The Company

Cornish Tin Limited (CTL) is a UK-based exploration company focused on tin and hardrock lithium in Cornwall. Our flagship project is located around the historic Great Wheal Vor mine near Helston, Cornwall – which was one of the richest tin mines in the world during the mid-19th century.
