In 2018, the Company acquired the Leigh Creek Copper Mine which, while currently not operating, is expected to be back in production 2021. Leigh Creek Copper Mine utilises a heap leaching approach to produce copper cement and has executed an offtake arrangement for its output.  The Company is confident that both its thorough approach to recommencing production and higher copper prices will result in significant positive cashflows in the years to come.

In May 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with New Age Exploration Limited (“NAE”) which resulted in the Company acquiring, through ownership in a special purpose company Cornwall Resources Limited ("CRL"), 50% of the Redmoor tin/tungsten exploration project in Cornwall, England. Subsequently, the Company purchased NAE's shares in CRL which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Cornwall Resources Limited has acquired the rights, through an exploration licence and mining lease option arrangement, over a 23km2 area surrounding the Redmoor deposit in the Cornish tin-tungsten-copper mining district in the UK. The licence area had previously supported a number of historic tin-tungsten-copper mines and there are a number of operating open cut mines (china clay and tungsten) located in the region.
