The first of three drill holes is on Redmoor Road in Kelly Bray, Callington with all three expected to complete in three months.
A second rig will arrive to support operations expected to last a further three months.
Data from drilling and Cornwall Resources’ relogging and sampling programme will contribute to a new JORC (2012) compliant mineral resource estimate for Redmoor, expected during Q1 2026.
“This is an important moment for the company, for Cornwall, and for the UK,” said project manager Dennis Rowland.
“The drilling now underway is the first exploration drilling at Redmoor since 2018 and aims to enable the accelerated development of a potentially important new domestic source of critical minerals.
“Tungsten is essential in various high-performance applications, from industrial tools to aerospace and defence.
“We are excited to highlight through this drill programme the potential of Redmoor as a strategically important, high-grade, polymetallic tungsten resource right here in the UK.”
