Article in the Western Morning News this morning abou Marine Minerals (ceo Mike Proudfoot ex Wheal Jane) intending to restart trials for offshore tin dredging. The last of various companies investigating this, but never getting to full scale production, was Marine Mining which gave up with the tin crash in the 1980's.

Looks like they are looking at alternatives to Dredging that will not get the environmental people in a flap....

Is it safe to come out of the bunker yet?

RoyM has a very interesting report from the St Agnes area about the deposits and their floating mill requirements.

It was very interesting and showed certain economic viability.
