Strategic Minerals plc has reported outstanding drill results from its Redmoor Tungsten-Tin-Copper Project, reinforcing the site’s status as one of the UK’s most promising high-grade undeveloped tungsten resources.
The standout result came from drillhole CRD034b, which intersected a remarkably rich 1.10-metre zone grading 7.19% WO₃, alongside multiple thick intervals of strong mineralisation. These grades place the intersection among the most impressive tungsten hits recorded at the project to date.
The results also highlighted significant polymetallic strength, with notable copper assays of 3.46m at 1.93% Cu and 1.25% WO₃, as well as tin grades reaching up to 1.00% Sn in lode-style zones. Silver values were equally encouraging, peaking at 84.8 g/t in associated intervals.
Strategic Minerals said the latest data further underpins Redmoor’s potential for substantial resource expansion, strengthening its case as a strategically important source of critical metals at a time of increasing global demand for tungsten in defence, aerospace and clean energy technologies.
The company believes the results demonstrate both the scale and grade consistency of the mineral system, supporting its ongoing drive to unlock long-term value from the project.
Dennis Rowland, CRL Managing Director, said:
“These results highlight downhole intersections of impressive length and grade, up to 15.00 m at nearly 1% WO3, and significant single sample zones reaching 7.19% WO3 – amongst the top 10 sample intervals by grade recorded at Redmoor to date by the Company.
“The new results reported outside the existing Redmoor resource model indicate strong potential for material resource growth. Ongoing analysis of samples from additional drillholes is expected to further refine and enhance the understanding of Redmoor’s resource potential.
“The continuation of very high-grade mineralisation in CRD034b reinforces Redmoor’s status as Europe’s highest-grade undeveloped tungsten resource, and among the highest-grade globally.”
Mark Burnett, SML Executive Director, said:
“The Board is pleased with the impressive results reported from this drillhole, which highlight the exceptional nature of the Redmoor deposit. Overall, CRD034b has proved very valuable in the short-range continuity test as well as in finding excellent grade intersections. Redmoor sits in a commanding position to be a secure supply of minerals deemed critical to the UK and its peers.”
Cllr Tim Dwelly, Cornwall Council’s Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Investment, said:
“We’ve invested almost £765,000 through our Good Growth Programme to support the latest drilling operation at Redmoor, and it’s encouraging to see these latest results. Cornwall’s critical minerals sector has enormous potential to create high-quality jobs, attract further private investment and strengthen security of supply for the minerals our economy increasingly relies on. That’s why we’re backing responsible critical minerals projects that we believe can deliver long-term economic value for Cornwall, while helping to meet national demand and deliver against the government’s Industrial Strategy.”
