Venture Minerals Managing Director Andrew Radonjic said the time for tin is now.

“This placement allows Venture to accelerate the updated underground feasibility study at Mount Lindsay as part of our strategy of becoming an ESG compliant tin producer in the near future, whilst continuing the search for the next tin discovery in Australia’s premier tin district” Mr Radonjic said.

“Tin is an EV Metal and Mount Lindsay is one at the largest undeveloped tin deposits in the world that also hosts a substantial tungsten resource. Tungsten is a critical mineral that governments throughout the world are looking to support the development of new mines such as Mount Lindsay.”
