Hey everyone, just read this interesting piece about Cornish Tin raising another $3M in funding: https://www.mining.com/cornish-tin-raises-3m-in-new-funding-round/.
My initial reaction is a mix of intrigue and caution. On one hand, tin is a crucial component in so much modern tech, and onshore mining in a relatively stable jurisdiction like the UK definitely has its appeal, especially with all the supply chain headaches we've been seeing. $3M isn't a huge raise for a mining operation, but a pre-money valuation of $38 million shows they're building some real momentum. I've personally been diversifying my portfolio a bit more over the last year, moving some funds out of high-growth tech that's been floundering towards more tangible assets. For my retirement goals, stability and long-term value are key, and resource plays always catch my eye for that reason. I even check out tools like this Gold IRA Blueprint sometimes to see how gold stacks up against the broader market over different periods.
What do you all think? Are any of you looking at junior miners or specific resource plays right now? Does a UK-based tin miner sound like a solid bet, or are there too many geopolitical/regulatory risks even there? Always keen to hear other perspectives on these kinds of investments. Let me know your thoughts!
