Description
Reworking of Redmoor. Worked for the extraction of tin, wolfram, and arsenic, with activity continuing as late as 1940-1945. In the early 1980s, the Redmoor mine area underwent prospecting efforts, with plans nearly finalized for production. However, these plans were halted due to a sharp decline in tin prices in 1985.
