CORNISH METALS REPORTS FINAL DRILLING RESULTS FROM WIDE FORMATION EXPLORATION PROGRAMME
Vancouver, August 18, 2024
Cornish Metals Inc.(AIM/TSX-V: CUSN) (“Cornish Metals” or the “Company”), a mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its 100% owned and permitted South Crofty tin project in Cornwall, United Kingdom, is pleased to report results from the last eight drill holes of the recently completed 14-hole / 8,993m drilling programme at its Wide Formation target, located approximately 1km south of the South Crofty mine.
The programme successfully tested the geometry and continuity of tin mineralisation within a 2,500m by 800m extent of the Wide Formation, located between and sub parallel to the past producing Great Flat Lode to the south, and the Dolcoath and South Crofty mines to the north.
with the Great Flat Lode and the Great Flat Lode Splay identified earlier in the programme (see news release dated February 4, 2024), as well as the interpreted eastern extension of the Great Condurrow Mine’s Main Lode, and several strongly mineralised steeply dipping zones locally referred to as ‘Droppers’.
The numerous mineralised lodes and structures encountered during the programme have increased overall confidence in the Company’s exploration model and confirm the potential of systematic exploration drilling to make new discoveries and expand Mineral Resources within the South Crofty mine permission area and elsewhere within Cornish Metals’ extensive mineral rights in the region.

Highlights
· Wide Formation structure has been confirmed over a strike length of over 2,500m and a downdip extent of at least 800m, with true thicknesses ranging from approximately 2m to 10m. The structure remains open at depth and along strike.
· Notable tin (“Sn”) intercepts within the Wide Formation include:
o 10.55m grading 0.19% Sn including a zone of 1.49m grading 0.72% Sn in CB23_012
· Notable tin intercepts from the steeply-dipping, high-grade ‘Dropper’ zones identified primarily between the Great Flat Lode and the Wide Formation, including:
o 1.56m grading 0.76% Sn in CB23_010
o 2.07m grading 0.85% Sn in CB23_012
o 1.97m grading 0.66%Sn in CB23_012
“This drilling programme has validated the Wide Formation as a new, large-scale, tin-bearing exploration target that is potentially accessible from the underground workings at South Crofty..“Mineralisation has been traced over a 2,500m extent, up to 800m down dip, and remains open along strike and to depth..“Furthermore, in addition to the earlier discovery of the Great Flat Lode Splay and new Dropper’ zones of high-grade tin mineralisation, the discovery of polymetallic tin and copper mineralisation within the interpreted extension of the Great Condurrow Mine’s Main Lode further demonstrates the exploration potential of the South Crofty area.”
