Work is about to accelerate on a £45m rebuild of the processing plant at Plymouth’s vast tungsten mine - which will create hundreds of jobs.
In the next few months new equipment will arrive and another building will be constructed to complete the processing line at the Hemerdon Mine, Plympton.
This will create hundreds of construction jobs and mean the mine, the third largest tungsten resource in the world, is expected to be in full production by 2023.
