(Sharecast News) - Tungsten West said on Wednesday that it would begin commissioning the phased production ramp-up at the Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine in Devon later this month, in line with its previously stated timetable.
The AIM-traded company said recommissioning of the fines gravity circuit and downstream processing facilities remained scheduled for the third quarter, with the coarse gravity circuit due in the fourth quarter and full project commissioning expected in the first quarter of 2027.

It said the project was forecast to be completed within budget and that it had recruited more than 100 employees, targeting a workforce of 350 by early 2027.

Chief executive Jeff Court said the start of recommissioning marked "another significant milestone towards full project commissioning in Q1 2027."

At 1148 BST, shares in Tungsten West were down 3.71% at 35.05p.
