National Wealth Fund backs Tungsten West to unlock critical UK tungsten supply

Primary source

National Wealth Fund

OfficialenPublished 25 Aug 2026Accessed 22 Sep 2026

The National Wealth Fund's own release announcing up to £71 million (£36 million equity plus up to £35 million lending) for Tungsten West to restart the Hemerdon tungsten and tin mine near Plymouth. States that the resulting negotiation right for up to 50% of production is separate from the offtake agreement itself, which was still being negotiated by the UK Government as of this release.
