The International Tin Association (ITA) is pleased to announce that Cornish Tin, a Cornwall-based tin and lithium exploration and development company and ITA E&D Group Member, has committed to implementing the Tin Code ESG-sustainability standard for its flagship projects in West Cornwall, UK: the Great Wheal Vor Project and the Tregonning Project.
This demonstrates Cornish Tin’s strong commitment to responsible mining, sustainable development, and positive impact on local communities and the tin supply chain. By aligning with the Tin Code, Cornish Tin supports the global movement towards more sustainable and transparent practices in the mining and metals sector.
Sally Norcross-Webb, Founder and CEO of Cornish Tin, said: “Our ambition has always been to build a modern mining company that reflects the highest standards of environmental, social, and governance expectations. Committing to the Tin Code reinforces our belief that sustainability must be embedded from the earliest stages of project development. Cornwall has a proud mining heritage, and we are determined to ensure that its next chapter is defined by responsible practices, transparency, and long-term value for local communities.”
Susannah Costley-White, Tin Code Programme Manager at ITA, added: “We are delighted to welcome Cornish Tin to the Tin Code, as our third explorer and developer company since in 2023 we expanded the standard to include early stage projects to promote the adoption of high standards from day one. The Tin Code sets a strong example of how sustainability can be integrated from the earliest stages of development, helping to shape a more responsible future for the tin industry.”
