Redmoor - Discovery of New Tin Zone
Strategic Minerals PLC has announced the discovery of a new, significant tin zone, named the "North Tin Zone," at its Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project in Cornwall. This distinct mineralised structure, separate from the existing Redmoor Sheeted Vein System (SVS) deposit, was confirmed through analysis of recent drilling results, including a 4.00m intersection grading 0.25% Sn and 0.01% Cu, and historical data. The company believes this discovery represents substantial long-term potential for resource growth and will be included in the upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate update. Disclaimer*

Subject to estimation and assessment of Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction (\"RPEEE\"), this zone may have the potential to support future Mineral Resource definition.\nHighlights\n· Confirmation of the discovery of a new, large, mineralised structure separate to the SVS deposit (the \"North Tin Zone\") (see Figures 1, 2, and 3).\n· The intersect from CRD041, along with the recent validation and inclusion of the SWM 1980s drillhole data and following results from CRL's historical relogging and sampling programme, have defined this new, distinct, and continuous zone of mineralisation.\n· Given its continuity, grades, and size, the North Tin Zone will be subject to estimation and RPEEE analysis, as part of the forthcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (\"MRE\") update, with the potential to add a mean...
