redmoor in a very strong position.
Redmoor’s 2020 scoping study showed a $163m NPV, and the company is targeting an updated resource estimate early next year. Yet the market cap is only around £7m — and that’s not even considering the value of Leigh Creek or Cobre.
If drilling goes well and the MRE confirms more resources, a re-rate to £25m+ seems realistic — and that’s still conservative compared to peers.
Feels like this government support angle is being missed completely. It’s a major de-risking factor and not reflected in the current share price at all imo.
