Tin mine rescue deal collapses.
Last ditch efforts to revive Cornwall's only remaining tin mine appeared to
be in tatters last night after it emerged that the prospective new owner has
failed to come up with the funds to acquire the site. .... consortium led by
.. Wilf Hughes reached agreement to acquire the business. ... £625,000
deal .... sale had not been completed because the consortium had not paid
the balance of the money due ....
