About Anglo Saxony Mining Limited
ASM plans to establish sustainable tin production and processing from the Tellerhäuser Mine in Saxony, Germany. The Tellerhäuser Mine has a 50-year mining licence granted in 2020 with final permitting well advanced. The local Erzgebirge area has 800 years of mining history, including the world’s oldest School of Mines. The Tellerhäuser mine comes with 150,000m of tunnels and other underground development, approx. 140,000m of historical drilling and 3,000m of channel sampling from past owners of the project. ASM has ambitions to become a sustainable tin producer from a zero-waste mine by carrying out all of its processing and waste to be located in underground voids. The waste material will be stored and treated via water treatment facility in-situ and pumped to a nearby storage plant.
Peter Ruse, a director of Gunsynd, commented: “Gunsynd is pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the financing for ASM – an exciting tin development opportunity in Western Europe. Tin as a commodity has caught the market’s attention since late 2020, with prices rising quickly on the back of a fundamental supply-demand mismatch coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tellerhäuser deposit benefits from extensive mine infrastructure from past investment and exploration expenditure. The deposit sits on the doorstep of numerous German and Austrian tin and zinc smelters in a region with 800 years of active mining operations.”
