Cornwall is playing a "vital role" supplying minerals such as lithium and tin to the UK’s economy, according to the government’s first ever Critical Minerals Strategy.
The document, published by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), sets out how critical minerals will become increasingly important to bolstering energy security and UK industry, including in the production of batteries for electric cars and in electronics and wind turbines.
Cornwall has been highlighted in the report for its mineral wealth and the "world renowned" Camborne School of Mines.
