Europe: Penouta Tin-Tantalum Mine

Located in Spain’s Central Iberian Zone, this project historically produced tin and tantalum from open-pit mining. Mineralisation, primarily cassiterite and tantalite, occurs in alkaline granite intrusions and greisenised, gneiss-hosted quartz veins.

In recent years, the project restarted by reprocessing of historical tailings and later re-established exploitation of hard rock sources.

SRK has delivered mineral resource estimates (2014, 2021) ahead of the restart and later assisted with comminution studies to guide operational development throughout the transition to primary ore extraction.
